FF News EA

Hi;

i want to release an EA which is using dll to fetch FF News; this version is beta and i am using it myself to keep overview. All kind of critic and bugs are welcome to be posted here:

You must put ffactory.dll into your windows\system\ directory to be found. I include a basic EA which is demostrating using this .dll. Please post all kind of modified EAs which are using this .dll here in this threat.

EA is very primitive, did not have too much time to make it more nice. Maybe someone has the time and posts here.

Dll needs permanent internet. Call lastfetchtime() to determine last fetched time to keep news up2date.

You must adjust the timezones to your servertime. Right now this settings are working for Turkey and UK. If you are located in other countries you must adjust them via parameters.

This dll can be used for news trading. It can be used to indicate news time on every currency.

In case no internet, fetchnews() function returns false. (this can be case if no internet).

All datetime responses are in unixtime format which is also mt4 format.

in timeperiod 0 means "today" and to access yesterdays news you must indicate it with -1.

I also include a screenshoot.

Dll can be downloaded at http://www.fx1.net/ffactory.dll


Responsibility: use this .dll in your own responsibility. I am not responsible for everything.

i'm looking the EA to trade on news: to get the breaking number, evaluate it and instantly open sell or buy position depending on severety impact, or just skip the trade if othing special is announced. Could your dll to do this job? I'd highly appreciate it could be doing that.

yes, its able todo it right code around the dll.


please such such init() on attached file. Since first time there will be no lastfetchtime; 0-localtimeshift-localtime will never be > 3600 (which is 1 hour). Or you can try:


this way it would start faster and update the news inside start().

Of course best would be to fetch on demand based on newstime but i noticed some news are announced before stated time.

i still dont understand how would it fetch ONLY
Actual Forecast Previous numbers and nothing else (some parsing should be there, plus delay tolerance calculation), also important - can i gain the code of the dll to ensure that it isn't "infected" with some malware-code

i ll not publish the source no. I published the dll just for beta test purphoses. newsactual(0,i) and newsforecast(0,i) gives you those information. Tolerances you must calculate yourself from parsed values. Attached EA is good example how to use this .dll inside MT4.

If you have the ability to read the source code of this dll, you should also have same ability to code it yourself. I can publish uninfected source but put infected .dll. So this is no solution.

it is a solution (you must consider that unknown compiled dlls are very dangerous and have to be open-source in this concern), since i asked for the source then i'm able to compile it. your reluctance to show the code makes your dll twice suspicious, if you are a master coder and restrict its modification and beta-check then why not to publish your dll in the commercial section
and thus clarify your intentions

jaya i stated that its not opensource its up2you to use it or not. Dont try to pressure with statements like in your post. This is simply lame

taskin, this is a warning of mine to other amateur users - not for you, - please dont use that dll on the computer with real account, or use it at your own risk, those unknown folks who are distributing compiled program-modules and refuse to open it's source code are in 99% cases malicious programmers: These file(s) contains viruses that will be activated when opened. These viruses will steal confidential information like passwords and credit card numbers. Your PC will also become a bot for sending
spam emails, which earns these malicious programmers a lot of money.
SPREAD THE WORD. BEWARE.

i've reported this thread to the admins.

anybody potentially interested in this EA should wait for and if any confirmation is released that it's safe to use.
