Hello guys,

I thought I would open a thread which is focusing on news indicatos for MT4, so we can quickly find the avaiable indicators in one thread.
But I would like this also to be a development thread so, existing news indicators could be improved etc.

I am currently trying myself to create an indicator like that.
For that indicator I wan to use myfxbook.com calender data.
myfxbook.com/en/forex-economic-calendar

I was thinking about modifying this indicator: to work with myfxbook data - just like the economic calendar on the front page Forex Station Economic Calendar.


To get the data in form of a csv or xml file we would need to download it from their page, but that is only possible if you are logged in so we would need to use a cookie when sending the request, so we can download the xml file.

I never used Webrequests in mt4 and would like to know if someone could help me/guide me on how i can download the xml file. Once the xml file is downloaded I should be able to do the rest myself. My bottleneck is only that I do not know how to get the xml downloaded.

Kind regards,
salexes

Could someone create an NEWS indicator or modify an existing news indicator to work with this libary:
This uses MyFXBook Data and we could use this for backtesting aswell.
