Hi Rogério,

Thanks a lot for this link. I already wrote a parser for this page but maybe someone knows how to load the calendar using the week start and end dates.

Hi Igor,
Good job.
I already had all the functions ready with your old DailyFX filter now I'm creating a new news filter for my Ea.
See Forex Factory

Code:

bool        skip,lotnotif;
datetime    newsTime,calendardate;
int         xmlHandle,BoEvent,end,begin,minsTillNews,tmpMins,idxOfNext,dispMinutes[9],newsIdx,next,i,WebUpdateFreq=60;
string      xmlFileName,myEvent,mainData[100][7],sData,dispTitle[9],dispCountry[9],dispImpact[9],alertstring,prefix="NEWS_",News[],tmp;
string      sUrl="http://www.forexfactory.com/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml";
string      sTags[7]=
  {
   "<title>","<country>","<date><![CDATA[","<time><![CDATA[",
