Thanks. Exporting (or at least copy/paste) would be quite helpful. I like Forex Factory's implementation of filtering out Low/Medium/High impact events. But, unlike you, they will change these after the fact, which really makes it not as helpful as your calendar which remains fixed.
One more request, like FF, can you please allow a cookie to be set (or something comparable) in one's Web browser so one's localization settings remain? That would be great!
Sounds like you've done a lot of analysis of the effects of prior news events on price action. Have you looked much into FXEngine's similar research? I believe they've gone back a longer period of time than just the previous year.
Have you researched methods of analyzing longer periods of data programmatically? I can sure understand the challenge in doing that, just as much as I understand and appreciate the huge commitment and effort involved with manually analyzing said history. It's just you never know if the reactions over the last 1 year to news events will reflect just what will happen for the next year.
Anyway, thanks much the calendar and for being open to ideas and dialogue on enhancements. Doing something similar has been on my project to-do list for a while...
Cheers
Bill

>> 1. Is there a way to export the calendar?
I can turn the export switch on. You'd be able to export in csv or excel. But i'm not sure if it'd do any good to the calendar especially the data license policy vendor imposed on me.
>> 2. Once a Direction and Future Chart prediction are made, are they ever changed either pre- or post- news?
They will never change. Stay the same before and after the news.
>> 3. Is there a way to filter out the Low Volatility events? Just want to focus on the High and Medium events.
Not yet possible now, but i'll consider it in the next release. I wanted to keep the calendar simple.
>> 4. Once a Volatility assessment is made, will this change either pre- or post- news?
Volatility is fixed. Good for you.
>> 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?
It's weighted average of data since Jan 2006. I spent months doing it manually.
>> Would love to see data there for the other years!
I'd love to, but the data provider doesn't share the archives with us.
>> 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.
Thanks for feedback. It's maybe bug in CSS rendering. I'll test on Mac when have chance.
>> 7. I see the preliminary vs final tags, but, I don't see any listings with these tags. Is this not implemented yet?
Not implemented yet. These are all finals. I'll consider it.
>> 8. Any plans to integrate this with an MT4 EA?
I don't have any plan for this yet. Automation is cool as long as you don't overuse it. I'll go with manual, hand-on trading for a while. With EA, many people will surely skip business logic, pass the enlightenment they should get, and come back here with question like "1 hour already but no trade?"
Thanks for dropping by this forum and give a lot feedbacks, billworld.
