Hi All,
I'd like to download all calendars in the past, for example from 2020.1.1 to now.
Is there a URL to be downloaded?
Regards!

Hello, I have recently set up MT4 on a Windows Server Standard 2022 VPS.
I cannot get the Forex Factory Calendar (FFCal) Indicator to work, neither any calendar news indicators.
When I look under the MT4 Experts tab, there is an error message "ForexFactoryCalendar-FFCal2 [USA100]-T,H4: FFC: failed to open FFC-ffcal_week_this.xml file, Error code = 5004"
I am wondering if the issue is the webrequest URL.

I have tried putting in the MT4 Webrequests http://cloud.forexfactory.com and http://forexfactory.com but still noting works.

Please help

I have made the news filter EA based on this thread but it not working properly.

Logic and Conditions :

1. Before X min from News => set value to string => News_Trade_Status = "Do Not Execute Trade Mode";
2. After X min from News => Set value to string => News_Trade_Status = "Do Not Execute Trade Mode";
3. If 1 & 2 condition failed => Set value to string => News_Trade_Status = "Execute Trade Mode";


I request you to please check my code and let me know what mistake i am making.

Memnon and esmartingfx, thank you. Your link is OK. FFC_urlupdate_20210324 is in attachment. https://nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml Importantly! Compare news time from FF web site, your real time and your broker time in MT4 before using! {image} {image} {file} {file} {file} {file} {file} {file}
I update this indicator to MT5. Enjoy it!

{quote} i did a little edit to the indy @Saltan sent here so you can set time offset in minutes. {file}
MQL4 Version: Can someone add a vertical line on the chart at the news time. Also change the chart background color before a certain amount of time of a news release and also undo the background color change after a certain time after the news release. What I mean, let say, there will be a news release at 1:30 GMT. So 20 minutes (can be changed manually) before the news release, so at 1:10 GMT chart background color will be RED (can be changed manually). And after the news release, after 15 minutes (can be changed manually), chart background color will be its previous state.

Now it doesn't work on all their FF calendars ( ICS | CSV | JSON | XML ) . They limited it to one load. Cannot be used on multiple pairs and metatraders on same VPS (IP). That's the end. You have to look for another calendar.

Looks like we all need to download the file and place in locally and refresh it hourly. And then modify the FFCAL indicator to point to the local file.

And what will be the correct local location for win 10, 11, win server 12, 16, 19, 22 and MAC?

LoL just came across this issue.

Even though I do already store it locally, I'm guilty of just downloading the file every time the EA is loaded or the market/timeframe is switched on the chart it's loaded on.

Since they mentioned that requesting it more than once an hour is unnecessary, I'm going to go ahead and assume that once an hour is fine and I will program a check to see if enough time has passed before attempting to update the calendar.

For any developers wondering how to do this on MT4/MT5, you can use Global Variables to store the time for when you first download it, then check the Global Variable to see if enough time has passed before your program goes to download it again, and make sure to update the Global Variable for the current time. For those who don't know what they are, Global Variables are a special type of variable that is stored on disk rather than in memory and their values persist through MT4/MT5 restarts. Here's a link to the documentation to get you started: https://docs.mql4.com/globals
