Economic Calendar Event Data API
18 Mar 2021, 21:03


MetaTrader5 has integrated direct access to calendar data in their API. This is painfully missing in cTrader.

Having a built-in function

protected override void OnNewsEvent(NewsEvent event)

called at a defined amount of time prior to the event would be fantastic (and not very hard to code since the economic calendar is already integrated in cTrader).
If this would be available for backtesting as well, you could save a lot of work and trouble.
