An economic calendar for trading the news and more

News is incredibly important in stock trading, as it influences the price of virtually all traded assets.

Numerous strategies rely on news , and it should also be taken into account when planning new trades and managing existing positions.

Therefore, it's crucial to know about upcoming events in advance and react promptly to their release.

The release times of many upcoming news events are known in advance and displayed in a useful tool called an economic calendar.

Our website already offers one version - http://time-forex.com/kalendar , but it's always good to have an accessible alternative.

One brokerage company offers such an alternative, providing access to the FXStreet economic calendar.

Let's take a look at what this calendar offers and what information it can provide:

 
What features does this tool offer?

Nothing special, really, except the information presentation is a bit more user-friendly than some competitors, and you can change the time zone for news releases.

When you open the calendar, you'll see:

• Sorting news by period - today, tomorrow, week.
• Time of news release.
• Description of the event itself.
• Volatility that this event may cause on the market, or the strength of its influence on the trend.
• Indicator - actual, if the event has already occurred, forecast if there is a forecast and a previous one.

In addition, there is a simple filter in which you can select the country and date range when the expected event will occur.

The calendar itself is located on the Alpari website - https://alpari.com/ru/analytics/calendar_fxstreet/

There are also other analytical capabilities for trend analysis and forecasting future rates.
