I've been using the Daily FX indicator attached, as I remember you saying a few times that FFCal wasn't too reliable

Here's the code I've managed to cut and paste together that I'm currently using....

Code: Select all

extern string        Text_News = "----News Filter Settings >>>";
extern bool          UseNews = false;
extern int           MinsBeforeNews = 720; 
extern int           MinsAfterNews  = 1; ;
string               NN = "<<< News Handling Impact Filter: 0=Disabled, 1=Low, 2=Medium, 3=High >>>";
extern int           ImpactFilter = 3; 
bool		            ReportAllPairs		= false;
bool		            ReportAllForUSD	= false;
bool 	               IncludeHigh 		= true;
bool 	               IncludeMedium 		= false;
bool 	               IncludeLow 			= false;
bool 	               IncludeSpeaks 		= true;
bool                 NewsTime;
string               NewsTimeComment = "";

Code: Select all

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

      if (ImpactFilter > 0) {
      if (Minute() != PrevMinute)
      {
      PrevMinute = Minute();

      int minutesSincePrevEvent = iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal_DailyFX", IncludeHigh, IncludeMedium, IncludeLow, IncludeSpeaks, 1, 0);
      int minutesUntilNextEvent = iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal_DailyFX", IncludeHigh, IncludeMedium, IncludeLow, IncludeSpeaks, 1, 1);
 
      int impactOfPrevEvent = iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal_DailyFX",IncludeHigh, IncludeMedium, IncludeLow, IncludeSpeaks, true, 0, true, -1, -1, ReportAllPairs, ReportAllForUSD, false, false, 4, true, 8, DeepSkyBlue,  Gray,Red,Orange,Khaki, 2, false, false, 2, 0);
      int impactOfNextEvent = iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal_DailyFX",IncludeHigh, IncludeMedium, IncludeLow, IncludeSpeaks, true, 0, true, -1, -1, ReportAllPairs, ReportAllForUSD, false, false, 4, true, 8, DeepSkyBlue, Gray, Red, Orange, Khaki, 2, false, false, 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) 
      {
      NewsTime = true;
      NewsTimeComment = "Ongoing News, Trading Disallowed  LVL " + impactOfPrevEvent + " "  + minutesSincePrevEvent + "Mins. Ago, LVL " + impactOfNextEvent + "in " + minutesUntilNextEvent + "Mins.";
      status=status+" Trading Disabled By News.";
      }
      if (impactOfNextEvent >= ImpactFilter) 
      {
      NewsTime = true;
      NewsTimeComment = "UpComing News, Trading Disallowed  LVL " + impactOfPrevEvent + " "  + minutesSincePrevEvent + "Mins. Ago, LVL " + impactOfNextEvent + "in " + minutesUntilNextEvent + "Mins.";
      status=status+" Trading Disabled By News.";
      } 
                  
      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

Hope it's useful
