s-LastPinkEventDate - script pour MetaTrader 5

Since build 344 of the client terminal display of economic calendar news using special graphical objects (OBJ_EVENT) is added.

A script that outputs as a demonstration of the Economic Calendar with current economic data, the date of the last major(Pink) event.

Use the function datetime last_pink_event_date()

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| The function returns the date of the last event                  |
//| marked in pink (economic indicator                               |
//| is less than expected).                                          |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
datetime last_pink_event_date()
  {
   string  name="";
   int total=ObjectsTotal(0)-1;

   for(int i=total; i>=0; i --)
     {
      name=ObjectName(0,i);

      if(ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_TYPE,0)  !=  109) continue; // Object type - Event
      if(ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_COLOR,0) != Pink) continue; // Object color - Pink

      datetime date=(datetime)StringSubstr(name,0,16); // Highlight the event date from the text string

      return(date); //return the date
     }

   return(0);
  }

Recommendations:

• On weekends there there are no data objects on the chart
• Special graphical objects are present and activated
