Hello,
the idea is to use FOMS meeting dates as a signal to buy or sell. Could you please help me to write it using WL script. I understand that I need to use some fundamental data provider, but I`ve not found how can do it. Is it possible to do with free data provider?
Thanks,

Eugene

Hi Roman,

You haven't searched hard enough. :) Last month I created a strategy that trades on FOMC meeting dates:

Eugene, U are right, I`ve searched forum only for "FOMC" and found nothing.
Anyway, the strategy is a masterpiece and that exactly what I looked for.
Thanks for the quick help

Roman, you are far too kind.

Stumbled onto this thread and decided to post an update. For a long time it's been possible to download the FOMC strategy by clicking "Download" in Wealth-Lab's "Open Strategy" dialog:
