MQL5 Economic calendar: CalendarValueHistory and CALENDAR_EVENT_IMPORTANCE

New comment
 

I use CalendarValueHistory to get historical calendar data.

datetime date_from = D'24.10.2022';  
datetime date_to = D'25.10.2022';    
if (CalendarValueHistory(values, date_from, date_to, CountryCode))
{
//..

 But the most important parameter for me is the Event IMPORTANCE:

But exactly this value is NOT in the MqlCalendarValue structure. (Values are set in the listing ENUM_CALENDAR_EVENT_IMPORTANCE)

Is it somehow possible to get it or to calculate it from the values of the MqlCalendarValue structure?

Many Thanks

I just found an example code that solves my problem. CalendarValueHistoryByEvent is my friend.

The article highlights the programming features of the Economic Calendar and considers creating a class for a simplified access to the calendar properties and receiving event values. Developing an indicator using CFTC non-commercial net positions serves as a practical example.
