Thank you so much NewDigital!

NewDigital, if you're going to be sending this to him, please ask for one more feature, if he could allow us to define the number of news that shows up... or news that will be released within a predefined number of days.

Thanks thanks thanks!

I noticed that the timing of the releases are very different from several other news indicator I'm currently also testing with. I've tried putting it on Auto Time Zone detection but it shows +3 GMT, so that is diferent from my timezone or my broker's. I've also set it auto detection to Off, and used Manual trying both 8 and 2 GMT, and likewise the timing is wrong.

Can someone advise if I'm doing something wrong, or could there be a bug in the indicator.

Kindly help because I would love to use this to replace my other news indicators.

Thanks in advance.

Hi rayphua,

Please check out the fixed versions v3.5 for both platforms. Now you can use your Broker's, Local and any other time to see the DailyFX Calendar.

On the attached screenshot you can see how it works with TimeMode=2 and TimeZone=-7(Los Angeles Time) in the OANDA MT4(GMT-5).

There is only one problem: unfortunately, the Events time can not be changed and it shows the Broker's time.

Regards,
Igor

Igor, thank you very much.

I've tried it. I assume the following:

1. I only need download the ex4 file for this update.
2. If I want the time to be set for my timezone, it would be set for "1" for local.

If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Also, 2 questions Igorad.

First, I know the timing on the right of indicator is the local timezone, what about the left timing, where it says 09.01?

Second, because it currently shows 2 past events and 2 future events which is only 20 mins away from now, I cannot anticipate a future event few hours later, I think it would be helpful to have it allow us to set the number of news events to show. Can I ask for your help in allowing this to be coded into the indicator?

Thank you Igorad, it is truly the most useful, and beautiful economic calendar indicator Ive seen.

Yes, these settings are correct.

First, I know the timing on the right of indicator is the local timezone, what about the left timing, where it says 09.01?

This is the date in your timezone.

Second, because it currently shows 2 past events and 2 future events which is only 20 mins away from now, I cannot anticipate a future event few hours later, I think it would be helpful to have it allow us to set the number of news events to show.

Sorry but I don't plan to do this in the near future.

Thanks for your neat indicator.
Is there any way to use it in an EA using the iCustom function?
I tried to past your indicator to iCustom, but all comes out are zeros!
Would be nice if one could have the time and currency of the news as outputs of the indicator.
