Since VS_EuroCross_D05 come with FFCAL Indicator, I add some external variables to use FFCAL Indicator. In VS_EuroCross_D05, the use of FFCAL indicator is integrated in the trading time function. As the news filter, the main thing that you have to do is deciding minutes for news before and after.
Below the list of external variable that you have to set to use FFCAL indicator. However please remember that VS_EuroCross_D05 comes with 2 MQ4 files, VS_EuroCross_D05.Mq4 and VS_EuroCross_D05_NonFFCal.Mq4.
extern bool NewsFilter =false;
It is the first thing that you have to change. Set its value to True to use FFCAL indicator.
extern int MinBeforeNewsCloseAction=15;
Set the minutes before news for closing all open positions. Default value is 15 minutes.
extern int MinBeforeNewsNoTrade=60;
Set the minutes before news to tell expert stop executing any trade.
extern int MinAfterNewsToTrade=120;
Set the minutes after news to allow expert execute a trade.
extern bool IncludeMediumImpact=false;
Including medium impact news or not.
However you can't filter out the news by its Country.

However... I tested the FFcal set to true and I see no practically no difference in trade results on back testing... anyone else get any different results while FFcal = true? I tested with Alpari UK 2009.01.10 - 2009.02.10 (this a month this year that this EA doesn't perform as good as other months) spread=2.8 when tested. (if test with spread 6 then results are very bad (break even, yo-yo). Will the news really effect this EA during 22-5 (GMT +1)???s

Can be FFCAL used in backtest mode?
"Will the news really effect this EA during 22-5 (GMT +1)???s"
High impact news (sometimes even medium) can easily spike PA and take EAs SL position. During my live testing (demo) of eurocross such event occured only once. One position hit SL.
I don't know if there is a news indicator that can be used in backtest. I think at the moment the only way to test news effect, that put all those event in the trading time function.
Does anyone else gat this eror: "2009.08.05 19:38:15 FFCal EURCHF,M15: News Indicator is disabled because NO CONNECTION to Broker!"
i couldn't download the file too...Says link not valid when I try to download..please, fix it.
