FFC – Forex Factory Calendar Binary Options Indicator

This is a modified version of the popular news indicator FFCal which was published initially by DerkWehler to ForexFactory forum. Actually, I’ve modified the code to suit my needs but I found that it may be useful for others as well so I decided to share it. I have rewritten the indicator so you can consider it almost “build from scratch” of the original. Yet, it shares the same techniques and main style.

The indicator places a panel on your chart that shows 5 economic events listed on the Forex Factory Calendar. You can filter out/in the events of High, Medium, or Low impact, Speaks, Holidays or by specific keyword filter. Please see all modifications listed below.

Also, the indicator can be called within an EA using the iCustom() function by accessing 2 buffers:

• Buffer (0) contains minutes until the most recent event.
• Buffer (1) contains impact value for the most recent event (Low = 1, Medium = 2, High = 3).

You can call buffers in two ways:

Simple call: (default values will be applied)

int EventMinute = (int)iCustom(NULL,0,"FFC",0,0);
if(EventMinute == 30) { .. YOUR CODE .. } // 30 minutes before the event

int EventImpact = (int)iCustom(NULL,0,"FFC",1,0);
if(EventImpact == 3)  { .. YOUR CODE .. } // High impact event

Advanced call:

iCustom(
        string       NULL,            // symbol 
        int          0,               // timeframe 
        string       "FFC",           // path/name of the custom indicator compiled program 
        bool         true,            // true/false: Active chart only 
        bool         true,            // true/false: Include High impact
        bool         true,            // true/false: Include Medium impact
        bool         true,            // true/false: Include Low impact
        bool         true,            // true/false: Include Speaks
        bool         false,           // true/false: Include Holidays
        string       "",              // Find keyword (case-sensitive)
        string       "",              // Ignore keyword (case-sensitive)
        bool         true,            // true/false: Allow Updates
        int          4,               // Update every (in hours)
        int          0,               // Buffers: (0) Minutes, (1) Impact
        int          0                // shift 
        );
