Want to get all events like Previous/Forecast/Actual values for each news to analyze/predict it?
By this simple library you can do it easily,Just import/integrate the library into your system,then get
all possible values for each news Even In Strategy Tester .
Note:
Please add the address "https://www.forexfactory.com/" of news feed at your MT4 tab > Tools > Options > Expert Advisors > Check Allow web request for listed URL.
Since the WebRequest() function can't be called from indicator based on MQL4 documention,thus it should be imported
to ExpertAdvisors or Scripts.and the function won't be called in strategy tester,first the news should be downloaded by
the library,then it can go to testing.
