Hey traders, been using the FFcal for news alerts on my MT4 platform. Having troubles now with it as the URL in the script file cant be found. http://cloud.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml

 

Any ideas??

 

Cheers

Simply copy and overwrite the following lines with this code:

string sTags[7] = { "<title>", "<country>", "<date><![CDATA[", "<time><![CDATA[", "<impact><![CDATA[", "<forecast><![CDATA[", "<previous><![CDATA[" };

string eTags[7] = { "</title>", "</country>", "]]></date>", "]]></time>", "]]></impact>", "]]></forecast>", "]]></previous>" };

 

It should work fine after this change. Hopefully FF doesn't change its xml tags often in the future. It's a big nuisance.

 

Cheers

edited, uploaded and working. Simply replace files in expert>indicator folder. Thanks always welcome if you find it useful please

This version doesn't seem to be working either. This is the error:

"Web page download was not complete!"

"empty string parameter for FileWriteString function" // i.e. file name is empty "".

 

The new URL is still valid:

http://www.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml

 

And the XML tags seem to be unchanged also. :( Perhaps it's just me. Can anyone confirm the updated version is still working?

New to this indicator...

Can someone explain how the below function is used?

 

extern bool IsEA_Call = false;

 

When does this need to set = true?

I am using this indicator for EA. So, just copy this to indicator folder is good enough with default settings?

 

Appreciate someone can reply to this post. Thanks,
