Hello. Does anybody know how to get news messages? I'm using the following code,but no one news message comes in:

DateTime dt = DateTime.UtcNow;//current time
java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date(dt.Year - 1900, dt.Month - 1, dt.Day, dt.Hour, dt.Minute, dt.Second);

NewsFilter nf = new NewsFilter();
nf.setFrom(d);
nf.setTimeFrame(NewsFilter.TimeFrame.TODAY);
FClient.addNewsFilter(nf);

When I want to request today news and subscribe for real-time news should I use two filters (TODAY+ONLINE)? How can I specify keywords, symbols for searching news (the latest api 2.4.2 isn't allowed to create a new filter from the custom INewsFilter implementation)?

Thank you for the question. We have found a bug in the latest API. Fix will be available in a next release.

No, just one. Please consider this example:

      NewsFilter filter = new NewsFilter();        
      filter.setTimeFrame(NewsFilter.TimeFrame.TODAY);
      
      //set keywords
      Set<String> keywords = filter.getKeywords();
      keywords.add("MARKET TALK");
        
      client.addNewsFilter(filter);
      LOGGER.info("Subscribed : " + filter);

When you are subscribing for some specific historical messages, after you get them, the newest live messages will keep coming. So you don't need to create any additional filter.

Thank you for reply. I'll try again after new release.

Hello. I'm starting to use 2.6.1 but I see the same problem: I cannot get any news/calendar messgae (I expect they in onMessage(IMessage im) function) using code that was posted above. Could you post a simple workable example?

Hi,
previously posted code snippet need to be added in the main class main function. Consider please this:

      
                      . . .  
        LOGGER.info("Connecting...");
        //connect to the server using jnlp, user name and password
        client.connect(jnlpUrl, userName, password);

        //wait for it to connect
        int i = 10; //wait max ten seconds
        while (i > 0 && !client.isConnected()) {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            i--;
        }
        if (!client.isConnected()) {
            LOGGER.error("Failed to connect Dukascopy servers");
            System.exit(1);
        }

        //subscribe to the instruments
        Set<Instrument> instruments = new HashSet<Instrument>();
        instruments.add(Instrument.EURUSD);
        LOGGER.info("Subscribing instruments...");
        client.setSubscribedInstruments(instruments);

        //=======================================
        NewsFilter filter = new NewsFilter();
        filter.setTimeFrame(NewsFilter.TimeFrame.TODAY);
         
        Set<String> keywords = filter.getKeywords();
        keywords.add("MARKET TALK");
       
        client.addNewsFilter(filter);
        LOGGER.info("Subscribed : " + filter);
        //=======================================

        //start the strategy
        LOGGER.info("Starting strategy");
        client.startStrategy(new NewsMessageStrategy());
        //now it's running
    }

Thanks!

I added this code to the main class. And what should I do next to receive news? Is there any events that fires when news comes?
Can you provide code sample for receiving and logging values from this list? https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... ccalendar/

Hi,
