Hello Everyone. I am creating a Forex algorithm, whereby my goal is to NOT trade during news events / close my positions before such events. I was looking on the forums most dated back in 2017 - 2019 stating the usage of the DailyFx class calendar to manage such macronews data. However upon searching the documentation and source code I can no longer find information on this. I was wondering if the DailyFx has been removed, if isnt I would appreciate a link to where I can read about its documentation. If it is in fact removed, I was wondering what would be the best way to be getting planned macro forex news, is there a different data provider which people are currently using or would I have to import custom data scrapped from somewhere on the internet. Thank you for any help here! (Also by planned macro events I mean events where the news date are stated in advance for example Annual GDP, Quarterly GDP etc which can be found on platforms like ForexFactory etc. )
