Hi, Good Day Sergey
Why is the mt5 news calendar built in sometimes different from websites that provide news calendars such as investing.com?
As happened with CAD core cpi (mom nov), on investing.com it is in the high importance news category, but on mt5 the news calendar is in the medium important news category?
What really distinguishes the mt5 news calendar built in from news calendars from other websites? and can you mention the source of the mt5 news calendar taken from?
thank's before for your time and your answer

mql5 news calendar was build by itself without taking any news/impacts/etc from the other news calendars.
Because news calendars are very different ones: there are informational calendars, and there are tradable calendar which we can trade news events with them, and so on.
So, it is the normal sotuation when the impact of some news event is different from one calendar to an other one.

But you can check forex-factory calendar (which was the best tradable calendar in past; yes, in past) - this news event is low impacted :

Anyone did any comparison analysis with forex factory to determine :
1. Are the same news appearing in both?
2. How different are the impact classifications?
3. Anyone actually tried to get forex factory news using code in MQL5?

News Trading Made Easy (Part 1): Creating a Database
In this article, we will learn to create a database in which we will store data from the MQL5 Economic Calendar. This data can be used later, in upcoming articles, to trade the news. We will also explore how to execute basic SQL queries to retrieve certain organized information from this database. The entire process will be done in the MQL5 IDE.
Traders keep a close watch on news sources for information that might impact the markets. This includes geopolitical events, corporate earnings announcements, political events, and economic reports such as GDP growth or employment figures. Traders act quickly to respond to significant news releases to profit from resulting market changes. Depending on how the news is interpreted, buying or selling assets may be necessary. In this article, we will focus on economic events, as they are readily available to us through the MQL5 Economic Calendar.

News Trading Made Easy (Part 2): Risk Management
A quick refresher for the previous article in the News Trading Made Easy series. In part 1, we went through the concept of DST(Daylight Savings Time) and the various versions for different countries that essentially change their time zones by an hour ahead and behind during a financial year. This will change trading schedules for the related brokers using DST. The reasons for creating a database and the benefits were addressed. A database was created to store the news events from the MQL5 Economic Calendar with subsequent changes to the event time data to reflect the broker's DST schedule for accurate back-testing in the future. In the project files, an SQL script results in an Excel format was provided for all the unique events accessible through the MQL5 Calendar for all the different countries.
However, in this article, we will make a few changes to our previous code in part 1. Firstly by implementing inheritance to the existing code and upcoming new code, the previous news/calendar database will get a revamp into something more useable and practical. Additionally, we will tackle risk management and create different risk profiles to choose from for users with different risk appetites or preferences.
