Discussion of article "MQL5 Cookbook – Economic Calendar" - page 3

 

After a long hiatus we finally have the genius calendar events module !!!!!!!
Can you graciously demonstrate again?

Example: UK's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) or Canada's (Consumer Sentiment Index)

I understand how to get the currency country_idevent ID ....
but It seems a bit difficult to rewrite based on Non-commercial net positions indicator

Can you graciously demonstrate again?
Thanks

 
The quality is excellent, but it could be improved even more. However, I only trade Gold and the calendar is not displayed on this chart, unlike the currency pairs where the calendar flags go over the horizontal scale, which I really miss on the gold chart.

is there any way, we can backtest using old news?

I think, there should be a way ))  The task is to create a database before backtesting the news...

 

Hi Denis,

That's a really interesting article. I'm about to add some code to my EA for trade blocking based on news. On the economic calendar page of mql5.com there is a 90 day max range for viewing past data. Is that limit the same for MQL5 economic calendar API commands? I too am looking at backtesting.

Thanks
