As far as I understand, the calendar functions don't work in the tester? How is it supposed to test? When initialising, download a list of events and then work with these lists? Or save to a file and read from the file.

I do it this way. But there is much more trouble with understanding whether an indicator was known at a certain date of time in fact, not in theory.

I have also noticed several times discrepancies between the MQL5 calendar and investing.com. As a rule, the discrepancy was that the important news on investing.com was of average importance in the MQL5 calendar.

and it's also not very clear how this whole thing fits with DST transitions. Is the time of past events that we see now the real time of these events, or if there was a time translation, we need to correct this time?

I forget the answer to that question every time. We have to look.

It is better not to rely on subjectivity. The importance of events should be determined independently and after that you should see whether you can make a profit there.

wow, how can you do this "independently" in automatic mode?

I'd have to check it against the data. Because, as it seems to me, the errors are more likely in the MQL5 calendar. What should we take as a reference?
