About the economic calendar

The economic calendar is a trading tool that helps traders track and analyze major events and predict future price trends. It lists upcoming national and global international news events in chronological order and by date.

These major events can have a huge impact on financial markets and are usually announced and released in the form of reports, including monetary policy decisions, economic indicators, GDP data, non-farm payroll data, interest rate decisions, etc.

We notify traders before major events, news and data releases, so that traders know when events occur and which symbols may be affected. You can view these notifications in the "Mailbox" tab of your trading platform. Please note that financial news and economic indicators have different effects on different varieties.
