This Expert Advisor is designed to help you manage trading around high-impact news events, fetched from
the Forex Factory economic calendar in XML format.
It includes real-time monitoring of upcoming news and can automate trading operations before and after
important economic releases.
------------------------------
🌐 1. XML News Source
------------------------------
- The EA fetches news from:
https://nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml
- The XML is saved locally as "ff_calendar_thisweek.xml".
- The file is refreshed every Sunday automatically.
- The calendar is based on London time (UK).

- Impact: HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, HOLIDAY
- Currency: USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, AUD, NZD, or Others

- Shows the next filtered news and time remaining (on-chart via Comment)
✅ Pre-news automated actions (each with its own timer):
- ❌ Auto-close all positions
- 🔐 Force a BreakEven SL attempt on all open trades
✅ Safety:
