Economic calendar

A macro news calendar inside the journal: economic events filtered by currency and impact, shown in YOUR time zone. Plan the session without leaving for another site.

The essentials

  • Range tabs: last week, yesterday, today, this week and next week.
  • Filter by currencies (USD, EUR, GBP…) and by impact: High, Medium, Low.
  • Each event shows Actual, Forecast and Previous — the surprise between Actual and Forecast is what moves price.

How to read an event

Impact
High = can move the market violently (NFP, CPI, rate decisions). Medium and Low are usually noise unless the surprise is big.
Forecast vs Actual
The market prices in the forecast. If the Actual number comes out very different, that's where the volatility is.
Previous
The prior period's number — context to tell whether the metric is improving or worsening.

Tips

  • Check the calendar before your session: if there's a High-impact release on your pair's currency, decide beforehand whether you trade the news or stay out.
  • Combine it with your risk rules: many prop firms restrict trading minutes before and after high-impact news.
