  Hi,

  I want to show Forex News Days (Say FOMC news 20170315) as indicator?

  If I have a file which has a list of FOMC news Dates, can I write indicator code to read this file from prorealtime and process dates and show these dates as 1 (indicator).

  Thanks,

  Karun

  Can we read or write to files in ProRealTime?

  Sorry but nothing can be imported into ProBuilder. You’ll have to make your own indicator with multiple dates conditions, here is a rough idea:

  //add FOMC dates and separate them with "OR" FOMC = date=20170403 or date=20170223 or date=20160523 if FOMC then test = 1 else test = 0 endif return test as "it's an FOMC day!"

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  //add FOMC dates and separate them with "OR" FOMC = date=20170403 or date=20170223 or date=20160523   if FOMC then test = 1 else test = 0 endif   return test as "it's an FOMC day!"
