I'm trying to feed my EA news information so it knows when to avoid entering the market. I've coded some subroutines to do that, and I'm using them in combination with a .csv file. Myfxbook seems to be an excellent source of news, and it allows you to filter by high and medium impact, and even displays time based on the broker time you select. I can use this to write a new input file every weekend, but this is rather tedious and error-prone. Is there a way to automatically export this data from myfxbook?
It'd be even easier if it was in this format, too: 2011.07.21 14:00;EUR EcoFin Meeting 2011.07.21 17:00;USD Bernanke Testifies 2011.07.22 04:30;AUD Import Price Index |

There is an fxbook API...so I guess most things would be possible...
Ok, maybe not - I looked, didn't see anything pertaining to it, perhaps they can include it in the API. Show me your pips!! |

It's ok, I found another site that makes the news exportable via csv file at logical URLs. I just coded some VBA excel macros to import the data for the week as a web query, perform the formatting I need, and store it as a .csv in the various locations I need to run my multiple terminal windows.
I know this is a quick and dirty solution, and not the most elegant, but it works and I got it all automated with single click. |

If you want a more direct link, the data actually comes from Fxstreet.com
http://www.fxstreet.com/fundamental/economic-calendar/ Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler. |

How do you decide what's an 'important' news? Based on the impact devised? |

I'm using dailyFX's classification... anything 'medium' or 'high' importance according to them is 'important' to the EA.

Does you system fail? Maybe you should adjust your system for these specific periods, so you would run different versions of your system per different market scenarios. |

I'm not trading these events. This is for a news avoidance subroutine. In other words, the EA is prevented from making any trades before or after these events.

Got it.
Did you automate the download process of the csv also? Or are you manually downloading the files each day/week? |
