I'm trying to feed my EA news information so it knows when to avoid entering the market. I've coded some subroutines to do that, and I'm using them in combination with a .csv file. Myfxbook seems to be an excellent source of news, and it allows you to filter by high and medium impact, and even displays time based on the broker time you select. I can use this to write a new input file every weekend, but this is rather tedious and error-prone. Is there a way to automatically export this data from myfxbook?
It'd be even easier if it was in this format, too:
2011.07.21 14:00;EUR EcoFin Meeting
2011.07.21 17:00;USD Bernanke Testifies
2011.07.22 04:30;AUD Import Price Index

There is an fxbook API...so I guess most things would be possible...
Ok, maybe not - I looked, didn't see anything pertaining to it, perhaps they can include it in the API.

It's ok, I found another site that makes the news exportable via csv file at logical URLs. I just coded some VBA excel macros to import the data for the week as a web query, perform the formatting I need, and store it as a .csv in the various locations I need to run my multiple terminal windows.
I know this is a quick and dirty solution, and not the most elegant, but it works and I got it all automated with single click.

If you want a more direct link, the data actually comes from Fxstreet.com

Very interesting. How do you decide what's an 'important' news? Based on the impact devised?

I'm using dailyFX's classification... anything 'medium' or 'high' importance according to them is 'important' to the EA.
And what happens when you're trading these events? Does you system fail? Maybe you should adjust your system for these specific periods, so you would run different versions of your system per different market scenarios.

Got it.
Did you automate the download process of the csv also? Or are you manually downloading the files each day/week?

It's semi-automatic. I wrote some VBA macros in excel to download the files from the site, format it appropriately, and export as a .csv copy in the file directory for each EA. Right now I'm running everything from a couple of ActiveX control buttons, one to fetch the data, and one to 'publish' it once I vet it. At some point I may just make the whole process a scheduled task so it's full-auto.
