Forex Factory Calendar CSV Export

Hi,

I think it was possible to download the News calendar from FF as CSV file. Did they remove this functionality ??

If they did, can you please recommend me a good other source? Fxstreet has a CSV Export function but I cant download all data ( I Need period of 4 years) at once

I don't recall this functionality ever having existed (at Forex Factory).
Hence I wrote my own news downloader; if you're interested, you can find more info here.

Attached is a ZIP containing a comma separated (CSV) file of 47,182 FF calendar news announcements from Jan 1, 2007 thru Sep 01, 2017, timestamped New York EST (or DST when applicable). The CSV file can be imported to any platform (e.g. Excel) for further analysis.
Columns (from left to right) are:
Date, Time, Currency, Impact, News description, Actual, Forecast, Previous, Revised from, FF event ID

thank you very much !!!! <3 This is exactly what I was looking for !!!

pleas how to to import these data to the mt4 ? is it by using import button n history center?

I'm curious why EST instead of UTC?


You need a custom mql solution for that.

The FF calendar is EST by default. The export is a by-product of the Plot News indicator/downloader, which is into its fourth revision over a 9 year period, and everybody seems happy enough with EST. It's just always been that way, and nobody has asked me to change it.

I provided an app to convert the timestamps in the file to UTC/GMT (or any custom timezone, UTC/GMT+X, where the user provides a +/- value for X) as part of the package (here). And the Plot News indicator in the package (screenshot below) also allows for a user-defined timezone shift.

What do you mean by "import the data to MT4"?

The Plot News indicator is one possible custom solution for displaying news events on a MT4 chart as Wingdings symbols (hover the mouse cursor over a symbol to see the event details -- as shown in the screenshot): If you want something else, you'd need to either find another indicator, code it yourself, or persuade or pay a programmer (but NOT me!!) to code it for you.

There are some other free news indicators available, by DerkWehler, FiatFap, euclid, and FXpulse.

Dear Hanover,
Thanks a lot for this amazing work. I was looking for such a forex calendar specially it’s CSV export option. I wonder if it is possible for you to code this indicator which makes it possible to export the CSV file with different tabs, each one has only one of the (USD,GBP,…) information? (like the attached picture).
Thanks for the grate job!
