Indicators: FFC - Forex Factory Calendar - page 9

 

Hi - first off thank you to the authors for this great indicator.  I've been using the iCustom function inside my EA to auto-enable and disable trading on high impact news event for the past few months. Starting this week I've noticed that the events shown on the chart are not auto-refreshing to the current day.  The continue to display the news event for the last time the EA was placed on the chart. So, for example, If I placed the EA on the chart on Sunday, June 2nd then the chart continues to display the events from Sunday, June 2nd even though today is Tuesday, June 4th.   I have to replace the EA on the chart for the events to update.  This had been working fine for the past few months.

Has anyone else noticed this on their charts?

You can't, history data are only available at the website.
 

And it continues to give error on downloading the data, so those who designed EAs to work with FFcal dependable are facing problems i supposed.

Any other good similar news indicator like FFCal available to recommend?

This is frustrating on the FFcal indicator or you have found resolution, do update please

Hi, I have the same problem when I apply an 10 years old EA, which use FFCal ver 20, it doesn't work even after I updated the URL to "http://cdn-nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml" over the old forexfactory calender url.


Then, I searched and found an indicator that also based on Derk Wehler's FFCal version 20, but it is dated as in 2019, so I managed to apply it into my EA, after several hours, I think I get it work. I attached this indicator below for your ref.


Need to mention , this indicator ,  "FFC_April_2019" , has a different parameter set compared with FFCal, I think it have at least 3 more additional parameters as , 'active chart only?'/Incl holiday?/update every ?hour.  so you need to change it in your EA.

Hope this can help.
