Try the solution in this post.

its work now after change the resolution to 100% but the text size in the laptop is so small i cant even read!! it showing the defult 125% in my PC..!!

you can change some of your text sizes by going into personalize.

right click desktop/personalize/window color/advanced appearance settings.

After you can set your browser zoom higher as well.

I use this for the tiny stuff; http://wandersick.blogspot.ca/p/aero...magnifier.html

I sit a bit far from my screens. My resolution is HD 1080p.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for that tip Ramy3.

For those using Win 7, I recommend an upgrade to Win XP

Hye,

Thx for sharing.

Btw this software didn't show the actual value after the results is out?

Thanks

Same results here.

I think its because there is no upcoming event.

ACTUAL DATA COLUMN

People keep asking for this, but it isn't possible.

FF decided not to offer an "actual" column in their data release, as their servers would get hammered; here's Merlin's original post.

I could write code to screen scrape FF homepage to detect when actual data is released, but it would still be overloading their server with hits, in a race to get the data and many users with same app would cause a DDoS attack.

Best way is to click [FX News Sites] and refresh FF every now and then to see actual data.

Nice handy little app. I havent read every post but would offer the following requests:

1. Seconds countdown after 1 min has passed
2. The result of the last event, rather than just defaulting to the next one.

I appreciate that 2. isnt exactly simple but it shouldnt prove too hard and would make the app much more useful (to me anyway). The FF calendar updates quick enough for me as I dont engage in spike trading but do trade news, so you can easily pick up the result from FF.

Sorry, I posted this before looking at the previous post, so my answer would be to add the result but wait a few seconds before doing so. Spike traders arent going to use this method of trading anyway and I doubt that there are going to be enough users to create a similar effect to a DDOS attack !!

1) Seconds countdown seems overkill.

2) It's not a mundane task to add result data. I'd have to screen scrape HTML to pick out the data, a tedious task. Also, i'd rather not bite the hand that feeds me; I'm using FF calendar but if i was to hit their server every x secs to get data, then i'd consider that bad form. It really is much easier to click the [Forex NEws Sites] at the bottom of the app and refresh every now and then.

If i had my own news feed from a premium service, than i could display actaul data - i don't, so i won't.

Again, the decision was made many moons ago by Merlin and FF admins to not include actual data. On the presumption it hasn't been changed since, then i can only assume that they worry about server loads @ news time; I do not want to compound that issue.

hth

Thanks for replying.

1. Not overkill for me
2. Quite understand

Thanks for a nice app anyway. Best of luck.

I had the recent news indicator in my charts but I noticed that it always throttles my laptop processor and wasnt comfortable with that at all.

The search was on again for an indicator that will tell me before hand of any news about to happen in the forex world and then I stumbled upon your software. This is the best as it can alert me before of any news.

Thanks a million mate. I really appreciate this so much

I am a relatively new tarder, ca. 13 months. I wanted to have smth like this, and I found it today! Thanks, will be trying how this works.

BTW: I have been working on my own EA which at present looks like in the attachment. But I am not a coder, just amateur, and I wrote this in simple mql4 using some third party dlls and it is not stable. I would like to have it as a stable version like a standalone app. Then I may share with anyone interested, but I need someone to code it!

what does the P:xx% and F:xx% replicate when i minimize it?? is it previous and future figures??

Thanks FiatFap for sharing such a great tool. Just discovered it ...

Awesome!

Been using this tool for a while, it's simple and works. Thanks!!

@Dadas
That's an achievable app using C#.NET, for example. Using 3rd party dll's wouldn't help if you don't know what's inside the code. I think this is overkill; you could handle all that stuff inside MT4 and have a bridge app to do perfunctory tasks like close trades et al.

@Ammeo
P:xx% and F:xx% are Previous and Forecast numbers

Thanks for the great comments, glad you find the app useful.
