Market Hours API

Hi,

I think I would like to make a market hours Android Widget, but don't know how, from where to take the data.



The Widget is an part of an app which has changeable icon, image at your mobile desktop. Like when you see the "Jan 1" text changing to "Jan 2" icon for Calendar application, for example.

So, based on what Timezone has the user settings I would like to have an image similar to this. I know I can't have the Liquidity, because that is FF's data.
I can't use this either it would be to much communication overhead to take it from http://www.forexfactory.com/market.php source code.

There are something here: http://www.forexmarkethours.com/

Forex trading hours, Forex trading time:
New York opens at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST (EDT)
Tokyo opens at 7:00 pm to 4:00 am EST (EDT)
Sydney opens at 5:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (EDT)
London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT)

One problem is: those EDT sometimes has daylight saving somethimes no

The user maybe live in a country where isn't used at all the daylight difference.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

I am living i a country, where is used, but the switching it at another date when US has.

it will be very helpful , just yesterday I was looking for some some app for my android touch pad, but could not find any thing, one more thing if you are making such thing make sure u add more markets other then just major one.

Great idea, but fcking Google doesn't allow to publish payed apps from my country, nor In-App purchase, no Ads sdk. I am allowed to work only for reviews...

So the app will be free at the market.
Free work => meets my needs and may partner needs in best case...


IF you have a rooted phone and IF you edit a file, than you get rid off all of adds.

I have no ads in my phones at all - I did to save battery. => I will not charge the user, because I can't.


I wanted to add Frankfurt and Hongkong session.

Sometimes Frankfurt opens with 1 hour before London, sometimes not, at least some sites indicating that. This would be important for EUS/USD hazardous movements: 10-30 pip

Hong-kong open is 3-4 hours late after NY close, again it depends on daylight savings. That has sometimes USD/JPY spikes, 10-50 pip, sometimes nothing

What market would you like to see and why that one?



I don't believe in donations to pay my effort...at all. I have published already a few apps.

Also from 100 users, who download and use the app, around 1 will buy it for 1 usd.
To get development time payed need like 1000 user to pay 1$, and that need advertisements, which are other costs again.
When I have 200-400k downloads than in best case I have the development payed after all taxes. Take a look how many apps has over 100k downloads or 1k -2k payed app download.

Got an idea. I think I can implement it.

Edit: 9h later...


Missing a lot of features: add new markets and so on. It is just meets my needs, who else want something like this, which what features?

I think I did a better job, than Forex Factory development guys:

At me the user not need to change his DST, it is handled by software
