I Have A Road Map How To Realize It ...
We Want To Join The DAILYFX.COM Calendar With Our (Hanovers) News Plot !!!



1st Step To Join DAILYFX With Our FF Calendar :

WE NEED TO CHECK WHICH INDICATORS ARE (FROM THE FF CALENDAR & DAILY FX) THE SAME ???

To verifying it we only need to compare which indicators DAILY FX have - and FF not !!! To realizing this we don`t need much more than the data of this actuality month ...

CSV-Data from the 28th September 2008 until 3rd October 2008

CSV-Data from the 21st September 2008 until the 27th September 2008

CSV-Data from the 14th September 2008 until the 20th September 2008

CSV-Data from the 07th September 2008 until the 13th September 2008

CSV-Data from the 31st August 2008 until the 6th September 2008

To Complete The 1st Step Someone Should Compare All Individual Indicators With The Ones In Our FF Calendar !!!

Stay Only On Focus Of The Different Indicator Names !!! Don`t Get A Fool - Of Wording Play Like "Going" & "Walking" - Or Let Me Better Explain "Cash Rate" Or "Interest Rates" !!! I Think Everybody Know What I am Meaning In This Case, In This Scenario, In Our 1st Step ...



2nd Step To Join DAILYFX With Our FF Calendar :

IF WE HAVE AN INDICATOR LIST WHICH AN OVERVIEW ABOUT ALL NEW INDICATORS WE NEED THE HISTORICAL DATA OF COURSE !!!

To verifying it we only need to download the historical DAILY FX Calendars - week by week (and year by year) !!! To realizing this we don`t need much more than the .csv or .xls data of the appropriating week ...



3rd Step To Join DAILYFX With Our FF Calendar :

IF WE HAVE AN INDICATOR LIST WHICH AN OVERVIEW ABOUT ALL NEW INDICATORS (AND THE HISTORICAL DATA OF COURSE) WE WILL CONTACT THE FOREXFACTORY TEAM WHICH ARE SUPPORTING THE FF CALENDAR !!!

We will give their our new indicator list (even with the historical data) and tell them that they should integrate OUR NEW INDICATOR LIST (EVEN WITH THE HISTORICAL DATA) in the Forex Factory Calendar ...

To Actualize The New Indicators (From DAILYFX.COM) Will Be The Job Of The Responsible Person/Administrator Which Are Even Actualizing The Forex Factory Calendar Yet !!!

If i can i will download all historical Data from DAILYFX.COM in the next 24h !!!
I contacted the DAILYFX.COM Team and they answered me that they had DAILYFX.COM CALENDAR DATA since 2006 (even like FOREXFACTORY) too ...

The Point Is That I am Have Doing This Manuel - Even Week By Week Even Year By Year !!!
But I am Thinking That This Should Be Worthwile Too ...


Perhaps Could You jhp2025, you hanover, you jokokendil, you brucewhain or someone else realizing the 1st Step meanwhile !? ?! !?

So We Could Realizing To Join The DAILYFX.COM Calendar With Our (Hanovers) News Plot Faster As We Are Thinkin Right Here Right Now !!!

Sorry guys, but like I said back in post #466, I'm too busy to get involved in this project. IMHO, the FF calendar includes all of the major news announcements that are likely to trigger price movement. I don't see the need to look elsewhere.

Thanks for your contribution, though.

Can you please help with the trend indicator which is shown in this chart. Thank you in advance.
Smknyc, not sure which "trend" indicator you mean:

Window #1 = stochastic(5,3,3)
Window #2 = MACD(12,26,9)
Window #3 = Bollinger band width(20,2,50,75)

All are attached below...........

Hi David,

What daily pivot indicator are you using that displays unique numbers for each day and then shifts on the daily crossover (or week, or 4H or ...)?
Your display has some horizontal lines and then shifts on the crossover bar to a new level. If this isn't daily pivot, is it some other MTF indicator?

Thanks,
Kent

Kent, assuming you're referring to the lines in Window #0 in post #438, they are daily pivot levels, and can be downloaded from post #2 here.

sorry to interrupt but because bb is calculated using std dev, isn't that basically std dev * 2?

Mikkom, the indicator's second parameter is the number of std devs, i.e. 2. So it assumes the upper and lower BB boundaries are each drawn 2 std devs above and below the median line, respectively. The width given by this indicator is the number of pips between the upper and lower boundary.

For those who think about the impact of news on the forex markets, here's a decent timely video to check out:

http://www.pfxglobal.com/forex-video...ts-matter.html

Here's a brief outline about the video:
============

NFP vs ADP: Do the labor reports matter? by John Jagerson

This is a good topic for traders to think about this week as we prep for the ADP and NFP report on Wednesday and Friday. Since we first featured this video, you can see how the report has continued to "meet expectations."

If you ask most forex "educators" about the most important economic announcements each month the one that will inevitably be listed at the top is the NFP or "non farms" payroll report. This report shows the net gain or loss in jobs in the US. If the economy is expanding it will show a net gain. Likewise, if the number is negative jobs are being lost and the economy is contracting.

The problem with the NFP report is largely statistical. The sample size prevents readings as accurate as traders may think. In fact, to get to a 90% confidence level the statistical "error" is increased to + or - 430K jobs. That is a very large range and renders estimates largely meaningless. However, this does not stop traders from worrying about the report and reacting to it. This reaction is more useful when it is applied to markets that are more sensitive to risk. For example, the report has more forecasting value for equities or the USD/JPY than other less volatile markets.

In today's video we will start our discussion on the NFP report and its sister report from ADP. Both of these are due this week and are likely to be a big topic of discussion among traders and the press.

Hi David and all others,
Please let me place a minor modification on our PlotNews as we can look at the image below which shows us the D, H, and M rather than in total Minutes.
It ease us to read the countdown time to the upcoming news, as well as when it reaches less than 24H, then the Year-Date disappear automatically.
Hope you all guys like it.

Hanover,

Many thanks for this excellent tool. Gives you a real sense of 'trading with the lights on'!

I was wondering if you had got anywhere with your 'News Composite Indicator' add-on. This also looks very interesting. Are you intending to progress that?

MM8, thanks for the feedback.

Migrating the indicator to another platform would necessitate a significant amount of work, including (for me) learning how to use a new programming language/tools.

I've not released the Clarion source code for the FFcal.EXE component, so it's unlikely that anybody else has attempted this either.

So I'm afraid it's restricted to MT4, at least for the moment.

Simply add the indicator to the chart check the Allow DLL Imports. I don't get it why clutter the chart with so much crap all you need is the simple news indicator. IMHO

FXMajors,

1. What is your source of news information?

2. What settings should I use to have your indicator display the CAD Core Retail sales, AUD CPI q/q, NZD Official Cash rate, USD Crude Oil inventories, etc, etc? (In the screenshot below, I've set 'total_in_list' = 200)

3. How do you deal with the situation where multiple news announcements are released at the same time, without the texts overwriting each other?

4. Is it possible to move the text up/down so that it doesn't obscure the price candles?

5. Can you write a brief explanation as to what each parameter does?

Thanks,
David
