Hanover's calendar scraper for forexfactory for historical reference. These are all the original files from "Plot News v4-15.zip" and also any new releases to those files will be uploaded here.
just go to the "releases" page to get the most up to date binaries and source as released from hanover. the news event archive csv (historical news from 2007) is also available there.
See "Plot News v4 - operating instructions.pdf"
most of the relevant files will be in the folder \MQL4\Files
and also some user feedback in the original FF thread
Historical news events from 2007 are already scraped and kept in a separate csv archive file, also available in "releases" section. Default FF timezone is New York City timezone.
If the archive filename matches what is in the news downloader.exe settings, it will automatically append scraped data to the csv file. So make sure you scrape backwards far enough to capture all the missing/stale data to avoid gaps.
comments/issues can be written here or in the forexfactory thread: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=549773
All credit goes to Hanover He is not very active anymore, but may fix the occassional bug if the main scraper becomes broken. It's pretty stable and should only break if FF changes the page format.
