Retrieve high impact events from ForexFactory.com and display them in your indicator or Expert Advisor:

As I'm currently developing an Expert Advisor for Crude Oil and Brent, I wanted to get from ForexFactory.com the exact date and time of the 'Crude Oil Inventory' report. This report is typically issued on Wednesday's at 10:30am Eastern but when there's a holiday, the release date can change. As this is an important report for my EA, the only way was to check an online service to validate the release date.

Thanks Mohammad!
 

Thanks Claude ...

I planned to go on some project like this in the next few weeks. I know it is not easy task.  I need such feature to

add it to one of my EAs to prevent high impact news. I never make my code use WebRequest( ) function, so, I expect big difficulties are in the way.

You really saved my time.

100 x (Thanks a lot).

Hi Claude, when I drop the EA (as found here) on a chart, nothing happens. Is this normal?

If there are no high impact events for that day, it's normal that nothing would have been displayed.
 

Yes I see it the marker perfectly now. However, the marker shows well for the Eastern Canada time zone, but not for this time zone.

Being a newbie coder, I am having a real hard time trying to adapt it to my time zone.

I added (6*60*60) to each time I saw a line with "StrToTime" as per example below:

StrToTime(DailyEvents[cntr].time)+(6*60*60)

But then on the chart itself, it shows up an hour earlier due to the time zone of my broker.

I give up and I really wish that you could add these features. thanks in advance 

 
Please please comment on this some or everyone .. I'm a little spooked to be honest as I never thought it would actually happen , I've literally got thousands of hours of watching the charts and also I back tested my theory and system on the market and it never failed .. No trades even needed to be left in the market for longer than 2 months and that's worst worst case scenario
