Hi,

does someone has information about the possibility to load the Event Calendar from MT5 into an EA Script?

Would be nice if anybody could help me with that.

Thanks. tMAE

Built-in calendar is not acessible via MQL5 API, but you can use a lot of 3-d party codes which download and display news. Just search through the site.

Same topic is currently discussed here: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/312462. Just follow the links there, where I show an implementation that works for both strategy tester and live trading.
