FFCal update — Greets all: I found a problem with FFCal (v.05). When called from an EA, if there were no more events for the week (for the currency pair it was assigned to), it would report zero for "Minutes until next event". Likewise, before ...

You will have to ask Merlin about that one. Right now the only way is to make the EA save each one (not a tough change) and wait a year. However, there was a guy on the yahoo group who had put together a file with all the news events over the past ...

Kurka: I've been thinking about it, and I have a bit of free time in the next day or two. If you want to just send me the .mq4 file, I can try to get it working... If you want me to look at it, let me know which broker you are using, and send the ...

Kurka: Do the Print statement you have in there print out the right values? If you add a 5th boloean in each call, set to false, it will not display info on screen, but that should not matter for functionality. Do you have the FFCall loaded on the ...

FFCal Hangs — Hello again: I have just tried testing FFCal_v05 on 23 platforms... 21 FXDD, an IBFX, and a Mig. 4 of the FXDDs did not work; all the rest worked fine. But perhaps now I see why some folks have trouble. 2 of the FXDD platforms ...

Variable # of news events — I guess it was not done that way because it never occurred to me that anyone would want that much stuff on their chart. It was originally made to do one, then someone suggested 2... I could change it, but it would ...

Tesla: It's a fine thought, but the older indicator version (well, all of them) are made assuming the XML page will be in a certain format. You cannot just put some sort of "See forum" or "Update to verson 5" message in there; the indicator would ...

Well, as long as you are NOT using Windows 2000, like me, they were supposed to have a patch that came out so that when Windows automagically updates your computer for DST, it works correctly. Mine did not, because the @$%^! at MS no longer support ...
