I want to let my EA know if there's High Impact News 30 mins before and after. If there is then my ea won't trade.

How could I make this possible using the indicator?

Looking for Example call FFcal in FFcal_net.mq4:
// SAMPLE CALLS TO THE INDICATOR:
//
// int minutesSincePrevEvent =
// iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 0);
//
// int minutesUntilNextEvent =
// iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 1);
//
// // Use this call to get ONLY impact of previous event
// int impactOfPrevEvent =
// iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 2, 0);
//
// // Use this call to get ONLY impact of next event
// int impactOfNextEvent =
// iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 2, 1);
//
* Call FFcal in your EA, check Impact event for Condition Buy or Sell

I also receive the "FFCal - Web page download was not complete!" error message several times immediately I have attached the FFCal indicator to the chart window. Up till now I do not know what to do about it. I wish someone could come up with a solution. I am using windows 8.1. 64 bit OS. MT4 is version 4.00, build 1010. Thank you in advance.

Any one managed to get an EA to call FFCal and return correctly ?

I can get the FFCal indicator to run and show on a window.

In order to get the EA to call FFCal, I set
IsEA_Call to true
AllowWebUpdates to false
Then the FFCal indicator is not showing anything on the screen. Is it correct ?

My EA is also not getting the right response from FFCal.

Please share your setting if you could get it working. Setting and version of FFCal.

Good day all: With the generous cooperation of the folks at ForexFactory, I have created an indicator which will tell you how many minutes till the next relevant news event (or two). Normally I peruse the Yahoo MetaTrader_Experts_and_Indicators group, where this has already been posted. But it's only proper that it be posted here as well. In order to use it, you need to turn on DLL Imports in your Metatrader platform options, because it calls a DLL to get your timezone, as well as another to read the ForexFactory web page to get news information....

Hi Everybody,

I'm trying to use a FFCal, but I have the "FFCAL Error - Web page download was not complete!"
I checked the URL, and change to the correct site: http://www.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml

I use it as well FFC. Do you know if there is setup to show actual numbers? also, at least for me, vertical lines are as per broker date and time not FF time. Do you know if there is way that vertical lines show FF time on chart?
thank you.

I have modified a version of FFCal ...
One thing I don't like in your indicator : it shows how many hours until news. I prefer as it is in FF to show in local time when is news.

I want to let my EA know if there's High Impact News 30 mins before and after. If there is then my ea won't trade. How could I make this possible using the indicator?
Recently I did program a simple solution that uses FFcal indicator vertical lines and disables MT4 autotrading xx min before and yy min after high impact news. This way it is possible to block/disable any EA on your MT4. Unfrortunatelly I can not share this here on this forum. PM me, or google me if you are interested

Greets,

What's up guys. I'm working on a completely new FFEvents library that makes use of MQL's OOP features which makes it super easy to interact with events and integrate into an EA or indicator. This is a work in progress but usable/fast at this point. Here is the repo to clone or download the most recent lib files.

Here are some use-case examples https://bitbucket.org/nicholishen/ff...e-view-default

Thanks for this - I'm getting compile errors in MT4 for lines 30 of "FFDateTime.mqh" - are you seeing the same errors? Not sure how to fix?

No, I'm not getting those errors. That line is declaring an instance of the String class. Are you sure you have all the files from the repo? StringEnhanced.mqh needs to be in the folder as well as all the original standard lib files in their default locations.

EDIT: Oh I see... It's fixed now... It didn't effect the project just that one mqh, but it won't show any errors now.
