{quote} It does not seem to work on build 625. New TimeGMT structure comes into conflict with the same named structure in the indicator. With simple name changes it is possible to get around the problem and compile it. I could not get the indicator to work after compilation on b.625 though. It fails to download data from FF. This system call to fetch data from website fails as debug mode shows: hInternet = InternetOpenUrlA(hSession(FALSE), strUrl, "0", 0, INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE | INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE | INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0); Has...

I downloaded the .ex4 file for the calendar, but when I add it to a chart I get the following error in my experts tab of the terminal: 2014.06.15 22:16:23.310 FFCal AUDUSD,H1: Can't open xml file: 6-13-2014-AUDUSD60-FFCal.xml. The last error is 4103 Is there something I'm not doing right here. I'm running version 4.00 build 646.

in the image attached below where the red circle is drawn why do these indicators have a black diamond beside them instead of an orange one like all the others? Does this mean anything?

I downloaded this version, made sure I had input the correct url to the xml file, and tried it as well to only get the same result.

I loaded it onto a chart again and made sure that Allow DLL imports was checked, Allow Web Updates was true, and IsEACall was false, and it loaded it then. I did notice that it created the file as well. If I switch Allow Web Updates to false and IsEACall to true, when I use an iCustom in my EA to call it the indicator fails to open the file even though it is there. Is this something with permissions on the file perhaps? Also, what is the proper structure of the iCustom? I'm currently using this: //---Function to check if it is news time-----------------------------...
