Tell me what ya think?

I have a "Server" app that reads Economic data from a source I tracked down .;)

This reads the data and stores the information in a local database. Current testing seems to be able to read daily information about every 1-2 seconds.

I then also have my "Client" app that displays the read information in a friendlier manner.

This allows me to see items that have been updated and items that are up next.

If items have been updated, the MT4 server time is saved with the new item. This allows me to check the different spikes that were caused from the event.

This is a shot of the spikes that happened over the next 15 mins.

So I am of course also using an MT4 Expert that copies all tick information into the database for the charts I wish to trade on. With this, I can also view current prices without having to switch to the MT4 app.

The last piece that I am currently working on is the trade setup, where I can set the direction of a trade - based on the outcome of a piece of news.
Such as if the divergence is + 0.2 I can make a buy or a sell of a specific currency, and set specific TP and SL with it. Will also be able to place 2 pending orders before a trade, then close out the other when one is opened.

So, tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions for me.

This was all written in C#m, WPF, MongoDB and MQL4.
