MetaTrader 5 terminal and MQL5 programming language are constantly evolving, expanding their market analysis features, tools for developing more complex trading robots, etc. One of the new terminal tools is the Economic Calendar that can be handled both manually and with the help of robots.

The built-in calendar is flexible enough. You can configure it on the Calendar terminal tab, install it on your website or download the mobile version. Being an algorithmic trader, I am mostly interested in the tool's programming features.

Hi, Good Day Sergey


Why is the mt5 news calendar built in sometimes different from websites that provide news calendars such as investing.com?

As happened with CAD core cpi (mom nov), on investing.com it is in the high importance news category, but on mt5 the news calendar is in the medium important news category?
What really distinguishes the mt5 news calendar built in from news calendars from other websites? and can you mention the source of the mt5 news calendar taken from?
thank's before for your time and your answer

mql5 news calendar was build by itself without taking any news/impacts/etc from the other news calendars.
Because news calendars are very different ones: there are informational calendars, and there are tradable calendar which we can trade news events with them, and so on.

So, it is the normal sotuation when the impact of some news event is different from one calendar to an other one.

But you can check forex-factory calendar (which was the best tradable calendar in past; yes, in past) - this news event is low impacted :

Anyone did any comparison analysis with forex factory to determine :

2. How different are the impact classifications?

3. Anyone actually tried to get forex factory news using code in MQL5?
