Any ideas about XML problems? why MT4 is getting all information without XML elements inside?

Try clearing the XML files from the experts/files folder.
I haven't tried to run my EA for a while, and I guess like people here, for some reason MT4 isn't reading the whole xml file. Interesting, I did what you said, cleared all the xml files, and opened the EA again, and it created a new xml file showing just the abbreviated date that's been showing in the EA, but then >>poof<<, it refreshed in the browser and showed the entire xml file of events. But even with that, the EA on the MT4 is still showing the short version missing data. If I could force the EA to reload the file in the expert folder, it would all be there, but I already know its a hassel to get MT4 to read anywhere except the files folder.

for those asking, I have made an EA using this data, but for the moment, its not working as as stated.

Its too late, and my brain is too drained to do anything else, but in the next couple days, maybe we can figure out what's happened with the xml reading bug.

Hello. Fx star,

Here is modified one, should work now.

Or use TSD one.

Cheers.
Looks like Jack already solved the problem. Thanks. I should have taken a look before my post below.

thanks again.

I found a bug in the code that reads the saved XML file. I also overhauled the logging function a bit.

Hi everyone... I'm using this very latest version by Euclid with my EA and after a few days it displays no news to filter but there is news to filter. The news is being displayed when the FFCal Indicator is put onto a chart on its own but my EA is not recognising the news. After I delete all the XML files and restart MT4 the EA then recognises the news.... is there a solution please? I'd like for this Indicator to be able to work without me having to "change it's nappies" every few days. Is my EA the problem now as maybe it's FFCal coding isn't up to date to work with Euclids latest FFCal update?
Any guidance is appreciated,
Tom
P.S Afternote: For the time being and time being indefinite I'm switching over to TSD. Forex Factory does have the most comprehensive news service and it's my first choice if a "fault free method" of avoiding the news can be provided. Respectfully, Tom.

I think I've seen the same problem. The downloaded file can sometimes get replaced with an empty file. I've added a check for this.

I've moved house recently and am using wireless internet and the previous FFCal wouldn't work properly on the wireless (can't download web page message or something like that) but was working OK on Cable Internet and VPS. This latest FFCal is now working OK on my wireless internet so something has definitely improved.
Thank you very much Euclid.

Hi guys,

I used euclid's FFCal, but stripped all the graphics and just assembled the date/event/pair to trade. I was using it in an ea that loaded a file and compared the date, then made a trade or not.

I deleted all the irrelevant code re: loading the file and trading, just leaving the part that gets the FFCal data necessary to make a trade so you'll have to add all your buy/sell, lots, etc code the way you want it.

If you want the screen to show all the news, just put the indicator back on the screen.

Not sure if this will be useable or not, but thought I'd throw it in the mix.

hmmm... guess I don't know how to upload a file. I used "Attachments" but it didn't show like the other files, it's just a label in the upper left corner. You can email me j dot bentz at jbentz dot net if you want the file.

The latest FFCal Indicator has been working well for a few days but unfortunately forgot to read the AUD High Impact news at 1:30 GMT... 27th April 2011. Same problem as before. I deleted the XML files from experts/files folder and the news then registered OK. The EA is fine I'm sure. It's the indicator. I apologise in advance if I'm wrong. I strongly believe this Indicator needs a complete overhaul. A lot of people use EAs and it would be very handy
Thanks for all the help,
Best regards,

I agree. It needs a complete rewrite. Which is what I did for my own use. Mine doesn't support EAs yet, but I'll do a version to support that for you.
