Hi guys,
have checked previous threads about news filter.
Is there already a function in fx dreema to implement News filter from external website like tradedays for example?

-
Not yet, I'm afraid. There are several approaches as far as I know but not a definite one.
-
Ok, but it isnt available to get access to external links in general right?
-

You need to find a news indicator yourself, then import the indicator and build whatever EA you want. -
Ok, but you then need to connect is with expternal website right, to get the current news data? Like tradays or forex factory right?
-
@fifeivkbdedwcf
The indicator will do it for you and show news as objects (vertical lines) on the chart. You just need fxdreema to tackle the objects -
Yes, but in the indicator it needs to get the data somewhere i fought, therefore need to connect via some sort of news page right?
you know DLLs web requests.

@fifeivkbdedwcf
Of course. But the indicators are often proprietary and some require payment fee. You have no way to know how they work internally -
The dash lines are news time. They are objects. You just need your EA to check the objects for news time.
By the way, the difficult part is not the way identifying news time, but the way you use it. I still finding a way to make a good use of it.
-
Where can I find an indicator like this?
-
Hi, is it paid indicator?
-
@fifeivkbdedwcf
It a free indicator without restriction, although the author has some other commercial ones.If you are interested, google "FXSSI Calendar"
-
Yes just downloaded it thank you a lot.
Will try it with the EA as well. -
I found the FXSSI indicator, was showing the wrong times, correct day, but an hour or so out.
-
The indicator has an input for Server Time Offset. May need some work to test the correct value for individual broker or user.
-
That makes sense, FTMO is +2 hours on GMT. I would have thought it would have worked this out by it's self, so I imagine it needs adjusting on DST.
-
@jstap
Yes. The indicator is not smart enough to auto adjust the DST itself -
Could you please send again, file cant be open
-
I've got you right, if used on demo server by MT5 it works in time with auto settings, but if used with prop firm brokers location time may vary?
Did test it on demo yesterday and today, didnt change anything for server time but seems to be working so far.
-
@fifeivkbdedwcf
I think different broker may have different offset. I would adjust the outcome of the setting so that it would be consistent with known news time.
