I found it in indicators' settings:

It is 120 seconds by default (and we can change it)

By the way - I am not a coder of this indicator (Igorad is the coder).
I mean - you can check everything by yourself.

Hi Igor

Could you please have a look at this issue? Getting error (invalid format) since the begining of this week.




or the problem is something else?

I do not have any problem with this calendar indicator now.

This is for MT4 -

This is for MT5 -

and this is EA trading this calendar (MT4) -

You can go to MQL4 folder - Files - Investing.com News
and delete the latest CSV file from this week, and after that - attach indicator to the chart and this indicator will create new file.

I am not sure that it works but I am always using this way for fixing "invalid format issue".

If it does not work so I may ask Igorad to look at this indicator or format or any.

I checked once again (by deleted files to get new files with possible new format) - it works for me.

Hi ND

Thanks for the lead. It didn't work for me even after cleaning up the logs but I decided to wait and see. This week, it is back to normal and works as usual as you said.

Thank you

Hi there, do you guys know why it is missing information on the news indicator? It is only showing the "previous" value. The "forecast" column is not there, and the "actual" value, well, there is not even space for it , it seems. In half an hour there is a news event, I will check if it will update the indi with the actual value, but still, it is missing the "forecast". I can see anything in the options regarding to those parameters.

Best regards

So news came out, indi updated with "actual" value, but it did not color the vale based on "better or worse". Also, the forecast value column is really missing.

News Max Length should be increased from 27 by default to 30 or 40 (because some text for the news events are having big length).
Or use smaller font size in the settings.

It is because some text for some news are having big length today (I did not see this issue on the other days).

This is example for today with high impacted news events only (text for news events is having the normal length):

"better or worse" is related to "better than forecast" or "worse than forecast".
but if forecast value does not exist for some news events so - no coloring.
you can check investing.com calendar for example (same coloring comparing to forecast): https://www.investing.com/economic-calendar/
