Thank you zzueg, the thing is interesting.
But I prefer extracting data from a text or CSV file (even if I dont know how ;-) for 2 reasons :
- my trading system is independant of a website (end of the site, crash of the server, change in the HTML code ???)
- I can do backtests when I want
Thanks & bye

Hello,
I found the solution in the article "Interaction between MetaTrader 4 and Matlab via CSV Files " in this web site.
Thanks, guys, your work is great !

Hello,
I'm a newbie in MQL4, and a quite bad developper in other languages ;-)
I have to fill an array with the datas of the financials announcements.
The only way i found is that :
Evenement[0][0]="2010.09.21 18:15";
Evenement[0][1]="USD";
Evenement[0][2]="Déclaration de la FOMC";
Evenement[1][0]="2010.09.21 18:15";
Evenement[1][1]="USD";
Evenement[1][2]="Relevé taux d intérêt";
Evenement[2][0]="2010.09.23 12:30";
Evenement[2][1]="USD";
Evenement[2][2]="Unemployment Claims";
It works, but it's very hard to write and modifiy !
Is it possible to fill an array from a text file or a CSV like that :
2010.09.21 18:15;USD;Déclaration de la FOMC;
2010.09.21 18:15;USD;Relevé taux d intérêt;
2010.09.23 12:30;USD;Unemployment Claims;
It will be a great help, thank you if you can.
Bye
