Possibly, something changed, I don't know, but I don't have any issue on my side. I can check other URLs if you want.

Thank you for your help Alain.

As a troubleshooting task I will try to use an older version of MT5 and I shall see if the problem persists...

good thinking but it DID NOT change the situation. it is still not working.

even the new build version 3644 DID NOT change anything. still not working.


in such crutial situations, as the EAs are trading real money, maybe it would be of use to have an mt5 option build in to revert to the previous (stable) version, or to turn off the updating process altogether and do it once a while...

I had cache on the calendar that uses this . But after deleting the file cache it still worked , so the issue seems to be the distance of the requests op . Space them out to 1 minute , the screen its responding with its the cloudfare defense , their server must be getting hammered

*note , did not test spacing requests in mt5 , works on mt4
