Thank you very much Igor!!

But it seems, there is a bug. Today I can only see news till 01:45 GMT (Caixin Manufacturing PMI). But the calendar on https://www.investing.com/economic-calendar/ shows me a lot of more news after this.

Hi Mitch,

Thanks a lot for finding a bug.

Please check out the fixed version 1.1.


Regards.
Igor

Thanks Igor.

The bug seems to be solved.

Hi,

Where do I put the Flag zip files and what is the empty subwindow file used for? Thanks

Flag zip: unzip the archive with national flags to MQL4/Images directory.

EmptySubwindow_v1 file is the indicator. Place it to indicators' folder and compile. It is used to place Investing.com Calendar_v1.1 600+ indicator to subwindow: we are attaching EmptySubwindow_v1 indicator first to create the empty subwindow, and attaching Investing.com Calendar indicator to this subwindow after that - according to the settings:

Code:

window = 0; // Window: 0-chart window,1-1st subwindow,2-2nd subwindow and so on

And play with Currency Filter (None-Off, Color-On) settings and NewsImportance filter settings (L,M,H) to display indicator on the chart.
