Retrieving data from the MT5 Calendar

[Timothy Smith]

Hi MQL5 community,

I'm trying to pull data from the MT5 calendar to use in an EA.

Can one of you experts out there provide a basic example that shows how to retrieve the last value from a high impact news event?

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Tim
