Kurka:

I think your problem might have been that you were multiplying by (-1) where you should not have been.

In the sample code, you will see calls like this:

iCustom("GBPUSD", 0, "FFCal_v05", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 0);

Those booleans mean:
true: include high priority
true: include medium priority
false: do NOT include low priority
true: include "speaks"
true: draw to chart --change to false to prevent any output to chart


Works fine for me. Hope this helps.

PS: I have also enclosed FFCal v5 again. The only change was I turned off logging.

Hi, All
Anybody can help me??
I Tried to edit the Timezone according to my broker 'FXDD', its GMT+2, so I enter 2, but it didn't work...... It always missed -1hr with my local time, even I changed the value to 8 or 9 or the other.... the times on the screen never matched with local time.
I checked local time setting on my laptop, its OK, syncrhonize automatically.
So what wrong with me??
Is this the code that should be edited:
>>
#import "kernel32.dll"
int GetTimeZoneInformation(int& TZInfoArray[]);
#import
#define TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN 0
#define TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD 1
#define TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT 2
int TZInfoArray[43];
datetime TimeGMT()
{
int DST = GetTimeZoneInformation(TZInfoArray);
if (DST == 8)
DST = 3600;
else
DST = 1;

return( TimeLocal() + DST + (TZInfoArray[0] + TZInfoArray[42]) * 60 );
>>

The bold DST = ...., tried to change many times, still, the result is missed -1 with my localtime.
I live in Indonesia, = GMT +7
My Broker, FXDD = GMT +2
I download the 14 rev FFCal

Anyone had happened like this, would share your info!
Thanks a lot,

Agus

Ical:

You want to use FFCal in an EA to keep it out of trades around news time? I have programmed that into an EA or two, and seen it work, but I feel like FFCal is a little bit fickle, so I am not sure I would trust it 100%.

I am quite busy these days, and haven't really much time to work on free projects, but perhaps if you send me the EA, I could put in some sample code so you could try it. Are you a programmer?

And here is the documentation that was embedded in the code.

The latest version of FFCal is here now in Post #1. I will try to keep it that way, so you can always have the latest.

I created such a tool long ago, but as a independent tool that can be minimized to tray and shows notifications about feature events. It is still working as I checked now.
