News event monitor EA that closes/disables trading

[renexxxx]

Thank you for a much needed EA. Now if there was a way to auto set the GMT broker time...then boom!

You can try if this works:

Code: Select all

datetime GMTToServer( datetime GMTTime ) {

   datetime brokerGMTOffset = TimeCurrent() - TimeGMT();
   
   return( GMTTime + brokerGMTOffset); // + BrokerGMTOffSet*60*60 );
}

If it does, you can out comment the BrokerGMTOffSet parameter, like so:

Code: Select all

//input int               BrokerGMTOffSet              = 2;          // Broker time GMT OffSet in hours

Hello
Thank you for allowing me onto this great site.
I have downloaded the "News event monitor that closes trading"
I have set it up on a blank Empty4 chart.
I have another chart open running a basic trade.
The EA was set up for low impact news.
The EA is configured correctly (I think) but there was no action from the EA when the news event happend.
I have checked times and plus there were no errors or naughty messages in the Empty4 tabs.

Please help as I would love to get the EA to function as it should.
I have attached files.
Please help.
Thanks

Which br0ker do you use? For GP the current GMT offset is currently 3 hours, not 2. Check your times again and report back.

Thank you for your response.
I use IC markets and their offset = 2 Hours.

You are mistaken. Check the time in your market watch panel:

Then Google GMT Time

take the difference. Most br0kers are now at GMT+3. IC Markets is too. Subject closed.

Thanks all sorted.
Most appreciated
Also had to sort out firewall.
Brilliant EA just perfectly executed.

Am I the only one with the issue that the EA closes the trades only on the pair it's attached to? Even though should close any trade that contains the specific news filter report (ex: if the news filter is attached to usdchf and I have xauusd open trade, it does not close it)

Also should be useful a small dashboard or some lines with the upcoming news(this could also be a confirmation if the GMT and XML are working properly)
