condition problem w/ tsd newsfilter

1. fulltilt:
   it should only start trading 5 min after high impact, can anyone help?

   datetime AfterNews = NewsTimes[i] + MinsSincePrevHighNews*60; 

   What part of MinsSincePrevHighNews was not understandable and what did you set it to?

   ---

2. bool News() 
      :
      return(1);

   News() returns a bool not an int. You should be using return(true).
   

thanks, MinsSincePrevHighNews -> BeforeNews was set to "0" ... but do I need it to allow trading after a high impact only?

is this also working in backtest? If I start running a BT the csv files being downloaded to /tester/files

bool News() 
{
   if (AvoidNews)   
   {   
       Check_News_Calendar();     
       for (int i=0; i<=NewsTotal; i++) 
       {
         if (NewsRatings[i] == 3) 
         {
           datetime BeforeNews = NewsTimes[i] - MinsUntilNextHighNews*60;
           datetime AfterNews = NewsTimes[i] + MinsSincePrevHighNews*60;
           datetime TradeNews = NewsTimes[i] + TradeMinsSincePrevHighNews*60; //==>new input
         } 
         else if (NewsRatings[i] == 2) 
         {
           BeforeNews = NewsTimes[i] - MinsUntilNextMediumNews*60;
           AfterNews = NewsTimes[i] + MinsSincePrevMediumNews*60; 
         } 
         else if (NewsRatings[i] == 1) {
           BeforeNews = NewsTimes[i] - MinsUntilNextLowNews*60;
           AfterNews = NewsTimes[i] + MinsSincePrevLowNews*60;
         }        
         if ((TimeCurrent() >= BeforeNews && TimeCurrent() <= AfterNews)) //MinsSincePrevHighNews>TradeMinsSincePrevHighNews
         {   
           if (High_Impact && NewsRatings[i] == 3) 
           {
             if(TimeCurrent()>=TradeNews && TimeCurrent()< TradeNews + 20)//20 seconds to Open
                     {
                      NewsF = "Open News Trade";
                      return(1);
                     }        
             NewsF = "Avoiding to Open";
             return(0);
           }          
/*           if (Medium_Impact && NewsRatings[i] == 2) 
           {                       
             NewsF = "Avoiding Medium Impact News!";
             return(0);
           }          
           if (Low_Impact && NewsRatings[i] == 1) 
           {          
             NewsF = "Avoiding Low Impact News!";
             return(0);
           }
*/          
         }            
         NewsF = "No News to filter!";
         return(1);
       }           
   }
   if (!AvoidNews) 
   {
     NewsF = "News Filter off!";
     return(1);
   }
   return(1);
}



//  Input somewhere else
if(Trades this EA < 1 && NewsF == "Open News Trade"){STARTTRADING}

TSD Newsfilter is in my opinion only good for pointing the times when news comes

Have made something similar for DailyFX calendar is updated regulary

wow looks good, would you share it?
