Indicators: FFC - Forex Factory Calendar - page 13

[Ulises Ulpiano Cune]

ForexFactory changed the HTML code of the impact, the new value is "icon--ff-impact-red" for high impact.

In python the code would be:

calendar__impact = row.find('td', class_='calendar__impact').find('span')['title'][0]

if calendar__impact == "icon--ff-impact-red":

                 calendar__impact = "high"

I don't know how is MQL5

Thank you SO much for sharing the MT5 version - can you give me any clues why I only see a blue box?

I have allowed forexfactory in the 'web requests' and allowed DLL imports, any thoughts are greatly appreciated :) 

 

Forex factory changed the way their website is built. The general URL and several Html tags are not the same anymore. That's why the indicator is not working (anymore?).

You will need to change the url in the code then change the searching patterns (/date, ...), and add security on the "alert()" function in the when the URL is changed. If not the alert will loop infinitely on your screen. 

http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php?c=2&week=

change it to

https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar?week=

Other changes are mainly  in the ConvertHTMtoCSV function:

- check StringFind <tr class=\"calendar__row calendar_row -> change it to <tr class=\"calendar__row calendar__row , 

- GetVal(rows[r],"date\">","</td>") -> there is no  date\ in their new html...

I've stopped searching from there.

Hi,

modify the indicator, and change the forexfactory.com url for this one:  https://nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml

Is there a way to fix this timmer error?

I cant seem to find what is wrong. Nothing was changed ave the name so I know which pair this indicator was one.  

Thank you!!

i apply the indicator on the chart but i get this error message:

2024.03.04 10:16:14.423 FFC XAUUSD,H1: FFC: failed to open FFC-ffcal_week_this.xml file, Error code = 5004

seems that the xml file in files\ directory is not created?

to test i downloaded the xml file manually and changed its name, and placed it manually in \files\ folder, and then the indicator showing the news the chart, and the buffer is counting down, 

(i allowed dll files etc..)

what could be the problem? thanks

boeyahya #:
FFC-ffcal_week_this

I changed line 443 to this and it works fine for me.

string sUrl="https://nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml";

Seems the xml URL has changed.
