{quote} It is working. I've managed to resurrect this classic NewsBrk indicator, both 006 and 007 (via a simple PS script) and it works better than ever. You can now: - Configure a personalised RSS feed from multiple sources (I use Bloomberg, ForexLive and Fxstreet.) - Set poling to any time. - Update the RSS feed instantly - Set an audio alert when a fresh XML file drops (via the script) The NewsBrk indicator reads data from the "\MQL4\Files\NewsBrkFreeCache.xml" location. In absence of the old FF news feed you can basically build your own XML...

{quote} Well done. I attempted this a few times but I can't get anything to show on the chart. If you get time, please do drop the ex4 and xml file. That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks C-12.

{quote} NewsBrk is on Page 1 of this thread. Powershell script attached. Just need to save as .ps1 and run with powershell (as admin): You will need to change the XML path in the script to your MT4 before saving as .PS1. $DestinationPaths = @( "C:\Path\To\Your\MT4\MQL4\Files\NewsBrkFreeCache1.xml", All the required script files (logs /audio wav files) are automatically pointed to : C:\Users\<YourUsername>\C12RSS) Script will run quietly in the background fetching new data and updating the XML for the MT4 indicator. There is some delay as the indicator...

Here's a Powershell (with GUI) version of the NewsBrk which is similar but offers more features. Must be run in Windows PowerShell ISE. 1) 20 second updates (customizable) 2) Can click the description and see the news details. 3) T to Toggle Always On Top ON/OFF 4) H to Toggle borders ON/OFF and pin the GUI. 5) HD, 2K and 4K scaling. - Open Windows PowerShell ISE - Paste in C12RSS1 text and RUN script. - Save Script as whatever.ps1 When launching, a user profile folder will appear. Drop your custom WAV files in or accept Default sounds. Example...

{quote} I will come back to fix some of the design / GUI elements later, but you do have the full script. Chat GPT is pretty good for tweaking code. For now I have another project going on. {image}

{quote} Had a quick look at the error: The exact problem lies around this part of the script. Likely, the $DestinationPaths array or something close to it has a stray comma or other formatting issue. Basically the file path that points to the MT4 XML file is likely incorrect. $DestinationPaths = @( "C:\Path\To\Your\MT4\MQL4\Files\NewsBrkFreeCache1.xml"
