My EA for autonomous forex scalping robot

Integration with the News Filter

In your previous JSON fetching logic, simply pass the extracted date string into this function before assigning it to the danger window variable:

Code: Select all

// Inside CNewsFilter::FetchCalendar() after parsing the JSON node
string json_date_string = "2026-10-01T10:00:00-04:00"; // Extracted from JAson

m_next_danger_time = ParseISO8601ToBrokerTime(json_date_string);

PrintFormat("Next High-Impact Event localized to Broker Time: %s", TimeToString(m_next_danger_time));

A note on Daylight Saving Time (DST) gaps: Europe and the United States shift their clocks on different weekends. Because this function calculates the instantaneous broker offset dynamically, checking a Friday event on Monday during that weird 2-week DST gap might calculate 1 hour off. However, because your EA continuously refreshes the data, as the broker server rolls over the DST boundary, the dynamic TimeTradeServer() offset instantly recalculates, and your 30-minute danger window will snap to perfect accuracy before the actual event fires.
