Hi all, last update files on google-drive september 2022.
Will the folder be updated in the future?
Is it possible to upload such files from forexfactory on my own? How?

do we have to set the time offset if we are using it live?
No, it should detect timezone automatically.
Launch the EA and draw news on chart (button on panel), then compare news with https://www.forexfactory.com/calendar
They must match.

I'm using the "H1" timeframe for testing and live trading.
Please find my folder structure and EA settings in the following screenshots:
I've got it! It is because you start testing at the end of month. It skips file for August.
I've already fix this, will be available in the next version.
For now, please, set the start date to 01.08.2022.
Show me please your "C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files\" folder and News settings from the Inputs tab.
What time interval do you use for testing?

My MT5 doesn't want to load the news files. I kopied them into the proper directory but he keeps skipping them. I am using august 26th as the test date. The strategy tester calls the symbol "EURUSD" but in the CSV file, they are called "EUR" and "USD". Could that be the problem?
Do the news files have to have a special file name?
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the error message:
