Economic Calendar: already available on MQL5.com, coming soon in MetaTrader 5

New comment
 

A new service has been launched on MQL5.com — the economic calendar tool is intended to provide useful information about macroeconomic events. It is considered a major fundamental market analysis tool developed by MetaQuotes Software on the bases of real-time data collected from public sources. 

The current version features economic news from the US, Japan and the European Union. Regardless of the broker used, relevant information is delivered to traders without delays, allowing them to instantaneously react to market events. Soon, the new calendar will replace the current one used in MetaTrader 5, so that users of the multi-asset platform will be able to receive up-to-date indicator values immediately after their release. Moreover, it will be possible to access the economic calendar from MQL5 robots and the strategy tester.

Great news!!!.  Would it be possible to add news from Australia, New Zealand and China in the near future ??.  Thanks-
 

Do you know estimated date when it will be possible to access the economic calendar from MQL5 robots and the strategy tester??

probably you can say exact day, but I mean if in one month, or 6 months etc...

Уже скоро будет рилтаймовый календарь с историей будет в MQL5, включая тестер стратегий. Мы вовсю заняты реализацией.

Календарь у нас собственный, источники у каждого события указаны в описании.

Не надо будет мучиться с парсингом.
Soon there will be a riltime calendar with a history in MQL5, including a strategy tester . We are busy with the implementation.
We have our own calendar, the sources for each event are listed in the description. It will not be necessary to suffer with parsing.
 

It has been a year now. Has the news calendar been implemented in mql5 and strategy tester yet? so that we can use it in code?

Thanks

You can read the summary thread about calendar, for example -

All about Calendar tab and Macro Economic Events 

for example - 

  • A good demonstration about using calendar economic events from code.
  • Documentation about object use by Calendar (See OBJ_EVENT).
 

Waiting long for such a tool.

Standard question: It doesn't come for mt4, right?!...

Yes. But I wanted to filter the events by the currency it is listed under in the Calendar tab. Any suggestions?

I think - it is not available now ... 

 
5 years has passed and still MQL5 hasnt implemented the use of the Econonic Calendar functions for use in the strategy tester. Why is this taking so long? All the documentation is already there, it's just for them to make it work in the tester. MQL5 needs to do better than this! 
Yes there are other ways of making it work  but all that extra code just makes things run slower and is overall less efficient.
