As I do not like DLLs, I have modified the EconNews2 indicator from the download section and customized it for my needs. There was a minor bug, which could be resolved quickly, and it seems to work now. Chart and indicator attached.

Glad if anybody wants to test it. This version is adapted to dark backgrounds, so you may need to change the colors to suit your needs.

Hey Fattails, this works pretty well.

For some reason the alerts never work on this version or the other versions except the original on NT6.5?

Is there something special I must do w/ nt7?

You are awesome!

I have not checked the alerts yet. If I find some time, I will have a look at the alerts.

Have contacted @j0hnth0m, the author:

He now provides a direct link to the fixed version:

https://johnthomcom.web702.discountasp.net/files/jtEconNews2a.zip

The "on-chart" version of the indicator will be maintained as open code, the other version, where the news are added in an external box is only available as DLL.

Hi John,

I have had a nasty crash today, and I could track it back to this indicator, which has cost me about 2 hours searching.

I am running Windows XP 32 bit with NT 7.0.1000 Beta 3. I have installed the indicator jtEconNews2a, which I have directly downloaded from your website. The indicator is not running on any chart and is not part of any workspace, but it is contained in my indicator directory and is therefore part of the compiled NT program library, which is called NinjaTrader.Custom.dll.

The indicator compiles well, but after compiling NinjaTrader will crash on the first attempt to open the indicator dialogue box. Applies to any chart and/or workspace.

This happens only if

- jtEcoNews2a is installed
- the FOREXFactory server is down (on Saturday)
- with NT 7.0.1000.3 Beta (did not have any problems with NT 7.0.1000.2)

To produce the problem, add jtEconNews2a to a new NinjaTrader install (or any other install). To solve the problem remove jtEconNews2a.

A friend running XP 64 with NT 7.0.1000.3 did not have the problem, I will now test it on my other machine:

Edit: Tested on my Vista notebook. Same problem, indicator will cause NinjaTrader freeze, even if not used. It is definitely a dangerous indicator.
