{quote} Sir, I put your two files in /MQL4/indicators/News, the Breaking News shows up, but Cal still says "download failed". And where should I change http:/.... to https:/ ... ?
AT THAT MOMENT this URL is working https://cdn-nfs.forexfactory.net/ff_...isweek.xml?v=0

Manual workaround is also possible:
http://www.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml - save as NewsCal$CacheFile$0.txt in MQL4/Files

Thanks. It's kind of complicated for me, could not break and edit ex4 file.
Glad mario2 just showed me a manual way. Also I find "Plot news" indicator works for me, with help of "PythonNewsDownlaoder".

Thank you, sir. Still don't know how to replace that url inside ex4 file. But this manual method works like charm.

Can't believe people are still using this. I did a quick fix. Try this one. {file}
Hello Euclid,

Thank you for this great indicators, these are must have indicators for traders!!
It is so great that you came back to this thread.

I have few request for the indicators. Please consider when you have time.

Please add VLine options for NewsCal indicator.Disable VLines and text on subwindow.It will be great if I can choose to show it to main or sub window with my choice, so that I can show both Newsbrk vLines and NewsCal vLines on one chart.If I can say more I would like to change color and size of text for vLine.
Regarding Newsbrk indicator please add same VLine options and it would be so great if I can add sound alert option every time when news comes out.
Also I would like to save presets for both indicator.

Thank you so much.

This is very frustrating. Vertical lines are not displaying. And yes, displayverticalines is marked true. I even changed it to false to see if it would then display. It didn't. I've loaded and reloaded various different NewsCal versions and in all cases vertical lines resfuse to display. Anyone else having this issue? Better, anyone have a solution to this issue?

But for whatever reason it isn't running or updating for me. I can tell because the clock is frozen. Maybe this is due to it being the end of the day on a Friday. Will see if it works when the market opens Sunday.

FF decided to start this week on a Saturday, so I had to add a fix to allow for that.

Also now if you delete the URL, it just uses the saved file instead and doesn't give a 'Download Error'.

Version 1.08a is up on post 1.

Does it download 'Actual' data?. If not, then it is useless for fx trading. All the indicators posted here are useless without real time 'actual' data.

Hi, the indicator was fine few days ago, this morning newscal is not displaying anything and showing "file error" message. I'm not sure how to fix it and would appreciate your feedback on this matter

Like sir Mario2 said, you only need to change the "ForexFactoryURL" in the indicator list for "newscal-v108a".
