Hello anybody ). Advise what economic calendar is best used for fundamental analysis? I noticed that in some calendars there is a discrepancy in the time the news was released. For example, last week, on Thursday published: GBP - 30-y Bond Auction. The calendar fxstreet this news came out at 16:32. The calendar on investing.com this news came out at 13:35. And on the calendar forexfactory this news came out at 13:34. At all these websites I have set in setting the time zone GMT +3. In the last two almost equal time, but why fsstreet this news came...

Have you asked yourself about if it makes a sense for trader who are in the bed at time of news release? That's why there are trading sessions, and that's why there is a general session template on which market reacts on fundamental event. I don't go through the hassle of seeking quickest news feed, I just using general Hotforex economic calendar and try to get a notion of what was the aftermath for example for JApan session and try to impose it on London or New york..

There is a extra time setting called DST (Daylight savings) which causes to add 1 hours to my GMT+2 time, FF has this option for you to disable or enable. I believe not all calendar providers has this and you need to know this if you want to use them to avoid any surprises ...

It comes down to preference.
I personally feel forexfactory's calendar is the best economic calendar out of all.

I'm a new member and I'm not yet eligible to create threads, so I thought this might be a good thread to bump to ask a question I desperately need an answer for.

I'm been trading on a demo account for the last couple weeks, trying to familiarize myself with the FX world. I've managed to pull in a steady profit (of fake money, of course) simply trading off the economic calendar indicators, but this practice has come with an annoyance I need to ask about.

As I'm waiting for a countdown for a particular economic event outcome, I've noticed that the market will sometimes begin to react sharply several moments before the actual outcome has been released. Is there a reason for this? Is there some economic calendar that is quicker to the punch than others? How is it that traders are already making moves on the press release before the outcome's release?

It's been kind of frustrating so far. I'd appreciate any insight into this matter.

Thank you!

Hi,

This is for Merlin and his 5 man team dedicated to maintaining the FF Economic Calendar.

I noticed about one month ago that the GBP currency pairs spiked over 100 pips in 5 minutes but I could not find any news events on the FF Calendar that could have caused it. Then today at 07:00PM (GMT) the 15 min candle of GBPNZD moved 84 pips and the EURNZD moved 66 pips which I suspected may be a reaction to some news events but there were no news events at that time today on the FF Calendar. So my question is, do you know if there were any news events at that time today, Thursday 15 July, that were not listed on the FF Economic Calendar? If there were no news events then do you have any idea what could be the cause of the spike in those currencies at that time?

Thanks and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Thanks vvFish, although the high impact NZD CPI q/q news event occurred 3 hours after the spike maybe there is a possibility that it was listed as a tentative event then when it actually occurred the time was updated to the time in the image you posted.

Its better to use several and compare the news data and time of release each time you need, because we have no monopoly on this type of service so use all of them, don't create monopolists
