The following indiucators are active now (by the way, the news indicators/EA are working when the market is open, but the market is close during the weened and the price is not moved because of that) -

IN10TION NewsReader indicator is on this thread (first post of the thread). This is updated version for the new MT4 (build 600 and above).
The version (9.99v) for the old MT4 build 509 is on this post.

Investing.com Economic Calendar indicator for MT4 and MT5 is on this thread. This is updated version for the new MT4 (build 600 and above).

MT5.com Economic Calendar indicator is on this thread. This is the new MT5.com Economic Calendar which looks similar to the FF Calendar and has the same options. This calendar can be used as an alternative of the FF and DailyFX calendars that now are unable to use in MT4/5 terminals.This is updated version for the new MT4 (build 600 and above).
