please find attached below:
1. a screen shot of my chart and how does it look switch off/on time.
2. assorted file of all the necessary indicators. for instructions how to distribute those indicators among your MT4 folders i'll be glad to help if someone will show interest.
3. the piece of my ea code that regards to the news fetching, switch ea on and off and drowing on the chart.

problems i've encountered during past months:
1. FF website can fall down. so if the ea fetches news hourly there are some rare cases a news release could be missed. for that reason every D1 open candle the ea fetches the news, not hourly.
2. like i read here before, when my vps restart, so FF websites restart as well. by default its' GMT-5 but my broker is GMT+1. i have a special time differnce option in my ea for that.

i hope this contribution here will improve your work as well, and maybe will give me some ideas as well.
