Dailyfx news indicator for Aug 27,10 Trading Station release

[Spidey]

Seems DailyFx no longer provides a csv file, only pdf and xls. So unless someone or the author is willing and able to modify the code, that's it for this indicator.

Thank you for your report.
We will investigate.

Hi News indicator has stopped working in trading station. Hasn't worked since 29th August 2015.. does not work even if uninstall and install. Is this an issue for all or only my issue. Can someone look into what could be wrong?? Cheers

[Apprentice]

We are aware of that.
Looks like FXCM do not provide data anymore.
It will take a while until this will be fixed.

FXCM recommends to use their indicator https://www.fxcmapps.com/apps/dailyfx-news/.
It is free but FXCM account required.

FXCM still provides data but in xls (excel) format. Two options are :
1) modify indicator to parse xls files (probably difficult)
2) modify indicator to have option to import csv file directly from disk. users can download xls file from DailyFx and save as csv.

Currently trying to download FXCM news indicator but the account login appears not to be working. From the screenshot it appears more intrusive than Nikolay/Apprentice's version

FXCM indicator causes my cpu usage to jump 10%, my fan goes crazy and cursor lags and jumps on the charts. Otherwise, its OK.

am experiencing a similar problem - hang time opening entry and market order windows

not good,

not quite as good, but have gone to ForexFactory Calendar - viewtopic.php?f=17&t=61485&p=97199&hilit=FFCALENDAR#p97199

unfortunate

Sent a support request on the DailyFx app shop support page two weeks ago. So far, no reply, no acknowledgement. Really great. Just as well its not a paid app.

Working again with the beta site.

Change the following line:
http:load("www.dailyfx.com", 80, url, true);

to:
http:load("beta.dailyfx.com", 80, url, true);

May change again in the future if they rename the site.
