Hi @tuner ,

As a matter of fact, the files are created in the directory in which the .jar is located.

If the application is launched from another application, it may entail the behaviour that you have noticed.

Could you try to correct this issue in your WinAPI call, by specifying the working directory. I am not familiar with WinAPI, but it seems possible ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )

I don't know if this information is posted somewhere here in futures.io but today you can download past and future economical events in CVS format from the following site:

https://econevents.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/

Hi,
I found this thread and this is exactly what I was looking for, I tried the downloader and it says he downloaded and parsed all the data but the files are both empty, any ideas?

Thanks Mario

Hi,

Forex Factory often changes the format of its data. So my program has probably become obsolete , and I am not in position to maintain it. The previous messages may give some pointers to other solutions.
