Heres a halt manager based on this indicator :

-Open a new chart , this will be always open and used to pass the news feed to the reader indicators.
-Attach (indicator) NewsCal-107 to chart , dont change the default settings.
-Attach (expert advisor) newsCal107_reader to the chart:
Adjust your desired settings at this step(for the EA , do not alter the indicator) . In the event of news calendar crashing , everything will be automatically reloaded using default settings.Your settings will be fed from files based on the adjustments on this step.
-Save the template as "Wnews"

Thats it , you have a chart that feeds halt instructions into files.
You can read these instructions using the indicator Pull_Halts.
You call it with iCustom :
int halt_type=iCustom(NULL,0,"Pull_Halts","EUR","USD",0,0);
(enter the currencies you want to check for news halts.(ideally the pair))

Halt Types :
Halt Type -> 0 , no news present within the times specified in semi halt before and full halt before
Halt Type -> 1 , semi halt is active (we are between semi halt before and semi halt after times )
Halt Type -> 2 , full halt is active (we are between full halt before and full halt after times )

I used the 2 halt values like this .
On semi halts , my EA does not open any new trades.
On full halts , all orders are closed or hedged.

thanks euclid for this indicator. It works fine (only after reading other comments - 'allow DDL imports').

Wish you all the best!

Euclid,

I'm a great fan of your NewsCal-v107. Always on chart!

I am experiencing an error since few days. It shows in the dashboard an error at the bottom (File Sharing Error). As there's no source code here I am not able to find which situation is giving this error.

The indicator works perfectly for some time then the error shows. I have to reload it to make it disappear ... then back again after some time.

Also the error is only on my Windows 8-64bit ... No error showing on Vista.

Do you have any idea about this ?

Thank you for your help.

I started seeing this a while ago from build 625. I thought it was just me. It's already fixed. I've uploaded the latest updates in post 1.

I've also added the option to NewsBrk to turn off the background.

Hi Euclid,

Great work! Anyone who goes the extra length to produce such great tools, freely, out of their own good will, is deserving of my respect and gratitude. Thank you!
That being said, I am experiencing some difficulties with the installation of these indicators.

I am using MT4 ver: 4.00 Build 745 (24 Oct 2014) from www.myfxchoice.com
The account I am using is a live account.
I copied the 3 indicators from page 1 (1.07b) in [Data Folder]\MQL4\Indicators
The only default properties I changed were the positioning properties and TableLookBackHrs = 72 in both indicators.

I am a retired Oracle/VB programmer analyst just to let you know that I am not a total rookie in programming, but i have to say that MQL Language is not one I have learned yet, although it looks like a derivative of C to me.

But try as I may, I keep getting the same set of errors which you can see in the attached png file. I think I read every post in this thread and have noticed that many of you have an earlier version of the indicators.

I tried to remove the indis then delete their pertinent global variables and reload the indis. Same errors!

When I look at the [Data Folder]\MQL4\Files, I do not see the xml file that was mentionned in an earlier post.

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

I really appreciate your help

Daniel

As a follow up troubleshooting note, I do not have a folder [Data folder]\MQL4\Experts\Files.

I have [Data folder]\MQL4\Files and
[Data folder]\experts which has no \files folder, only \libraries

Should I create such \files folder and where?

TY in advance

The problem is with the download. It's not connecting to the URL. Ignore the file error, that's just because it hasn't saved any files yet.

Look for firewall or proxy problems etc. If you use a proxy, then make sure you can reach forexfactory.com using internet explorer.

Euclid, you hit it on the nail. I have not used Internet Explorer for months - was using Chrome, Maxthon, Firefox.
Turns out it was all screwed up and could not log in to anything. I reset its properties to original defaults. When it started to work, lo and behold, all the news were showing. Great job! also thanks to shogun12, the file was not necessary when connectivity was resumed. Thank you all

Hey Euclid I absolutely love these indicators, thank you so much for your contribution it is incredible.

Quick question - is there a way to link to the news that is mentioned? It would be nice to be able to Ctrl+click or something onto the news and have it open up the article it was fetched from in my browser.

Hi, may I know if the indicator will take into account of the breaking news that aren't scheduled?
Currently using a monitor to refresh the news page every couple of mins for the breaking red news.

FANTASTIC! I have no other words for it.

One small thing: it will be very handy if it's possible to make the indicator small in the chart, because the indicator takes some space on my chart wherebay i don't have a very good summary on my charts. I mean something that you can click with your mouse on it to minimize it or something.

Maybe you can make that in it?

Thanks a lot!

Great indicator indeed, Beautiful. Especially the News Breaking Indi ... works like a charm. It's always on my chart now.

Is there a way to ake the News Breaking Indi to give an alert?

Anyone? Please.

It's somewhere free to download newScal V107? The original is entirely on me two things. Time zone and similar values and similar things need to change. Thank you
