I've been working on this news indicator and it's now developed enough to share. I've also added a beta version of my breaking news indicator for you to play with. Data from the ForexFactory weekly calendar is refreshed hourly to catch any mid-week calendar updates from FF. Events can be filtered by impact, currency and category. A table of current and upcoming events can be displayed in a choice of two widths and may be placed anywhere on the chart. Vertical lines may be plotted on the chart to mark past events. Mouse over the lines to see details. Audible alarms can be configured to use any WAV files in your MT4/sounds directory. Indicator inputs DisplayTable..................Turn on table display TableTitle.....................Table heading. Multiple tables can be displayed on the same chart by giving each a different title NarrowTable..................Narrow abbreviated display TableShowClock.............Show local time clock TableNumEvents.............Table size TableLookAheadHrs.........Time (hours) that future events are displayed TableHorizAlign...............Horizontal table placement. Indent from left (pixels), or indent from right if negative, or centred if zero. TableVertAlign................Vertical table placement. Indent from top (pixels),or from the bottom if negative. TableSubWindow............Chart subwindow to place table. TableBackground............Show table background. DisplayVertLines.............Turn on vertical line display VLineMaxPeriod..............Maximum chart time period to show vertical lines e.g. set to 15 to show lines on timeframes M15 and lower. VLineLookAheadMns........Time (minutes) that future events are shown on the chart IncludeLowImpact...........Low impact events IncludeMediumImpact......Medium impact events IncludeHighImpact..........High impact events IncludeHolidays..............Bank holidays IncludeMeetings.............Meeting event category IncludeSpeeches............Speech event category IncludeSymbolCurrencies..Forex pair base and quote currencies CurrencyFilterList............Currency list eg "USD,JPY,GBP,EUR" or "ALL" SoundAlarms.................Turn on audible alarms Alarm1Wav...................WAV file for alarm 1. eg "alert.wav" Alarm1Mns....................Time (minutes) before events that alarm is sounded Alarm2Wav...................WAV file for alarm 2. eg "alert2.wav" Alarm2Mns....................Time (minutes) before events that alarm is sounded ColorBreaking................Error Messages and some other bits ColorHigh.....................High impact ColorMedium.................Medium impact ColorLow.....................Low impact ColorHoliday.................Bank Holidays ColorDefault.................Other stuff ColorBack1...................Background top ColorBack2...................Background bottom UseAlternateSource.......False = Forex Factory calendar data (recommended), True = DailyFX calendar data Please note that the indicators are FREE, and are therefore supplied on an 'as is, take-it-or-leave-it, use-at-your-own-risk' basis. Known issue: Opening the object properties dialog for any of the indicator's objects can cause MT4 to crash. Workaround: Don't do it! Current versions are NewsCal v1.07b & NewsBrk v0.05 Try it.
