Track market-moving economic events in real-time. Essential for fundamental analysis and news trading.
Red flag events like NFP, FOMC decisions, and GDP releases cause the most volatility. Consider reducing position sizes or staying out during these releases.
The market often moves based on whether data beats or misses expectations, not the absolute number. Watch the 'Forecast' vs 'Actual' columns.
Major moves often happen in the first 15-30 minutes after a release. Spreads typically widen during high-impact news, so factor this into your risk management.
High-impact news events can cause extreme volatility and widened spreads. Many experienced traders avoid opening new positions 30 minutes before and after major releases. If you do trade news, use appropriate risk management - consider smaller position sizes and wider stop losses.
