thanks in advance !

a pm would be nice
Said news releases have to come from somewhere. There is no such thingy as an indi that clutches these from thin air.

Do an internet search for ffcal - or maybe someone will post the latest here. ffcal is an indi that attempts to read ForexFactory's news calander. The problem with it is that FF's news thingy is unreliable - misses many important ones and mis-lables others. Back a couple of ice ages, I was involved in producing ea's that used ffcal for exactly what you want. It was a waste of time.

Maybe a more reliable news reader has emerged since. I have not come across it and so cannot provide it.

:D
