Its actually a fairly serious problem as FF says there are 3 affecting the JPY when in fact there are 5.

This has big implications for any EA that uses FFCal indicator.

So, be careful.
Yes, I have seen and pointed out several instances where the FF calendar was incomplete or wrong. I have been checking against DailyFX as well and also My news wires give me a great calendar as does Oanda.

If i were relying on an MT4 Robot that uses FFCal to trade a live account then i would be asking FF where they get their information from ASAP!!!

For safety reasons you should set High=True, Medium=True, Low=True if calling from other EA's.

Scoobs has just pointed out that the robot has a problem with the news filter code that could impact on tonight's trading - FF has the news listed as low level when it is actually medium level. We should not be trading live tonight.

Turn off your live robots now and re-download the fixed 1.9 from post 1.

Sorry about this.

Just had to have a toto earlier. I was watching the indicator on H1 & M15 charts before the start monitoring time. Looked so good so I played & sure enough a basket was taken. Had to go sort out the cat that runs us humans here & came back to that "... has hit upl & is being closed screen.
Gave me a +233 basket.

Reset my properties and all running good. Now a line pops up replacing the normal comments with "Trading suspended because of news item", all well & good, but then it goes away & back then away ...
Would the ea be looking to trade just while that news comment is replaced by the normal
BaseLot size...
RS Group...
Max Spread...
down to
Selling/Buying hour starts...


I have hit the big stop the ea button. So got X instead of smilie in the corner.
Will load up the v1.9 the 2nd.

Nice one, scalpz.

I had tried to cut down the robot's processor footprint by limiting its calls to FFCal to one a minute. That this allowed the robot to bypass the news filter only showed up whilst it was awaiting the news events described earlier - hence the flashing screen as the robot displayed first one set of info then another.

Sorry guys, really sorry but the fix for this is essential and is in post 1. Typical example of me trying to be too clever.

I'm getting a constant " Sleeping for 1 minute to give time to initialize" message that doesn't turn off. How do I fix that? Thanks, Delage

I hadn't updated mine and it took a basket which just hit TP, a very sound trading methodology. Cheers Steve , scoob et al!

The index on each chart is only for your visual. If you set the M15 indicator properties to 90 50 & 10 lines only and set the H1 indi to 70 50 & 30 lines only, does it look any closer to having crossed?

To be honest I don't think there is a substitute for a human looking through the news and judging their impact. I mean OK it can be done by a machine but it's way too complex for us to implement. So I suggest use the current FF news filter in the EA but don't rely solely on it, especially if you trade any serious money live. I mean come on, automation is good but lets keep it real, shall we? worth using our brain a bit or it will die fast...

Just my 2 pips.
