Thanks for contributing this:

Very simple output, but the code appears to be simply the best structured calendar lib so far – I like this!

Now I think this will be my last post here for 2015. Best wishes to all members and contributors – may 2016 be a great year for all of you!

I absolutely agree:

It’s not about finding ‘all’ possible entries, but a sufficient number of entries with a low quote of false entries.

When looking at the plan G. laid out in his REALLY simple thread, we should not follow the attempt to over-optimize a certain single-pair indicator like VZO. After integrating VZO, Clear Method (P&T), and…[Read more]

Ok, let’s talk about News Calendar Integration a bit.

Since I haven’t seen the code Emonts mentioned in his latest post yet, I continued to work through Derk Wehlers FFCal solution to get a grip on that one.

I found one interesting comment in his code which I’d like to discuss here:

Set AllowWebUpdates to false when using in another EA or Chart,…

Interesting:

Looking forward to test it. Has it been posted somewhere before?

That’s why I said Function (?)….

It can also be an external call.

…”BeforeTrade/AfterTrade (minutes) means number of minutes to next event and number of minutes after previous event? “…  –> Yes.

Ok:

BeforeTrade/AfterTrade (minutes) means number of minutes to next event and number of minutes after previous event?

A Function? Would be nice. The indicator has got some nice features, but the overall architecture appears to be more or less monolithic. Will take a while to convert this into a set of functions that make sense.

We want to call that function (?) with user params like BeforeTrade/AfterTrade (minutes), Medium/High impact, Currency pair relevance.

I just started to look at the topic of news calendar integration.

A lot of rubbish code seems to be underway in WWW regarding news … indicators that don’t display anything, or don’t even load, or jamming my screen with millions of alerts.

I found these to work reliably on my system: here and here, regarding FF calendar and DailyFX…[Read more]

To be honest: this is exactly the kind of mod I had in mind, but I didn’t have enough time to implement it yet:

Looking at your code, and letting G’s reply aside for now, I would suggest some minor modifications of your code. Your main routine is as follows:

int start() {
double delta=2.0/(1.0+VZOPeriod);
double TV=0.0,VP=0.0;
for(int…[Read more]

That’s not the way I’ve implemented my MOD’s.

I agree that the 40 level is great and accurate.

Trying to find “more” signals usually leads to less acuurate indicators, although it is annoying to see missed “obvious” opportunities.

The indicator is showing Volume based opportunities, and you have to accept the fact that there are other ones,…[Read more]

I think what you’re marking as ‘inefficiencies’ or ‘false signals’ is the typical behaviour of an indicator that’s meant to be very reactive to fast changing short term conditions: works as designed

Taken as the only indicator defining your entries it will certainly empty your account in no time. But show me a single indicator this rule does…[Read more]

on sx_ClearMethodSimple_v1_2.mq4 the signal from swing low to high and swinghigh to low on my test works perfect. nice job 

Ok, hope that this is working now. At least I did not manage my new Clear Method or ‘Peak & Trough’ indicator to display anything unstable.

Main difference as compared to my previous approaches: I allowed for a certain amount of redundant calculation instead of shifting historic values around in static arrays. Makes life easier from time to time…[Read more]
