Hi, First I must apologize because it is not my indicator of course. This was made by derkwehler also. So "if you like my favorite indicator just grab and try". I just made it compatible for the new mt4. Anyway as I told it before this is a simplier one and this is working well with any EA because it shows only the upcoming news in the smallest size. This is why I like this indicator. If you want more lines it is possible but i think you should modify the other FFCal which can show more than 2 line basically. The structure of the code almost the...

You can use it like the old one. I didn't modify all the code. You should change the iCustom indicators name"FFCal" to "FFCal_mini_DailyFX nmc" and retype the structure. Like this: iCustom(NULL,0,"FFCal_mini_DailyFX nmc",true,true,false,true,true,0,true,-1,-1,true,false,false,4,true,6,DeepSkyBlue,Gray,Red,Orange,Khaki,2,false,false,1,0); iCustom(NULL,0,"FFCal_mini_DailyFX nmc",true,true,false,true,true,0,true,-1,-1,true,false,false,4,true,6,DeepSkyBlue,Gray,Red,Orange,Khaki,2,false,false,1,1);

Hi! Here is my modified version of the indicator. Please be aware that the code has been heavily modified to suit my needs (especially backtesting), so you can consider it almost a "fork" of the original. {image} Changes introduced are: Related Calencar functions externalized to library.
