Forex Signal Intelligence Platform - News & Sentiment Engine

Monitors economic calendar events and news sentiment to provide
fundamental context for technical signals.
Key principle: High-impact news events override technical signals.
A perfect technical setup can be destroyed by an unexpected NFP print.
