https://www.alphavantage.co/ I'm working on intergrating an API through this provider. They seem to have all of the volatility data one could need. I took a break from this mission for personal reasons but I am back, hopefully we can create a solution

This provider was recommended by chat gpt and seems to be completely free

@OntradingX @sktsec I think I am onto something

(steps so far)

1. Create google doc
2. Choose a cell, then follow path --> INSERT > SMART CHIPS > FINANCE > Type in EVZ ( its the CBOE Eurocurrency Volatility Index we use here).

I have checked the values and they match the values shown on barchart website, so it is possible to get the accurate values on google sheets/ excel

Next stage is creating a readble variable in fxdreema

@sktsec This is a very smart concept.

I actually think I may have an idea or two from this, so I will play around for some time.

I will start with google sheets and then see if excel makes things easier.

Once I make some progress, I will report here

@OntradingX @sktsec thanks for the support so far!

Hi coders,

I am looking to create a webrequest from https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$EVZ/interactive-chart , in order to extract the EVZ value into a local variable.

I would use the value in combination with condition blocks, to determine the level risk I place on a given trade!.

Specifically, I want to extract the Circled Number as shown in the screenshot.

Thanks for the support!

Understood... Have you been able to come up with another solution? I have been using time filters and simply setting real life reminders when its near DST adjustment

I have thought about possibly using webrequest, like many here have done with news avoidance, as well as some sort of on timer function but all have been failed attempts

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was a way to isolate the closing time of a given market as a variable?

I am looking for this as I keep having issues with time filters when trading indices as a daily timeframe trader, especilaly when daylight saving comes into affect and messes up my entrytime for my algos.

Another rwason I am lookin for this is because I use multiple brokers and particularly for indices, the trading times close hours apart, even for the same asset. For example, the UK closes at 12Am servertime on 8CAP, and 11PM On ICMarkets.

This has an impact on my results from backtesting and so if anyone has any solutions I would really appreciate it

@jstap after getting a long signal on nzdcad, your reccomended fix worked perfectly, as easy as you made it appear
thanks for your dedicated work!

Thanks for the quick response,

Yeah, I meant Daylight saving time, thanks for clearing that up. I am going to trial this until i get new entries and I'll come back and let you/anyone who needs this know if this works.

Thanks again

Hi Experts,

I am a swing trader and I look to enter and exit trades 20 minutes before the end of the daily candle close.

I am having the problem where my EA is suddenly opening trades an hour later, messing up my entries completely.

I was thinking there may be some variable that toggles when DST is in effect but I am not sure where to begin.

Please advise if you can!
