There is a new indicator added in recent blocks build; particularly, the newsbuzz and news count.
 
I'm trying to figure out how to use it. When I click on it, it ask for input. I couldn't find the right input for this.

You should be able to add the News Buzz and News Count Indicators now without receiving the prompts as long as you have the Comtex NewsBuzz service (and you should get a notice that a subscription is required if you do not have the necessary service).

News Count is just a Count of the number of News stories for a Symbol. News Buzz measures the surge in News Stories for the Symbol (by taking the ratio of a short Moving Average to a longer Moving Average).

I tested with your login credentials and News Buzz worked fine.  Someone from support will be contacting you to see if they can figure out why it's not working.

Thanks I am able to get it to work by resetting the program. However, I am a little disappointed because many numbers on the news count indicator does not seem to match what I see on the feeds?

Articles that post after the close of trading get counted for the next market day.  So you may see a News Count of say 6, with only 3 articles on the current day.  But that means there are 3 articles from the previous day that came in after the market close.
