FF Calendar Indicator for MT - page 7

 

Forex Factory Calander Alert Indicator?

Hi Guys

I'm only new here so thought someone has seen or coded an EA

audio alert and perhaps email alert to approaching red flag news

"high impact expected" news for the approciate timezone the

machine is in.???

So many times the market has rallied hard only to find checking the news

more frequently could have offered opportunities beforehand.

Thanks

Tekmann

 

Metatrader is changing thing every day so what worked before, does not work today

The same is for forex factory : what worked yesterday, does not work today because they change their data formats

For now : here is a forex factory calendar that works (at least today) forexfactorycalendar_nmc.mq4

If they change something, it will be updated

From what side the problem is coming : ff of metatrader?

ff changing the format of data + metatrader changing the way how dlls are called

OK. Thanks

 
techmac:
OK. Thanks

It is normal that ff changes the format (after all they are changing the look of the site). What is not as usual is the change from ansi to unicode that metatrader is doing for which I do not see any reason (this is not a word processing program, this is a trading terminal)

 

They probably changed to unicode in order to be able to sell us magazines

 

I am trying to use this indi in my own code but some of the suggested lines does not work.

Is it possible for someone to re-write these so it works?

// SAMPLE CALLS TO THE INDICATOR:

//

// int minutesSincePrevEvent =

// iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 0);

//

// int minutesUntilNextEvent =

// iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 1);

That indicator is not compatible with new metatrader 4

It needs to be rewritten

I am using the code that is in post #63. Isn't it possible to make above code to fit in?
