News arrowsm how to remove them permanently from charts

[Carlos Albert Barbero Marcos]

They compete with scarce space in charts and can be anoying to trading. When deleted by Objects Delete All they reappear the minute after, apparently broker can't help saying it is Metaquotes option wuile Metaquotes says it is up to broker, so is there a way to swith off the feature, be it permanent or at will?

Are there functions that could handle the "economic calendar"?

There aren't.

But you can get all objects OBJ_EVENT on the chart and try to find some information from name of object and description. It might be helpful.

void OnStart()
  {
   long cid=ChartID();
   int ot=ObjectsTotal(cid,0,OBJ_EVENT);
   Print(ot," objects found.");
   for(int i=0;i<ot;i++)
     {
      string name=ObjectName(cid,i,0,OBJ_EVENT);
      Print(name,": ",ObjectGetString(cid,name,OBJPROP_TEXT));
     }
  }
