How to Use the Economic Calendar

Step 1: Filter Events

Use the filter options to focus on specific countries, impact levels, or date ranges that are relevant to your trading strategy.

Step 2: Analyze Event Details

Review the event details, including the indicator name, previous value, forecast, and actual result (when available). Compare actual values with forecasts to gauge market reaction.

Step 3: Assess Impact

Pay special attention to high-impact events (red indicator), as these are most likely to cause significant market volatility. Medium-impact events (orange) may also move the market under certain conditions.

Step 4: Plan Your Trading

Use the calendar to plan your trading day or week. Consider adjusting your trading strategy around major economic releases, potentially reducing position sizes or staying out of the market during volatile announcements.

Understanding Economic Indicators

Growth Indicators

GDP, Retail Sales, Industrial Production, and Manufacturing PMI are key indicators of economic growth. These metrics provide insight into overall economic health and can significantly impact currency values.

Inflation & Rates

CPI, PPI, Central Bank Rate Decisions, and Policy Statements directly affect currency values. Inflation trends and interest rate changes are primary drivers of long-term forex trends.

Employment Data

Non-Farm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate, and Jobless Claims are critical employment indicators. Strong labor markets often lead to currency appreciation, while deteriorating employment can weaken a currency.
