Economic Calendar

An economic calendar is a tool that lists scheduled economic events, data releases, and announcements that can impact financial markets. It includes events like Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Federal Reserve (FOMC) meetings, Consumer Price Index (CPI) releases, GDP reports, and central bank interest rate decisions. Traders use it to plan their trades around potential market volatility.

Check the calendar before trading to identify high-impact events. Many prop firm traders avoid opening new positions 2-5 minutes before and after major releases like NFP or FOMC. Use the impact filter to focus on high-impact (red) events that cause the most volatility. The session indicators help you see which markets are active when events occur.

High-impact events are economic releases that typically cause significant market volatility. The most important include: Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) - released first Friday of each month, FOMC Interest Rate Decisions - 8 times per year, CPI Inflation Data - monthly, GDP Reports - quarterly, and Central Bank speeches. These events can move markets by 50-200+ pips within minutes.

The colored dots show which major forex sessions are active when each event occurs. Sydney (red) runs 10pm-7am UTC, Tokyo (yellow) 12am-9am UTC, London (green) 8am-5pm UTC, and New York (blue) 1pm-10pm UTC. Session overlaps (like London/New York) typically have higher liquidity and tighter spreads.
