What does the newsfeed do, exactly? I don't note anything different in this script from the last version (other than the title and the change in variables in the setup.)

DislikedThis sucks.... ! Four News Items..all at the same time... and not even a move!
I set up the USD/JPY to trade 8 mini lots and left to go to the store.
Came back and the chart looks like it took a nap.
Oh Well...wanted to see this script "Do It's Thing".
Have to wait until the Friday morning News now.Ignored

FINALLY was able to get a trade to work. Made some $$$$$.
EUR/$ Core CPE plus Personal Spending Report.
I set the MaxSpread to 20 so I would not get aborted for not having a wide enough spread. TP 30, SL 20, Trail Stop 10.
Great script, now I need to work with it a little to fine tune the settings for each different news release.Ignored
Dislikedhi BK. thanks for the straddle!!! ill try it out next week.
I was wondering if there is a manual override for the news time. Yesterday, news that was set to come out at 7:30 (my time ) actually came out a couple of minutes earlier. (around 7:28 my time).
If i knew that the news would be coming out at 7:28 a minute before (say 7:27) is there a way to one click change the news time?
thanks again for the wonderful straddle.Ignored
DislikedI just set it for 8,8,8. I will need to experiment with this. I think the Default of all 5's will get you whipsawed and going the wrong way.
Here is what I use for my guidelines.Ignored
DislikedCame out earlier? Now thats wierd... I have it exactly occuring 8:30:00AM EST.
Ensure your clock is FULLY sync with a world time! Have I not fully mentioned this over and and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over?
But of course some news CAN come it early or late and this is why NewsTime can be set with resolution of a second as shown on the 1st page 6:45:05PM if you think news will come late or 8:29:30 if news will come early... But honestly, HOW can you tell that news WILL come in early or late???? Knowing this is as good as knowing the actual data to come out...Ignored
DislikedMT4 does not allow setting SL if the price is near the TP... I programmed the Trailing Stop function to "push" the TakeProfit away if the price is near the TP. In a way this is good because you can get more PIPs. But this may be bad as Trailing Stop would prevent price from hitting the TP. Therefore, once Script has moved the SL to your comfort level you can immediately abort and let price hits TP.
Hmm... I think Trailing Stop should stop Trailing once Price is near TP...?? Your feedback is appreciated hereIgnored
DislikedMy final intension for the NewsFeed is to provide the trader with "Deviation" indicator such that:
1) Trader has the information to decide and "delete" the orders immediately after the news, or let the Script do so, OR
2) should the deviation be a big surprise, have the Script to move the TP further away for bigger profit.
It seems that the initial NewsFeed integration "SUCK" because it slows down the script considerably to many users.
I am thinking of separating the NewsFeed logic into another script/EA/Indicator. This 2nd script could be made to run separately and independently from the BurgerStraddleScript.
1. I can make the NewsFeed to fetch news alone. or
2. Make it remove pending orders, change TP, or
3. simply fetch news, but pass the data back to BurgerStraddleScript and let the latter decide what to do with the deviation.
My thought is for the NewsFeed program to be of "less maintenance". As less maintenance, it should do only the simplest logic, fetching the news, nothing more. This way, you can have it running (as EA or Indicator) and leave it forever. Reviewing the FFCal done by Derkweis, I came up with my version as shown attached but more "bandwith" friendly than FFCal.
For the actual result, I cant rent a BB feed nor will I be allowed by BB to "republish" their Data. I do have TTN; perhaps I can decypher the TTN protocol and fetch the news from them, put the data onto a 3rd party website just to host these data (FF is currently bogged down during news), and the NewsFeed Indicator to fetch it from there..Ignored
DislikedIs anyone else having problems opening this script? I downloaded it from post #1 - unless I'm doing something wrong it doesn't want to work.
Thanks for any ideas.Ignored
DislikedHello there!
3. Once NewsTime elapsed, it will delete everything should nothing happens. Or delete the order that is not filled. If TrailingStops is set, it will trail the filled orders.
To disable Trailing Stop functionality, simply set:
* SecTrailingTime to 0, or
* TrailingStop1 (or TrailingStop2) to 0, or
* TrailingStop1 (or TrailingStop2) to extremely large numbersIgnored
