Free Economic Indicators: COT report, US economic data and more!

[DarkMindFX]

Hey guys,

How it's going? Maybe you have some suggestions what kind of data you'd like to see there?

 

[Ace]

Hey DarkMind,

Is there a way to download the files in a zip file? Everytime I've tried to run the exe file it does nothing.

Thanks
Ace

UPDATE 2017.07.02
Hi Traders!

Update of the package is here! In the recent package you'll find:
1. New COT indicator - disaggregated commodities report where information is presented as for "Producer-Merchant-Processor-User","Swap Dealers", "Managed Money", "Other Reportables" and "Open Interest"
2. Open Interest is added to Regular COT report - so right now you can see both "Commercials/Non-Commercials/Speculators" AND "Open Interest" on the same chart
3. Some fixes and enhancements.

As usual the package is FREE and can be downloaded using the link in the original message at the beginning of this thread. The packages are available for three platforms - MetaTrader 4, NinjaTrader and cTrader.

Enjoy and Stay Tune - more to come!

ATTENTION! It seems like MT4 is not very optimal in working with custom indicators when they are referenced in your code. This causes in the significant decrease in the performance - according to my brief investigation MT4 loads the indicator on each call. So you can face some delay and application "freezing" when the custom indicator is added to terminal. Even though my indicators are caching the data which the download - but still, you can face the delays due to the fact that my indicators need to load the data from the net.

Is this Indicator still functional? I tried installing but it doesnt show DarkMind in the indicator list.
