Thanks for providing this calendar. Some questions.
1. Is there a way to export the calendar? I can't even seem to copy/paste from my Web browser. Would be nice to be able to insert this data into my own database/spreadsheet to analyze trades and keep a trade log, etc.
2. Once a Direction and Future Chart prediction are made, are they ever changed either pre- or post- news?
3. Is there a way to filter out the Low Volatility events? Just want to focus on the High and Medium events.
4. Once a Volatility assessment is made, will this change either pre- or post- news? Forex Factory will change their ratings after the news event which skews the historical record (at least in terms of using the record for backtesting). Hopefully you don't change anything once it gets posted, but, just want to make sure.
5. I assume the Volatility assessment is made based on average past movement for said news event? How far back have you gone in your analysis? Is it weighted with more emphasis placed on recent news events? I see that the calendar goes back to January 2006. Is that how back you've gone with your analysis?
BTW, I love how you can click on the month name to get a pop-up to jump to other years or to Today. Would love to see data there for the other years!
6. Small issue. On Mac Safari, the Direction, Volatility, etc buttons do not display correctly. They get bunched up vertically rather than spaced apart horizontally. No issue with Firefox on Mac. Must have different JavaScript requirements.
7. I see the preliminary vs final tags, but, I don't see any listings with these tags. Is this not implemented yet?
8. Any plans to integrate this with an MT4 EA? I see two approaches. One which follows your predictions, and, another which simply straddles the market based on the best pair to trade for the event. Of course, TP/SL would adjust according to expected volatility. And, a time-based exit trigger could take you out after xx minutes have elapsed. The event name would be logged to the order history comments field. And, for the straddler, maybe provide an option to more heavily adjust the lot size in the direction of the Future Chart prediction if one exists, otherwise, just go with the standard risk setting for both pending orders in the straddle.
Anyway, thanks again for providing this calendar, and I look forward to it's progress and development.
