{quote} Hi Jagg, I agree. That's why I'm a bit upset that it doesn't show the Calendar again in my chart. Your version is twice the size of mine. I was hoping yours could work. Already installed it, but again--as shown below--only the 'No More Events' phrase came up. {image}
Your check was made on 7th of july so there are still "NO EVENTS" left for this week

It's working - I've checked again here (also no more events shown) but the data file was added perfectly. Check if you have a file \MQL4\Files\FFC-ffcal_week_this.xml with the events data from last week.

I also think you have to allow webrequest for ff in the mt4 options, see screenshots attached.

Danke, Sir!

The adding of the website in the option makes it works! Both using your file and my old one.
Since yours is in germany, I'll go keep using my english-version FFC then.

Again, vielen Dank!

Great indicator.

Possible Improvements:

1. Add the Actual Numbers once updated by FF website would be awesome for entering positions quickly.
2. The News lines appear per the brokers date and time they are not in sync with the time listed on FF website, making the lines sync with the FF time would be great. 3. Also, as opposed to showing how many hours till news, can you make it where it shows news event in local time the way FF website does when logged in.

Good day all: With the generous cooperation of the folks at ForexFactory, I have created an indicator which will tell you how many minutes till the next relevant news event (or two). Normally I peruse the Yahoo MetaTrader_Experts_and_Indicators group, where this has already been posted. But it's only proper that it be posted here as well. In order to use it, you need to turn on DLL Imports in your Metatrader platform options, because it calls a DLL to get your timezone, as well as another to read the ForexFactory web page to get news information....
Hi,

first of all, thank you for the usefull indi.

Just one thing I miss in it, I can not use it for backtesting.
It would be very usefull to get (true/false) the vertical lines at events in the past too. Currently it is possible to get them drawn only at future events.

I hope you find time to modify it. Thanka a lot

Regards

Can you please pm me and give me the link? or tell us what is the name of the forum. I would also need the FFCAL telling you how long before the events.

thank you
