How to download news events source file from Myfxbook

The ASCENDO Economic calendar news events indicators use a .csv file as input to show the news events on your charts.

If you choose Myfxbook as the source, please follow these instructions to get the required .csv file.

1. Go to the Myfxbook website.
2. You need to log on to your Myfxbook account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free.
3. Once you are logged to your account, click on your account number or avatar at the top right of the page.
   
   
   1. Then click on Settings.

   3. Set the Timezone to (GMT) Western Europe Time, London, Lisbon, Casablanca.
