FTMO Trading Calendar Updater

Automate your trading schedule by automatically scraping FTMO for cTrader maintenance updates and adding them to a dedicated Google Calendar.

Features

• Automated Scraping : Uses BeautifulSoup to fetch the latest trading updates from FTMO.
• Intelligent Parsing : Leverages the Gemini AI to accurately extract multiple event dates and times from unstructured text.
• Dedicated Google Calendar : Automatically finds or creates a sub-calendar named "Trading" to keep your events organized.
• Duplicate Prevention : Checks the calendar to ensure the same event is never added twice.
• Secure : Keeps your API keys safe using a .env file.
• Customizable : Easily change the keywords to track different platforms or events.

Configuration

By default, the script is configured to detect maintenance for cTrader and crypto . You can customize this by editing the KEYWORDS list at the top of the main.py file:

# main.py

# ...
KEYWORDS = ['maintenance', 'crypto market is closed', 'ctrader']
# ...

Setup Instructions

1. Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• A Google Account

2. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Bogzx/AutoFtmoCalendar
cd AutoFtmoCalendar

3. Install Dependencies

This project uses a requirements.txt file to manage its dependencies. Install them using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure API Keys and Environment

You will need an API key from Google's Gemini AI.

1. Create a .env file : Copy the example file:

   cp .env.example .env

1. Add your API Key : Open the new .env file and paste in your API key.

   GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

5. Configure Google Calendar API

You only need to do this once.

1. Enable the API & Download Credentials : Follow the official Google guide to enable the Google Calendar API and download your credentials.json file.
2. Move the file : Place the downloaded credentials.json file in the root of the project directory.

6. First Run & Authorization

The first time you run the script, it will open a browser window to ask for permission to access your Google Calendar.

python main.py

After you grant permission, a token.json file will be created. This will keep you logged in for future runs.

Usage

To run the script manually, simply execute the main.py file.

python main.py

For automated daily checks, you can set up a cron job on a Linux server.
