FF Calendar Indicator for MT

FF removed that webpage address. My update version is here.

Another news feeder is here. Watch verticle lines which tell the time of news.
1. webget.dll go to libr... folder.
2. webget.mqh go to includ... folder.
3. forextsd_cal... go to indica... folder, don't use old one in zip.

Can someone from ForexFactory (perhaps Twee) confirm that this is the new and official news XML URL to use instead of http://cloud.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml? This seems no longer working.

Thanks
If it backtests good run it live!

I have no idea about tsd.
For the FF indi:
Close your MT4 platform and put FFCAL into your indicators folder of your MT4 platform. Then restart your MT4 and load the indi to your charts.

Hi everyone,
I'm using FFCal with my EA because it has in my opinion the best news coverage compared to the others. It has an issue or two. Yesterday as the afternoon news hit at 13:30 it opened up to trade for probably 15-30 sec and apparently to a programmer friend of mine it misses Speeches at times due to a day rollover issue (That's when your day rolls over from midnight to the next).

Quote: Hi All,

I mentioned already in my last update, "expert advisor"might miss out News Events while using the FFCAL Version on speeches. Today this this happened again while the FFCAL Indicator appears to have an issue on the daily rollover/file handling and might get/send wrong information passed a news event allowing "expert advisor" to trade. Main reason why I abandoned FFCAL prior.

Thus again, be careful while running any EA using a FFCAL based NewsFilter as the issue remains in the FFCAL Indicator itself.

Folks,

I have been noticing the FFCal failures since the week opened. I have several times notified Forex Factory via their Home Page input and via several emails to Twee at Forex Factory.

So far, I have had only one response from Twee, earlier this week, confirming that FF is working on their calendar, but no specifice. For a brief while, I found that by going back to the .xml call prior to the change after mid-2010, things started working again. However, apparently FF is still messing with the calendar coding because a day later our SonicR FFCal Headlines version of the indicator is displaying no information. The failure to complete the download is no longer a problem, but no information is being displayed. The FFCal indy here, does display information, but apparently you are seeing some problems with that information.

I have again sent via both methods, a request to FF/Twee to let me know what the dickens is going on! But so far all is silent on their end.
This indicator is a mish-mash of code from different people and is full of bugs and redundant code. Now I've added my own code to the mix to fix the latest issue.

nice one ,cheers
The current version wasn't working at all today. I put yours in good so far. Thanks Euclid!
Thanks Euclid but the rollover issue is still there. I'm in Australia and after 14:00 hours GMT the FFCal indicator stopped working for my EA totally. No news to filter even though it should be recognising it. Any ideas?

OK. Didn't know about that one. I'll have a look at it.
