Does anyone know where to get premium economics calendar?

From what i understand, there are institutes that have the license to release data to their premium members 1 min b4 it is released to the general public.

Any idea where to get them?

that is only for a couple of pieces of data a month, the rest of the time they get at the same time.

those feeds are reuters and bloomberg you will find the fees prohibitive if that is all you will use if for or unless you trade a large account

depends on your needs i would say.

Generally yes, the free one would do.

I have been using the free one.

But after observing how markets move prior to the release, i feel that it would be something useful to have.

Contrary to popular belief, the price action you see leading into major news events is not caused by traders who have advanced knowledge of it.
Since many traders avoid trading at these times, liquidity is lower therefore the market reacts faster to clusters of orders.
Many large traders lift their positions just before these events, "just in case" it goes against them.
Smaller traders also tend to tighten their stops en mass before big news releases.
This all creates clusters of orders in the same place in the same direction, which hit the market at its quietest time.
This is why price can surge sharply in one direction moments before a release - even if the news itself suggests it should go the other way.

But thanks for reminding me.
Still would like to try out the premium service.

You can only vouch for someone when you have 4 vouchers yourself
So I have often wondered myself how the first 4v appeared from the primordial ooze that is forex factory
My theory is it happened kind of like the movie Gremlins, Merlin got wet and started shooting off hideous clones of himself which were not only covered in thick green slime but also had 4 vouchers each.

Take a look to Alpha Flash. Monthly subscription fee is 250.00 EURO, which is low in comparison with Reuters. Feed is blazing fast and machine readable.

As has already been said it depends on your needs, do you really need it the same millisecond it's released or can you wait 1-2 seconds? If you want it "now" as, within a second or so, try talking-forex.com - way, way cheaper and they "squawk" the headlines and numbers as they read it off the expensive news sources. As far as releasing earlier, yes there are certain numbers that are released earlier to paying subscribers... I think this is mostly the PMI numbers. Relatively few compared to those released at uniform times. And it's widely believed...
thanks for your input.
