The FXstreet calander uses GMT times only.

The Forex Factory calander uses whatever time you have set as local here.

Click the time near the top of the calander page and you can adjust the timezone it is displayed for.

are you talking about the CBI report? im pretty sure the FF calendar is right on that one, but im not 100% until it comes out

btw, overall i think the FF calendar is the most accurate forex calendar out there. we have a dedicated 5 man team (all the guys with "FFAT" in their avatar) whoes #1 priority is to ensure the reliability of the calendar. they do an amazing job if you ask me calendar is always accurate and up to the minute with the latest info
Relax and be happy.

Hi Merlin and everybody,

As you were talking about my calendar, I thought I should show up and defend myself

I agree with Merlin that FF's calendar is one of the best in the market - dailyfx.com and fxstreet.com are playing hard ball too regarding Economic Calendar - but this time I must say that talking about CBI, FXstreet's Economic Calendar was right and FF was wrong on this one

Again, following FF's calendar keeps you very much updated about all important economic releases

hello francesc! nice to see you on the FF forums finally!!

if i remember correctly, fxstreet had the CBI report scheduled for a tuesday oct 30 release. FF had it scheduled for thursday nov 1st, which is the actual day it came out. correct me if im wrong!

ok now i have to ban you for promoting your site on the forums:

i just double checked and the CBI definetely came out on nov 1st as scheduled on FF calendar.

hmm, looking at the fxstreet calendar, you guys moved it from oct 30 to nov 1st. when this thread was started, you guys had it scheduled on oct 30 :

The current free offerings you guys all provide are awesome.

And it's great to see you both taking the accuracy so seriously too.

So I'm almost sure that... we're talking about different weeks!

If you check the two weeks, there were two different CBI reports that were correctly displayed on both calendars. I'm pretty sure we didn't move any dates and I suppose FF didn't also

Week oct 28th - nov 3rd

All the best

that quote that you have by ameritrini, he actually had it backward. i remember noting this when i was checking the two calendars, there was no event on fxs for thurs that was on ff for tues. CBI was the only thing close, and it was backward from what he had said.

anyway, both calendars had it right when all said and done

francesc, very glad you could stop by my friend. i will make sure to make lots of bad comments about fxs to bring you here more often:

btw, i hear the ITC went very well! i read all about it on your blog i can definitely see that becoming a big hit in the future. possibly i will attend the next

hope to see ya around here more!

I agree the FF calendar is the best. it doesn't have everything single news release but really it's having the most important ones that matter. No one does it better than FF on that.

Hi Merlin and everybody

I use to follow FF very closely.... maybe because it is the best FX Forum on the net?

ITC 2007 went extraordinary well. Everybody was very happy with the education model we proposed, speakers and the warm athmosfere we all created together.

We are now deciding what to do next. As you already know, I´m thinking in doing something in the US and I would love to get FF involved, but not sure if the costs to do something affordable in NY will eat us all.

If we were going to go for an ITC in Barcelona and/or NY next year, you are very welcome to attend as my personal guest. I would also love to have you delivering a speech, I´m sure the crowd would be very interested into know the guy behind FF.

Hi again

Sorry to bother but I didn´t use the right words to express myself

I shouldn´t have said " I use to check FF"... I should have said "I usually check"

So I did check FF in the past, I´m checking it now and I´ll keep doing so in the future.

Thanks

Francesc

Hi Jamie, I use Forex Factory’s calendar http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php

I have been using this for quite a long time, and I think it is the best calendar out there as far as news events that relate to the currency markets.

On the other hand, a bird never flew on one wing (yeah, as opposed to 'the bird has flown', 'the birds and the bees' and 'strictly for the birds' ) so I keep my eyes on another calendar http://www.forexrazor.com/en-us/calendar.aspx which I have to say is pretty fast in serving up news data.

My recommendation would be that you use both of them, or should I say my recommendation is always be on the look-out for the best trading tools that suit your style, and mix and match accordingly.

Anyways, have you noticed ('cus I have), the effect that high-impact news has on spreads? Seems the fresher the news, the wider the spread. Oh hang on, I've a good one, "the fatter the cat the longer the whiskers" (...no, me neither).

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 out so late?
Which calendar is the best for use?
