FF Calendar Indicator for MT

Thanks Mate, but no avail. It was working until about a week ago and it simply changed. I use the Alpari in Russia, IBFX in Utah, and FXDD in NY, and all were pulling in the correct times. May have to wait until the the real diggers take a peek. I'll keep looking though.....

Can anyone here help convert this indicator to pull data from another website ? Im trying to pull data worldwide stock index data into MT because it can be used to help determine direction of currencys.

The data I want is here

http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks/wei.html

http://finance.yahoo.com/intlindices?e=asia

This would be a great tool help determine the direction of the currencys at various times of day.. for example during the asian session if the NIKKEI is getting stronger the JPY will follow suit against its crosses.

This would be a fundamental indicator rather than a simple techinical(math) indicator.

I have tried for the past two weeks to get this working but I cant seem to pull the correct data into from the table into MT... any help is apprieciated... Thanks
Keep it simple stoopid....

This great indicator has just stopped working, as has it with a number of my friends just recently after having used it for the last 6 months. I dont know if anyone else has had the same experience and if their is a fix to the problem. The indicator is displayed but the veritical alert text is not put on the chart. Also if there is a revision 16 could someone post it for me for download. I am using rev 14 and maybe 16 will fix the problem.

Thanks you so much for the latest version 16 of FFCAL. Frenchtrader, you have been a lifesaver. I dont mean to make such a deal over a non-technical indicator, but I really missed it when it stopped working. It now seems to be working. I will need to wait for the next day to see if it properly puts on the announcment warnings. Are you still having problems? All I did was delete the old FFCAL and attach the new one, check the DLL box and it worked.

On some of my charts there is a solid black line that sits right behind the current bar and follows the price action.

Does anyone know how to get rid of that line?

Not sure why it is on some charts but not others?

I have "show vertical news" set to false.

Hello, Any idea why i see the previous news that have already passed instead of new ones. I am using this indicator with default setting. Please let me know how to fix this issue. Thanks. KAR

Kar,
It doesn't matter.

If their are two releases close together, I think it changes??

Look at GBP/USD right now.

Wow, what a nice indicator, well done guys.

Can I add some suggestions for future changes :

- the ability to not display the "Title", or the "Previous" lines
- to colour code the "Impact" line as per on FF, ie Red, Orange or Yellow

so maybe those that just want to know when the report is due and what the Forecast is will save some screen space and the colours align with FF

Also, does it add the "actual" when the news is released ? How long does the Last report details remain on-screen, is this configurable ?

Finally, the ability to only display the next report when it is say within x mins. eg, 60 mins, otherwise it is left blank until then

It will definitely matter. What would i do with the news that has already passed. I need incoming news not the ones that have already gone. Please tell me if you know how to fix it. Thanks, -KAR

The line is gone on all charts now except for USDCHF?

Can't work out why

Thanks for the compliments on the indicator. It provides great hands free info. However the author Derk Wehler is the originator at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=19293

He has done some great sophisticated work in developing this indicator along with the many others who contributed to where it is now in its current form.

Note: The announcements are displayed at a time which is controlled by the user, so you can decide if you want a alert 1 or 2 minutes before the announcement and also you can have all announcements displayed on your chart hours before they occur. Just play around with the settings until you get what you want. If you want to look at the comments and detailed information what the input parameters refer to, open up the indicator in Metaeditor and read the comments. They are pretty self explanatory.

Good day all:

With the generous cooperation of the folks at ForexFactory, I have created an indicator which will tell you how many minutes till the next relevant news event (or two). Normally I peruse the Yahoo MetaTrader_Experts_and_Indicators group, where this has already been posted. But it's only proper that it be posted here as well.

Hello, I can not see the next incoming news. What i see is the news which have already passed. Any idea what this problem is and how to fix it? Thanks, KAR

Hello all:

Due to other pressing matters (such as rent), I terminated my support of FFCal last year. Although I am still not in any position to support it, a contemporary has found a major bug with un-allocated memory.

Therefore, I thought I should at least update this thread with the latest version. I hope Merlin and friends are still maintaining the page which FFCal uses to read events. I have not been using it in any fashion, so I have no idea. But I hope the current version will fix problems some have had with it crashing the platform, etc.

Best to all,
-Derk
