I've done some updates, mainly cosmetic.

 

  1. Fonts and default colours changed to improve readability (for me at least)
  2. You can now have multiple instances of the indicator on a chart to display different tables. Give each table a different title. Note Only one instance can have vertical lines enabled.
  3. You can now align to the bottom corners using (HorizAlign, VertAlign)

    Top Left = (1,1)
    Top Middle = (0,1)
    Top Right = (-1,1)
    Bottom Left = (1,-1)
    Bottom Middle = (0,-1)
    Bottom Right = (-1,-1)

It's really kind of you to go to all this trouble. Much obliged.

I can not seem to get the vertical lines to appear and I have set it to true and I use a black back ground like your screenshot.


Also how do I get the time to match my time zone.

Thanks for the indicator. Very Nice

I don't know what the problem is. Maybe you are using a time frame higher than 15mins. By default the vertical lines only show on lower time frames. You can change that setting.

It gets the time and time zone from your windows settings. Your windows clock has to be set to the correct time zone.

In the fine tradition of Hanover's (and the many others who are not forgotten) many extremely useful indicators very kindly made available to us for free on here (gladly appreciated in these formative years when many of us in the infancy of fx trading are largely subsisting on a diet of bread and water...lol), Euclid's news indicator surely ranks alongside, both for generosity of spirit and technical excellence.

To all of you, I wish you many happy years of good pipping.

First post updated with latest version.

I've added a beta of my breaking news indicator which displays the FF breaking news RSS feed. Also I've posted a blank window indicator, in case you don't have it, which can be used to place the indicators below the chart.

I think you may not have DLLs enabled. It is supposed to give a helpful error message for this, but that bit seems to be broken.

Anyway, make sure "Allow DLL imports" is ticked on the Common tab when you load the indicators.

Hi Euclid (Tim Morris) !

Great job compared with FFCal which doesn't look very nice at least on my charts, and has no breaking news either.

1. I was wondering if the fonts could be made small on both NewsCal and NewsBrk Indys (Aug 2012, v 1.03 and 0.04.) The fonts look like 12/14 and I need 8/10 size to reduce clutter.

2. Can the backgrounds be made transparent for other lines, text and indicators already on the chart? The NewsCal and NewsBrk table areas are transparent to the price candles, but the EMAs and other text is hidden (cut-off) if overlapping the table areas.

3. Also when using NarrowTable= true, the text is cut off horizontally, but the table is still the same size and thus hides overlapping indicators or text as above.

4. Can the list of news sites used be displayed, with the ability to click on the news scroll to get more details?

Feel free to reply to [email protected] directly (unluckily I unchecked the Receive Email box upon registration, so not sure if you can just send me email, or whether I would receive notification of any replies posted !)

Hi Euclid

Wonder if you have any suggestions. New Zealand clocks went forward an hour at the weekend for daylight savings. The calendar clock registers the time change, however, the news times are still an hour behind...which is strange. Not sure what to do.

Thanks for any assistance as I would really like to continue using this fine tool.

Ignore the above Euclid. Sorted out the problem which had nothing to do with your fine indicator but my clock software.
