Daily FX News Indicator

[kwanann]

Well, i got sick and tired of using ffcal and trying to figure out what options to use for news_b6, so i decided to go and write my own.

NO time settings required

If you want to be fancy go ahead and change the color scheme, otherwise it is good to go as is

Click on the title to automatically open up the dailyfx news website for the day

90% of functionality already done and tested, the other 10% are purely bells & whistle

Enjoy

Requires: Empty4 Build 600 and ABOVE

Wow nice one spiderx!

Not looking at something so fancy since this is thrown in my Empty4 dashboard, simply a replacement of the defunct ffcal indi

But hey that works well too, nicely presented

Thanks for the simplified mod to the Daily News Indicator. Just wondering if its possible to come up with a iCustom call for the Indicator?

I've attached the code that was from the original version of FFCal that seems to work well...

Thanks, Jason

Code: Select all

void NewsHandling()
 {
     static int PrevMinute = -1;

      if (ImpactFilter > 0) {
         if (Minute() != PrevMinute)
         {
             PrevMinute = Minute();
    
             int minutesSincePrevEvent = iCustom(NULL, 5, "FFCal", IncludeHigh, IncludeMedium, IncludeLow, IncludeSpeaks, 1, 0);
             int minutesUntilNextEvent = iCustom(NULL, 5, "FFCal", IncludeHigh, IncludeMedium, IncludeLow, IncludeSpeaks, 1, 1);
 
             int impactOfPrevEvent =  iCustom(NULL, 5, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 2, 0);
             int impactOfNextEvent = iCustom(NULL, 5, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 2, 1);
 
             
            
             NewsTime = false;
             NewsTimeComment = "No News, Trading Allowed LVL   " + impactOfPrevEvent + "   "  + minutesSincePrevEvent + "  mins. ago, LVL   " + impactOfNextEvent + "  in  " + minutesUntilNextEvent + "  mins.";
             
             if ((minutesUntilNextEvent <= MinsBeforeNews) || 
                 (minutesSincePrevEvent <= MinsAfterNews))
             {
             
                  if ((impactOfPrevEvent >= ImpactFilter) || (impactOfNextEvent >= ImpactFilter)) {
                     NewsTime = true;
                     NewsTimeComment = "Ongoing News, Trading Disallowed  LVL   " + impactOfPrevEvent + "   "  + minutesSincePrevEvent + "mins. ago, LVL   " + impactOfNextEvent + "  in  " + minutesUntilNextEvent + "  mins.";
                  } else {
                    NewsTime = true;
                    NewsTimeComment = "Ongoing Light News, Trading Allowed  LVL   " + impactOfPrevEvent + "   "  + minutesSincePrevEvent + "mins. ago, LVL   " + impactOfNextEvent + "  in  " + minutesUntilNextEvent + "  mins.";
                  }
             }
         }
     } else {
         NewsTime = false;
         NewsTimeComment = "Check Disabled Trading Allowed";
     }
 }//Void NewsHandling End
