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.

Now you can set ShowVertNews to true.

It should now display the vertical lines in the correct place provided you have live quotes coming in so that it can tell what the server time is.

Edit: I've updated it a bit more. Removed some old code that didn't do anything. Commented all my changes.

The attached version of FFCal was working great till the recent change in the location of the news xml file from "cloud" to "www".

I don't know how to modify it to work again. Can some experts here help make it work? I like this version because it allows alerts/email to be set and display on the charts are better with vertical discriptions and all.

Thanks

Can this indicator be configured to stop showing the currently released news on the vertical? The option in the box just removes the vertical news history.

Is anyone else getting the odd news over paint on the ffcal as well?
