I still cant get it to work, DLL imports are enabled on the global settings and on the news cal.
Look at the post #15, the second part about the Experts tab. There should be an error or something.

Yes, it's mine indicator too. Just changed the name not to disturb anyone with branding.

No matter what I try, I can't get this calendar to work.
No error in experts log, DLLs' checked.

Does this indicator use unusual ports to access internet?
My ISP has me behind a CGNAT (running out of ipv4 addresses).

Thanks for sharing the news indicator Apiga. I notice that whenever two news events are closer together that the stars from one event overlaps the currency symbol relevant to the next event. How do you feel about placing the stars next to the currency symbol, all in one vertical line for the sake of clarity?

Hi Apiga, thank you for the great indcator. I am facing a problem when loading this indicator on my computer. The indicator panel looks very small on my screen and probably because I am using a high resolution laptop(2880x1800 resolution). May i ask some help to fix the display problem.?

Looks like you are using screen multiplier, so fonts in mt4 adapt to the size of you screen. But, unfortunately, the panel is made as a bitmap image, so it cannot adapt. I am not sure it's fixable. We can add a feature to multiple panel size, but according to the rareness of problem it can be not reasonable.

Thank you for replying. Is it possible to share the mql4 code source? so that I could try if I can fix it myself. Thanks again.

As this indi is set, the news alerts only show in H1 or lower charts. You can set it to show up in H4 charts, but there are too many and they look awful. If you want to know the news, switch to an H1 chart. I liked the old FFCal news alert indi a lot better.

Hi, thanks for a repiared calendar indicator. I use the upcoming events in building EA's, but this one has no buffers, no way to see in the code, the upcoming event.

Any plans for this?

thank you.

- Can you build in that I can also display GBP news on a EUR/USD chart so basically fill EUR GBP USD in indicator and then it shows me those news items? GBP has a huge influence on how EUR is behaving so it would be beneficial if we can combine this.

- Also if I press news items on chart the panel shows up but it constantly moves away after tick movement, don't have time to read it. Can you make it that it doesn't do that and also option to have a panel that shows upcoming news and stays visible.
- Also on https://www.dailyfx.com/calendar Friday 19th july, there is High impact news coming USD U. of Mich. Sentiment (JUL P) but I see it gives 2 stars on your indicator which makes it medium news.

Thanks for the build!

You can disable filter by symbol, but you can't add only GBP news to EURUSD chart.

{image} The problem was Solved Recently, many traders faced with the fact that their common calendar indicators in MT4 stopped working or even started to hang/crash the terminal. Lags occur due to the fact that indicator can not receive a response from the server with the data. Unfortunately, the xml calendar page from FF is heavily overloaded and such failures occur periodically. The reason is that some coders set too frequent request to the server, and 1000 users who installed this indicator create an already noticeable server load. To avoid such...
Indicator is really great. And i'd like to add it to my expert. But what parameters it returns? what should be input param?
I want to add this indicator to make close position if on new price moves oposite my position. So, what param will the indicator have in news period ???
I try to add it with iCustom
Or could u send a whole code or a part of code to understand. Tks

I found that -
int minutesSincePrevEvent =
iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "News.Calendar", true, false, false, true, true, 1, 1);
Print(iCustom(Symbol(),0, "News.Calendar", true, false, false, true, true, 1, 1));

int minutesUntilNextEvent =
iCustom(Symbol(), 0, "News.Calendar", true, false, false, true, true, 1, 0);
Print(iCustom(Symbol(),0, "News.Calendar", true, false, false, true, true, 1, 0));

But it always return 0.0

This is a great addition Apiga thank you!

Could you please give us color options in the inputs for the text & lines? I can barely see the info cuz I use a black background.

Thanks
