Hello bcomas,

Thank you for writing in.

Yes this would be possible however would require some custom code.

I put together a sample indicator which will parse the short interest of a stock, pulled from a table off WSJ.com, and display that value on a chart.

You could use this sample as a framework for how you could parse the information you’d like from the calendar.

Once you’ve parsed the report to a date time object, you could then check if the current time was equal to or after the report time. Below would be an example of how you could use a time filter to limit trading,
