Eulid,

Seems to work but I found messages as the Indicator was being loaded:

2011.03.04 07:08:36 FFCalH: cannot delete file Crogram FilesFxPro - MetaTraderexpertsfiles3-4-2011-USDCHF60-FFCal.xml

That's one of the bugs in the original program. You can ignore that message. It's just trying to delete a file that isn't there.

Euclids FFCal fix is a little more rock solid and is the one I'm using on my real account. Both positive days and euclids versions didn't recognise NFP after it happened. I think it's not a problem with the indicators but rather with the forex Factory Calendar web site itself. There was a data overload for a little while. Even the calendar clock was registering the wrong time even though I set properly. I hope they sort it out.

Edit (after note): Thanks Euclid, very appreciated.

There are problems with calling the indicator from an EA. This version might improve it. I don't really have time to test EA calls properly.

 

  1. ShowVertLines now switches on/off vertical lines on current bar as well as historic bars
  2. Fixed bug where old objects are not always cleared
  3. SaveXmlFiles default changed to true to stop indicator downloading every time it is started - should improve iCustom call performance
  4. Fixed bug that meant it did not always read the whole XML file
  5. Increased maximum number of events

Is anyone else getting a black/Brown ( near ) vertical line appearing between the current and previous candles?

It is not on all pairs though. From the ones I am using I have the line on EU, UC, EG, GU, EC

UPDATE.

This issue appears to be intermittent, as the black/brown vertical line has not appeared today on any of my pairs.

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

Another news feeder is here. Watch verticle lines which tell the time of news.
Hi Jack,

I like your FFCal_allNewsCharts. However it was not working for the pass two weeks, are you able to revive it!

Thanks

I have been using Euclid's version for a few days and it has been working well (thanks Euclid). Now I am getting an error 'NO CONNECTION to broker'. Is this a temporary problem or is it broken?

Thanks,

Keith

"News Indicator is disabled because NO CONNECTION to Broker!"

That's a rather misleading error message because the indicator isn't disabled. When you load the indicator, if there is no connection you get this message. As soon as you get a connection, it should work normally.

I don't think we need this message. Maybe I'll delete it, or change it to:
"Waiting for connection (Nothing to worry about)"

Hello euclid,

Your updated version doesn't seem to be working either.

This is the error:
"Web page download was not complete!"
"empty string parameter for FileWriteString function"

Generated because it can not find the </weeklyevents> xml tag. Why? Because the generated XML file is empty.

I believe this is an issue with the GrabWeb() function.

Euclid,

The version FFCalH still works well. Thanks Euclid.
For those havng trouble, you may try FFCalH. Euclid did a great job modifying the codes to make it work for me.

hi

all indicators based on FFCal and it self not working to me.
I allways getting web download not complete error.
Have checked code and data source and found that there is no </weeklyevents> at the end, and any other XML tags.

what problem can be here?

update
strange. I see full xml on IE, but no XML on Chrome. how that can be related to MT4 indicators?

post update - I see there is report of same issue page ago.

I'm having a strange problem with Euclid's FFCal - it works on every time frame except M15 (nothing in the journal). Before I start trawling through the code, has anybody else experienced this?
I've removed the indicator, removed all other indicators, restarted MT4, added it to fresh charts etc but the problem remains.

Try clearing the XML files from the experts/files folder.

hi all im hoping since it looks like some here are taking requests , that someone would be able to strip it down for me so that i can plug it into an existing EA of mine, and basically call a function that returns Yes or No, there is news within X minutes ?

I assume its a simple one, i just dont have time right now if anyone has it or is able to whip it up id much appreciate

thx

I saw your other post on this - I am looking at integrating FFCal into an EA without using iCustom so I'll let you know if I get anywhere.
