This is really great, been looking for something like this for a long long time. Great job!
Thank you / you're welcome.

I just got back to this group to respond to some posts. I think all the other ones have been answered by other users. When I have a bit of time, I will look into getting it to work a bit better on multiple charts.

Be well, all,

Hi all:

I have taken the code from Flourishing and added it in so that hopefully those of you who use it on multiple charts will have less trouble.

Market is closed, so I am not certain of this, but think the changes were pretty simple, so I am posting it now. Let me know if it has a problem.

Flourishing: Try this one and see if it still takes up all your RAM.

I forgot to reference this.

When all events are done for the week, one cannot just return zero, because it is ambiguous: zero is what is returned AT the time of a news event. So an EA cannot know the difference. If you want your EA to NOT trade 5 minutes or less before an annoucnement, and there are no more, and it returns zero, then it thinks it is news time when it is not, and wrongly stays out of the market.

Best,
-Derk
thank you very much. i may have some misunderstand. extmapbuffer 1 [1] 2[1] are means next coming news untill how many minis it will happened and the news impact , and extmapbuffer 1[0] and 2[0] means past news , do i understand it right ? and if cal has the past news then 1[0] should be minus if there are no past news, 1[0] and 2[0] both should be 0 , am i right ? if i am wrong please tell me. because i use 1[0] mathabs value of it, if it's mathabs is bigger than 5mins , it can take trade. tell me what is wrong.


if no coming and going news all buffers 1[1] 2[1] 1[0] 2[0] all of them should be 0, so the difference between the news just will happens after 0mins returns0 and no news return 0 is the impact of no news it's impact is 0 too , that we can judge it which 0 is.

The new one doesn't show in my charts. The old one works fine.
Another problem is the time is behind of 1 hour my local time.

Another problem: it can't renew the left time automatically.
And how about add a signal in the right of the chart before the news come, I mean exact time news announcement, different colour to show the impact?

First off, no I do not think you have this quite right. In FFCals buffers:

ExtMapBuffer0 contains all the times until each news event. If negative, then they have already passed.

ExtMapBuffer1[0] contains the # minutes SINCE the last event

ExtMapBuffer1[1] contains the # minutes UNTIL the next event

ExtMapBuffer2[0] contains the IMPACT (#) of the PREVIOUS event

ExtMapBuffer2[1] contains the IMPACT (#) of the NEXT event

These last 4 are filled in so that there is an easy one-call method for getting what most people want, rather than having to make a call to get

ExtMapBuffer0[0], ExtMapBuffer0[1], ExtMapBuffer0[2], etc, until you find where it changes from negative to positive.

While it may be possible, without returning my "99999" I do now, to discern your facts via enough calls to the indicator, I leave it the way it is because it is a much more expedient and easy way for users to get the info they need. Plus, although not technically accurate, it makes sense:

If no event has occurred, then saying the last event was 99999 minutes away should be interpreted as "a long time". Same for saying the next event is 99999 minutes away.

That all being said, here is the new version of FFCal. Here are the changes:

- Fixed logHandle error by resetting to -1 when closed
- Added "NeedToGetFile" variable for getting the XML if it does not already exist
- Added extern "SaveXmlFiles", so that when FFCal de-inits, the user can choose whether or not to delete old XML files


I have tested this; it appears a bit more stable.

Okay, I will add this to the wish list.

Please note, it is not version 5 anymore either. The most current one no longer has version numbers. I use a source repository which now keeps track of my revisions, so all you will see is just "FFCal.mq4". If I were still numbering it, it would be 7 or 8 by now.

And you were right; for the latest one, see post #188

Another problem is the time is behind of 1 hour my local time.
I also continue to have this same problem even before I switched to FFCalv05. I am currently using the latest version from Derk's post #188, but the 1hr lag time is still there. Is there any hope of fixing this?

Otherwise, this indicator is awesome....thanks Derk and all who have contributed!

Hi Derk,

I sure hate to be the complainer, but the latest version of FF Cal is locking up all my MT4 platforms. They all seem to go into some sort of memory bog down. I monitored one of them on WinXP's Task Manager and watched as MT4's terminal.exe continued to gobble up big chunks of memory until the PC completely locked up and eventually had to reboot. I've removed this indy from my charts until there's a fix.

Thanks for your efforts!

Same here. It worked fine for many weeks, until I just now installed Build 207. Since then, CPU shoots up to 100% and remains there.

Same Problem I got. FFCal took 100% memory.

But, it seems work at North Finance platform. Not really Sure.

It's a Good Indicator. Any help will be appreciated.

Anyway, Thanks to Author and Programmer.
