FXNewsAlert ver2 - Metatrader on steroids

@traderfx93
If you insert a horizontal line on any chart and change it's width, then try the MT4Objects button again, it should work. The reason you get the error is because the line object doesn't exist in your terminals config file, changing the width force its creation in the file system of MT4.

I'm currently building the next release that will handle bugs people have reported and i've completely re-designed the interface that will make the app much more sleeker and powerful.

Also noticed a bank rates error today, so i'm aware of that bug and it's already fixed for the next release coming soon...

Thanks for all those who have signed up for testing, your support and kind words encourage me to continue the project.

Hi FF,

Just loaded up your software, logged in via your timely email (with login details) and really like what I see!

Needless to say I think it is going to become very popular and useful to say the least.

I will get back to you with any additional bugs that turn up (if they do) apart from the ones that you already know about.

Out of interest how far away is the next version of the software?

Great effort really nice work.

Hey Fiat,

You must be one hell of a programmer to create an app like this! I'm a programmer too but probably not as good as you.

I've sent you an e-mail requesting login info, and I look forward to joining you in the testing.

Really nice work and a big thank you!!!

Thanks Smash1820, you're making me blush

Commercial content

I've been thrown into the depths of hell that is called commercial content and had all my vouches removed and ALL my threads moved to this dark corner! I've asked FF why and haven't received any response, so i thought it best to clarify that I'm still here, the app is still free and all I've ever done is to try to help people.

To be honest, it's knocked the wind out of my sails but I'm a stubborn bastard, so I'll persevere.

Here's are some screenshots of the next release...coming very soon; features include:-

1. Easier to install and configure
2. Cleaner interface
3. Signals Tool
4. Watch currencies against a back-drop of multiple tools, all within one window!

Hi,
Amazing app. I am very keen to use it. Can I have the login details.

Thanks

I am getting this when I want to visit your site...

Send me your email on the feedback form, so i can send you a password, thanks.

That doesn't look good! Can you post the info when you click "Security summary for this web site"; I can assure you, there's nothing 'harmful' on the site, except my analysis in the blog.

FXNA :: Take-down notice

I've had a numpty in America threaten me with a DMCA take-down notice as he thinks I've infringed on his claimed copyright of "Forex currency momentum", yep he thinks he owns the copyright to currency momentum! This is like someone issuing you threats if you post a EURUSD chart and they claim copyright on candlesticks; it's an asinine and baseless claim from someone who feels threatened by innovation.

I think this is the reason why i've been dumped into the commercial section and had all my vouches removed as he probably issued a DMCA notice to FF and without even my right-to-reply, they've been complicit and hid my content from the 'normal' forums. It looks like he may have also sent my url to these virus sites to flag my site as 'harmful', in an attempt to limit my exposure.

You can see his phony spam entries @ forex peace army, but there's an interesting post by Steve Fleming that shows how the owner of the site in question thinks he can just issue DMCA's like candy in a playground without validity nor veracity.

FXNewsAlert - News & momentum

To expand on A1Cruiser's post, i've done some research and you can check if websites are malicious using virustool, the result of the check is here.

I then used Zulu URL Risk Analyzer to get further details and found that the Zscaler IP Reputation states:


So the numpty may have flagged my url, but the phishing heuristics states "Not a phishing page" and shows there's no obfuscated javascript, so the site is not harmful nor malicious.

Screenshots (version 2.1.0...coming soon)

Looking forward to the next version - the last one crashed on win7 constantly for me so I stopped running it.

Incidentally, all the frustrated news traders who are losing their asses using NewsGun or SNW for spikes or henry lius CNT or Amazing EA for straddles, dont worry there is hope yet to trade news. Check out http://www.fxjust.com/forex you can thank me later.

"crashed on win7 constantly" - why, what error messages did you get?

Hi FiatFap,

Something good happened: I tried again to reach your site and there is no problem anymore, I got fxnewsalert without any alert.
Many thanks!

Thanks for the update, much appreciated.

I contacted them as admin from my site and F-Secure's support is excellent as they changed the status after checking site.

F-Secure - Check browsing protection

I just ran it again because I hadnt tried in quite a while so Im not even sure what version I have, but now it wont even display. It runs and sits in my task bar after flashing briefly...very weird, I will try to reinstall the latest. My point was that I am looking *forward* to the new version

It's not so much 'momentum' he thinks he owns the rights to, it's the terms 'forex' and 'heatmap' and
any and all combinations of them.

Good luck with the software... it looks pretty cool.

Curious as to why FF have switched you to commercial though. Do you have plans to charge at
some later date?

Steve

Hi FiatFap,

Just downloaded the app on windows 7. Excited to try it out. Pending my account creation. I will let you know of any bugs I encounter. Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much!
April

ForexFactory have done the following to my account:

1. ALL my threads moved to the commercial section
2. All my vouches have been deleted
3. My posting privileges have been revoked (i can only post in the commercial section)
4. Can't send private messages
5. Content / posts have been deleted

How does that make me feel ....

I have to give Twee respect for taking the time to email me after i sent many, many requests for clarification from FF and he said i was 'too commercial' even though i'm not selling anything, but why delete all my vouches and disable my posting privileges. I suspect there's a hidden agenda and it's taken one person issuing a DMCA request for them to comply without my right-to-reply. Here's my momentum tool and his version and here's various column bars publicly posted before 2009 (prior art), this one looks particularly relevant!

However, this is all inconsequential because he only has a registered trademark and not a registered design, which are two different forms of intellectual property and even then you need to file for territorial jurisdiction. Steve, you stated "...he owns the rights to, it's the terms 'forex' and 'heatmap' and any and all combinations of them", that's not how trademarks work, you can't register a few words and have generic copyright over any derivative.

He's threatening my ISP to remove content off my site, it's ridiculous and his claim to the copyright of 'forex currency momentum' is delusory and deceitful. I would love for him to have the balls to issue a court action and i'd go all the way to stand my ground and seek punitive damages for defamation and the DMCA provides for damages and attorney’s fees for “any person who knowingly materially misrepresents” the facts in a takedown notice...which he has. I might post the email exchanges to expose his facade, so other developers can understand their inherent right of innovative freedom of expression.

However, he's full of huff and puff and i'll call his bluff; he's pissed up the wrong tree.

So that's why i've been black-listed into the dark corners of FF even though i've developed and hosted the app for free for over two years - one person has issued a deceitful DMCA and FF then deleted all my content under the pretense i'm too commercial! It's pathetic really and all the work and content i've contributed to FF has been banished, so i've been kicked in the nuts and had the wind knocked out my sails.

If you're reading this, what would you do? Would you have the heart to carry on developing a free app for the community? Would you have the altruism to post mq4 indies for free? Could you even be bothered posting in forums who exercise despotic policies which vilify their very user-base that brings them google back-links and ad revenue?

Edit: i suspect this post will be deleted

Regardless of the above post, here's ver 3.
