4. Files.
There are 3 files:
- NewsTrader_v5.3 EA;
- WebGet.mqh (get it from the other post of this thread);
- WebGet.dll (get it from the other post of this thread).
5. How to install NewsTrader_v5.3 EA.
Please note: this EA is not working with old build of Metatrader so please check your build.
- Place NewsTrader_v5.3 EA file to \experts folder (for example: C:\Program Files\Metatrader4\experts).
- Place WebGet.mqh file to \include folder (for example: C:\Program Files\Metatrader4\experts\include).
- Place WebGet.dll file to \libraries folder (for example: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\experts\libraries).
And please check the following:
- confirm DLL function call should be
off in the Tools menu of Metatrader.
- Allow Enable Expert Advisors and Allow live trading should be
on in Tools menu of Metatrader.
- Allow DLL import and Allow external experts import should be
on in Tools menu of Metatrader and in indicator's settings as well.
Compile the EA in MetaEditor.
6. Settings.
All the settings are understandable from the other posts about SignalTrader EA and News indicators. Please look at those posts of this thread.
7. How it works.
This indicator is downloading calendar from forex-tsd calendar tool as excel file to /files folder (for example: C:\Program Files\Metatrader4\experts\files) once per week.
If you use ID=4 (ID of the calendar) so it is my forex calendar.
EA is using this excel file to show the news events. New file is downloading automatically every week in the beginning of the week when first ticks coming.
