Apiga, I was wondering if you would consider a future update which allows the user to make it pause auto-trading at a set time before news events, then resumes auto-trading after the news event? L
I'll try to schedule this.

As for "completely freeze", most likely you can't connect to our server for some reasons. Mt4 freeze when it can't get answer from the server. Proxy, ports disabled, firewalls, etc. Unfortunately, it need a lot of time to investigate.

Did you try Mladen's, News Reader ? I think it is one of the better ones. it is the thread "Yet another news reader..."
Enjoy it while it lasts, then pay for it. Be Grateful.

really cool calendar(light fast responding when you change pairs or TF) but i noticed it makes my mt4 freeze after a while.when you leave mt4 alone for a few hours for example.

btw the title of this thread says its based on FF calendar but as i kept checking and comparing , it exactly matches the investing.com's calendar which is in my opinion better calendar. impact rating and everything else .

Thank you so much for the indicator, I find it convenient

However, I have an issue with the dark theme, I am not able to read the titles of the news!

Would it be possible to have a theme that displays the currencies in black and the titles of the news in yellow?

I find this yellow (255,222,36) works well for a dark background.

Thank you so much for your help and assistance,

Logan

Hi @Apiga
You have endeavoured to create this indicator and shared it for free as it is available for everyone to use.
But, why didn't you include the source code here?

Checked this using investing calendar. If there is the problem with dst it should be addressed to calendar providers. Indicators shows the same as on the website.

I know that many are used to the fact that indicators are distributed with source code. But this is our intellectual property and our choice of how to distribute indicators. If you need any changes, you can suggest them.

it happens in certain times , today(Saturday) it just keeps freezing mt4. maybe on weekends something happens? it worked fine everyday this week.

and can't you please modify it in a way so it doesn't freeze in times where server is not accessible(for any reason)?!

Thank you so much for a very useful and elegant news indicator!

I'm putting in a request to the developer of the indicator for an option to be included where the user could choose to also show the Bank Holidays. Some news indicators show them, some do not. Yours doesn't. For me and many others I think your indicator would become "complete" if adding this option. If request is denied, no worries. In any case, thanks for what you are doing for the community.

Take care and warm blessings to you!

Hi Apiga, thanks for the great indicator . it seems the Alert Method does not adjust the local time with system time. do you think we can have local time alert ? e.g local time here is 13:30 gmt+8 , the event is 13:30 gmt+3 . i will get the alert at my local time 13:30 which is 5 hours before the event. how to get the alert just 5 mins (not 5 hours) before the event ? many thanks.
Somehow I am also having the same issue as yours. I think somewhere the coding inside is mess up between local time and server time. Too bad.
Take my view with a pinch of salt!

Hello Apiga, does your indicator stops auto-trading on mt4?

Is investing.com the source of news info?

Hi Apiga, I would like to request for the Alert bug at Post 97 above to be solved. I am using the 1.07 version. Thanks in advance.
