I think you can make those elements appear by slightly expanding the strategy tester window upwards. I also noticed the strange rounding on the first test I ran after upgrading to build 940. I was about to raise a problem on the MQL Service Desk but ...

Hi David I too am no longer getting any news plotted, although V1.12 did seem to work ok for a while yesterday. It really is very useful and I, for one, would be grateful if you could continue to keep it current. Thanks, Greg

Hi David Yes, it certainly seems to have got messed up! Cheers, Greg

I think your assumption is correct. What differs is the way in which the brokers do it in volatile markets, like those at news times. My take on it is as follows: Retail brokers, in general, widen spreads to give themselves some leeway in getting ...

If I understand Gifog's requirements correctly, it would need to be something in the pre-Metatrader process that would simulate the little green button that appears around the time of the release. There would need to be an active process that picked ...

If those are live accounts, I'd be interested to know which brokers they are, as I know lots of people struggle either with increased spreads or requotes at news time. I'm not sure if the forum rules allow you to mention names so please PM me. The ...

As far as I know, no one has tried to create an EA from this indicator. Regarding getting the released numbers into the EA, your best bet may be to ask Hanover if it's possible to make a version of the BuildNews.csv process that could be set to run ...

Further bells and whistles — Attached is version V1.07.3 of the indicator, which combines all the features of previous versions (amended in some cases) and adds a few new things, as follows: 1) The logic to create the file of price movements ...

Sorry about that! Attached is a version of Plot_News_v1_07_2 that checks to see if the file has been opened before trying to close it. Cheers, Greg

David That's great - thanks! Greg
- Spindrift replied Jul 16, 2007
Yes, that's what I was referring to. I think it's definitely worth including as it does seem to have an effect on the eventual price movement. I haven't really explored the CSV file but just glancing at it now suggests that the resultant spreadsheet ...

Hi David Thanks again for all the hard work you're putting into your Plot News process. The information it provides is really useful and saves me a lot of time when trying to determine the potential effect of each pending news release. Regarding the ...

Hi Kurka Attached is a version of the indicator that allows you to specify a pre and post release bar count (preReleaseBars and postReleaseBars). It also puts out OHLC data for each bar. I haven't tested it much and certainly haven't tried it with ...

Hi Kurka Attached is an implementation of your idea. I incorporated it with my version of the indicator, making into a method that's only called when the indicator is going to plot the report on the graph. As you will notice, I came up with one way ...

A couple of tweaks to my version of the Plot_News indicator. 1) It's now a bit better at picking up the right "next" news when FilterByNext is used. 2) It puts out 3 vertically aligned down arrows to aid identification when FilterByNext or ...

Attached is a version of the Plot News indicator with a couple of added "bells and whistles". The functional additions are as follows: 1) Allow filtering using an external variable (textFilter) 2) Allow filtering by up to 6 reports for a given time ...

Hi David I started up my MetaTrader platform this morning and, lo and behold, today's pending trades were displayed! Yesterday, I was messing around with the the amount of space displayed at the right edge of the chart and I guess I closed it down ...
