WASDE Dates V2 – USDA Release Calendar with Alerts, Countdown & Event Markers

By cot-trader.com

WASDE Dates V2 is a complete and reliable visualization tool for all scheduled WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) releases for 2025 and 2026.
The USDA’s WASDE report is one of the most market-moving fundamental catalysts in agricultural futures—affecting Corn (ZC), Wheat (ZW), Soybeans (ZS), Soymeal (ZM), Soybean Oil (ZL), and many related CFD products.
This script gives traders a precise timing layer directly inside their TradingView charts.

🔍 What this script does

WASDE Dates V2 automatically:
Marks each WASDE release day with a vertical line and label.
Shows an automated countdown to the next WASDE release:
In days (>24h)
In hours & minutes (<24h)
Displays an optional table of upcoming WASDE dates for quick reference.
Provides two alert conditions:
WASDE Day Alert – triggers exactly on the event
WASDE 24h Reminder – pre-alert when less than 24 hours remain
Handles both 2025 and 2026 confirmed dates.
Works on any symbol and timeframe.

📌 Why WASDE matters

The WASDE report updates global supply and demand estimates for:

Corn
Soybeans
Wheat

Other major agricultural commodities

Changes in yield, acres, production, imports/exports, and ending stocks can cause immediate and significant volatility.
Many traders combine WASDE awareness with seasonality, COT positioning, volatility filters, or fundamental models.

This script ensures you never miss the timing of these key releases.

⚙️ How the script works

The script stores official USDA WASDE release dates for 2025 and 2026 in two dedicated arrays.

On every bar, it compares the bar’s timestamp with known WASDE timestamps to detect an event day.

When an event occurs:
A red “WASDE” label is plotted above the candle
A dotted vertical line is drawn through the bar
It finds the next upcoming WASDE by scanning forward through both arrays.
A live-updating countdown label is displayed, showing days or hours/minutes until release.
If the event is less than 24 hours away:
A yellow “WASDE soon” warning appears near price
The 24h alert condition becomes active
An optional table lists upcoming events for 2025 & 2026.

This script does not generate trading signals.
It provides a time-based event layer designed to complement any discretionary or algorithmic trading approach.

🧭 How to use

Add the script to your chart.
Enable alerts for:
“WASDE Day Alert”

Use together with other agricultural tools such as:
