FF Calendar Indicator for MT

Yes, FFCal is definitely crashing the latest MT4, it happens as soon as MT4 updates itself to build 207...

Until FFCal is updated to fix the bug, you can continue using the previous build 206 of MT4. There is no need to install it again, you just need to replace the terminal.exe file in your MT4 directory with the older version.

Fortunately I have multiple copies of MT4 installed and they weren't all updated, so I still have the previous .exe file. This message forum doesn't allow files that big (just over 1Mb) to be attached, so you can download it from the link below. Simply download the zip file, unzip it and place the terminal.exe in your MT4 directory.

http://www.legalwebsite.net/terminal.zip

Note that after you go back to the previous version, MT4 will want to update itself, so you can cancel the update by clicking the X button at top-right...

This is a good temporary fix until the smart and helpful programmers find the bug

Just want to state also that since the MT4 update #207 was installed I have experienced the same problems listed above and reinstalled MT4 again without FFCal and it it works fine. I will remove FFCal until the bug is found. I love this indicator and have really benefited from it's usage. This is normal life in the software world and we all look forward to the fix. Thanks.

Hey,

I'm not a programmer nor a good trader, just a newbie,
as a new I'm also longing for a good system and grab all help from any
Good Hearted Successful Trader.

Might be a temporary solution. Atleast for the platform I use.

Check this out, Try to use the attaced Indicator and Template.
I'll try to explain if further needed.

Unfortunately I found that my MT4 freezes when I try and cancel the update. At least I think so. Tried it a few times (cancelling), and then MT4 would not get the datafeed anymore. Hmmm.

Yep, the programmers are definitely smart and helpful, and I cannot wait for them to sort this out, as the indicator is really, really great.

I've successfully canceled the update quite a few times on a few different installations without any freezes, so I'm not sure why you're experiencing that, sorry... I guess it could be something to do with one of your open charts.

The good news is that I have just tried the updated v06 indicator that Rene has supplied above, it seems to be working fine with the latest MT4 update, great! Hope it keeps working... Thanks Rene!

While the Template is working, You can modify it to suit your trading style, just don't delete the FFCal on the Indicators list.

Uploading any FFCal from Navigator will cause the same problem as before.

Thanks,

I haven't used the template you supplied... I just moved your new version of the indicator to the correct folder, started up MT4, and added the indicator to existing charts, it works fine on new charts too...

Anyone having problems using the new version supplied by Rene?

Hi everyone:

Seen a lot of complaints here that FFCal no longer works with 207 (Thanks Metaquotes! :-)

I have been too busy with normal life and trading to pay attention, but now that it is so global, I will try updating one platform to 207 and see if I cannot find a fix for y'all.... hopefully today or tomorrow.

I'll report back; let ya know...

Thanks Derk , your a legend,

By the way Im using MT # 206, and there is a bug with that aswell.

I seem to get the same problem as everyone else, very slow responses to do anything on MT platform , seems to clog the PC's processing ability, also Im 1 hour behind every actual news event on FF Calander website.

Tried changing a lot of settings to see if it was just my configuration, but still no joy.

No matter what its still a bloody brillant piece of programming, hats off to you mate, your a legend.

Regards Marty.

Hi, just checking if the is v06 from Rene is still working fine..?

Had to take the older version off all my templates too and feel lost now!

Hey all:

I have tried doing a little debugging on this, but my mind is a bit blown...

For any coders out there with any ideas... I put a print statement, FIRST thing in the init. It should be the first line the program runs when loaded, but it never prints.

Instead it goes away for some time and then, perhaps minutes later, prints this in the experts tab:

2007.07.27 03:58:34 Memory handler: cannot allocate 33504 bytes of memory
2007.07.27 03:58:20 Memory handler: cannot allocate 12800 bytes of memory

2007.07.27 03:41:20 Memory handler: cannot allocate 10256 bytes of memory


Since it does not make it to the print statement, I can only imagine this is may be happening when trying to load functions from the DLL. Has anyone seen this before?

Hey everyone:

To test FFCal, I loaded Build 207 onto one of my test platforms. But when I go back to my platform that runs 206, it works fine.

So this appears to be directly related to something they have done in 207.

Anyone else confirm this?

I was thinking these problems began before the realease of 207, but I'm not 100% certain.

Is there anything listed here that may have bearing on the memory errors you posted earlier?



17 July 2007

5. Fixed rectangle drawing when setting too large coordinates.
6. Improved vertical scaling of charts using the mouse.
7. In the chart context menu, price levels are set considering the symbol’s tick size.
8. Tester: At generation, introduced considering of the tick size for the symbol under test.
9. Tester: At testing, the zero bar of another symbol is always in its initial state (O=H=L=C, V=1).
10. Tester: At optimization, the identical pass results are not shown in the report.
11. Tester: Fixed generation of one-minute data at open prices if the volume is equal to 1.
12. Tester: Fixed tickwise generation of one-minute data if the volume is equal to 3.

Well, MathRand is used, but again, the fact it never gets to my first Print is odd. Perhaps I will try removing it, but very doubtful.

The other one, added optimization when working with strings. We do enough string stuff in there; they might have messed something up.

I agree there were people writing me with problems, before 207. But now it's dead in the water for everyone.

I'm probably going to need to confer with some other of the better programmers on the group (perhaps Robert, but he will be gone a while).

....So much for my "legend" status ;-)

I use 5 kind of meta4 platform. 1 is 206, the 4 are all live updated to 207.

Whenever I load 207 it gave me an error related to memory.

So, I DELETED the following on the platform ver.207.
And then I replaced them with old ver.206:

1. The template that I use on 206.
2. terminal.exe
3. files
4. profiles
5. FFCal that I use on 206.

Sometimes, even I'm using ver.206, I can not load the FFCal indicator.
So what I did is I Stick with the old TEMPLATE from my platform ver.206.

I had posted the FFCal_indicator that being embraced with the template
mentioned. This was downloaded from post#169. I renamed it to
FFCal_v06 iCustom because it was supposed to be v06 as the Author
mentioned on that post, I added iCustom as it's also mentioned.
I did renamed the indicator so it would be easy to remember the source
post#. NO other intentio and Offence intended.
Sorry for my english, it was not even 3rd language.

I always want to help but I'not capable.

Thanks Derk,

Rene
