How to Use This Calendar

This calendar auto-adjusts to your device time. Use the filters above to select Impact (Medium/High) and Countries relevant to what you trade. Increase the widget height for more rows and readability.

  • Impact colors: Low = grey, Medium = yellow, High = red. Focus on red events for the largest volatility.
  • Country filter: Match your instruments (e.g., USD events for Gold/US indices; EUR for EURUSD; GBP for GBPUSD).
  • Before/After: Markets often price in forecasts before releases and re-price after surprises—watch both phases.

Key Releases to Watch

  • US CPI / Core CPI – inflation; moves USD, Gold, indices.
  • NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) – labor; big USD risk event.
  • FOMC / Rate Decisions – policy; shifts yields and risk.
  • PPI – upstream inflation pressure.
  • GDP – growth; trend confirmation/reversal fuel.
  • Retail Sales – consumer demand pulse.
  • PMI / ISM – activity snapshots, risk-on/off tone.
  • Jobless Claims – weekly employment momentum.

Session Context (Volatility Windows)

Volatility clusters around session opens and high-impact releases. Typical windows traders watch:

  • London open & overlap with Asia – FX liquidity jump.
  • New York equity open – US indices, XAUUSD, USD pairs.
  • Event minutes: 5–30 minutes before and after red events.

Practical Playbook

  • Plan the day: mark red events that touch your pairs or symbols.
  • Reduce risk or stand aside during the first spike if you don’t have a tested news approach.
  • Wait for the second move: the fade or continuation once spreads normalize.
  • Use precise sizing & management: partials, break-even, and trailing after 1R–4R moves.

Tips by Instrument

  • Gold (XAUUSD): US inflation, jobs, and Fed speakers are primary drivers.
  • US Indices (NQ/ES/YM): CPI, NFP, Retail Sales, ISM, and FOMC. Watch yields and DXY reaction.
  • Major FX: Match the base/quote currencies to the country list (e.g., GBP events for GBPUSD).

Risk & Execution

  • Expect wider spreads and slippage around releases; size smaller or use limits as your plan dictates.
  • Define invalidation before the number hits; don’t chase candles without a tested edge.
  • Log outcomes: surprise vs forecast, initial spike, second leg, and where your edge triggered.

Disclaimer
