First, I'd say: Many thanks for this great indi

i hope that i do not ask that much
* which website is your source for the csv? i need to know to double check if the CSV files are able to record the desired events.

* is there any way to speed up the indicator upon loading? it's slow... (no offense please)

regards

Have added the natty clock indicator to my MT4 arsenal (Lets hope they don't switch to MT5 now.) which obviates the need to count backwards on my fingers six hours, tho guess in your part of the world one counts forwards, which would make it easier.

Can't say I've made a single trade yet tho funded my $150 account and am waiting to have time to get there often enough to practice at 2:00 every day. Things have been a little excentric price-wise lately and usually take one look and decide to just read instead.

It takes a lot of discipline to do nothing but trade for 5 hours without sneaking off to read and missing chance to close in the money. Set-and-Forget is no use to me since it seems I'm never able to forget - unless it's something important.

Yes, Return certainly IS product of Knowledge, Implementation and Risk, and expect to be implementing shortly!

There is a time delay while the indy gathers the news data from its source. Its speed depends on your internet connection. Mine takes about 3-4 seconds.

To reduce how often this occurs, consider the following......

The indy gathers data only when you perform a manual refresh (i.e. attach or edit the indy, or change the chart's pair or timeframe). If you set RefreshEveryXMins to a value >= 0, then the consequent auto refresh will (1) update all of the plotted 'countdown' times; and (2) if you also use the parameter file facility, any changes likewise take effect on the next auto refresh. With an auto refresh, the data is not regathered, hence no wait time.

It's only necessary to perform a manual refresh (to regather and update the news event data) if the calendar at the source has changed. Of course it's catch-22 because we can't know this without actually doing it! Hence I perform a manual refresh every 3-4 hours, or when I'm considering the possibility of placing a trade. I have the news indy on its own separate chart, so that I can change pair or timeframe on my other 'analysis' charts without manually refreshing the indy.

* How often would the "auto" refresh be?

* And as for the source of the news please? If it is private, just say so

* Does the indi plot news if it doesn't receive a tick?

.....

Auto refresh is determined by the RefreshEveryXMins setting.
From post #1:

RefreshEveryXMins – this deletes, recalculates and re-plots all of the screen objects every X minutes.
-- A value of –1 means that this will occur only when the indicator is first attached, or a manual refresh takes place.
-- A value of 0 means an update occurs with every new tick.
-- A value of 1, 5, 15, 30, 60 or 240 means that an update occurs immediately a new M1, M5, M15, M30, H1 or H4 candle starts to form, regardless of the chart timeframe to which the indicator is attached.

This parameter has no bearing on when the news data is re-gathered from the web page, which only occurs when a manual refresh takes place (when you change time frames, edit the parameters, or re-attach the indicator).

* And as for the source of the news please? If it is private, just say so
It is private.
* Does the indi plot news if it doesn't receive a tick?
It replots on any manual refresh, and also on any auto refresh, which is determined by the RefreshEveryXMins setting - see my answer to your first question.

hanover, David

An amazing indicator - again.
I used your first News indi but stopped - I can't remember why: complicated, or the FF calendar changed or something.

But this one is so much better and easier. It does EXACTLY what one wants it to.

My only problem is being an ex4 I can't do my usual permanent customising of the parameters.

And your documentation is faultless.

Impressive...

Thank you very much indeed.

It's possible to do this using parameter file(s). This is explained in the 'PARAMETER FILE' section in post #1. Please feel welcome to post questions if this requires further clarification.

Many thanks for your kind comments.

Thanks, I know now!

I missed this reading up on Plot News (not paying attention) but understood when reading the introduction notes for your ,Recent SR,.

A ingenious way around this problem.

Thanks again for you excellent work

Hi I loaded Recent news on some charts for a few weeks now and its great but I have noticed a lot of High Impact events from other calendars only appear as Low Impact on the Recent News indi. For example today (6thJuly) CAD Building Permits (Mom) & US ISM Non-Manufacturing was only show as low impact whilst on ForexFactory calendar they are both Red high Impact.

The indicator simply plots whatever data (including impact - high/medium/low) is currently available from its news source. If data is incorrect or missing, that will be reflected in the plot. The source is NOT Forex Factory's calendar.

Whether the impact of an announcement is likely to be high, medium or low is largely a matter of opinion; even 'expert' commentators often disagree. Depending on the value announced, sometimes a 'low' impact event will cause a significant price spike; sometimes a 'high' impact event will hardly move price at all.

Note (May 25, 2010): Please take the opportunity to download this indicator while it's still available for free. I will soon be applying to become a commercial member.
I think it is not for free anymore.

The web address from which the indy retrieves its news data no longer exists. I'll write another news indy when I get some spare time, assuming I can find a suitable news source.

So I think now we can only see the news from ForexFactory & marking time manually on MT4.

Thank you for this great news indicator, Mr. Hanover.......

Why would you write another one if FFCal is already so completely perfected? Seems to me you should sell it. But like i say in recent post on Recent Strength, You better wait till I can Pay you. Plot_News working nicely thank you.

V 2.05 is an interim fix only. I will test it further during the coming weeks and post additional fixes in V 2.06, if necessary.

V 2.05 downloads the same news data from an alternative web address. Alas, this new gateway is restricted to news for the current week only; I will continue my search for a better source of news data.

For more info, and download files, please refer to post #1.
