Your page 1 "always current" file for download is all screwed up! It appears as an "attachment. php" and NOT a ".mq4" file!!!!!!!.....and cannot be added to the MT4 experts/indicators file in that state!

Please correct this situation so that those that want to download and install the .mq4 FFCal indicator can do so. Thank you.
You need to download it from the right hand attachments icon, its a known problem with FF.

I take this opportunity to congratulate all the guys that made this EA possible.

It is a software jewel. Congrats guys!

Moreover, it is a great example of the potential of open source software engineering! Look how it started and where it is now after all these iterations by volunteers.

Forex Factory is a great forum. The real quality of this forum is on it's people.

Thank you

It sure is in there. I will have think how the best way to parse it would be.

Inserted Code
        <div class="smallfont" style="padding-left: 11px;">German Retail Sales m/m</div>

<...other stuff...>

         <div class="smallfont"><span class="worse">-1.8%</span></div>
I respect the bandwidth of FF. I would only need the number after the event so I could easily code that part I think.

Thanks for the idea.
Hi,
I like to have that too. I need the value of http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php , NOT from "http://cloud.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml".
Any one has it ?

If getting from "http://cloud.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml" Not only we didn't have the actual value, but SOME other data will not be shown, or false. Example: At xml file : <title>ANZ Commodity Prices m/m</title> & LOW impact. But at "http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php" it is HIGH impact !! There are more other difference !!

Thanks.

Hi all, can someone help me please. Having saved the FFCal code, enabled DLL and final changes to Options in MT4, I get the following error message as an alert - "GetNewsFF Error - Web page download was not complete!" I must be near implementation as I get the coloured text in my charts, see below. Thanks in advance. Ezmai.

Hi guys

Is there any one using the FFCAL within an EA?
i am having issues with the time the EA is using to display the news, it seems to be referencing my PC time and not the actual time the news is being released.
Any tip on this will be well appreciated

cheers

I use experts on all my accounts. Some I coded myself and some we coded as a team. This is the only thing which was missing from my experts tool box.

No need to check my personal accounts just before the release anymore. This yet another reason for me to get even more lazy.

Hello all:

See Post #1 to download the latest version.

Normally I do not follow this thread anymore, as I simply no longer have time to donate to this project. However, now I have made one small change, because I so often hear of people whose calendar times are off, usually by 60 minutes, and usually either because they live somewhere that does not change their clocks (use DST), or some other odd problem. Sometimes it is because their computer is not updated correctly to account for when the clocks get set back/forward (which was changed a few...

The indi will show the news applicable to the chart of pair that you pulled it on. EUR/USD chart will only show EUR/USD news, GBP/JPY chart will only show GBP/JPY.

Might have to do with your firewall settings that the idi can not connect to the web trough your MT4 station.

i am having this same problem, and checked my firewall settings, which i have set to allow access and still having the problem.

Wonder if it has something to do with running mt4 on vista?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

FFCalH.mq4, for an EA call, if the last event of the week passed 10 minutes, this call returns "99999", instead of 10 minutes.


int minutesSincePrevEvent =
iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 0);


minutesSincePrevEvent <- 99999
