I would like to have something that can send me an alert of an upcoming economic event say 30min in advance to my iphone, either in the form of an app or maybe something that I can install to my iPhone calendar.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks for the info, Jibala. I had tried it and see all the news fed into the rss reader. However correct me if I am wrong but I do not think that we can set alert to receive notification of upcoming news prior to its release?

If there is no alarm function in the RSS Reader available, you can try to import the xml file to your regular calendar. Maybe it needs to convert into another format first. If all doesn't work or it means to much work have a look for this one:

Hello Matt.... check out https://nextfx.io

I shared the same frustration when I first started FX trading... I could use my Bloomberg/ Reuters (in my bank) but outside of work it's very difficult to keep track.

Hence I decided to simply build sth on my own. I have a very simply web-based economic calendar that supports SMS/ email notification. It's free and you can customize which events to be notified.

For now I have only managed to make it send notification upon actual release. But I am also looking to enable notification before the event say 15/30mins. Let me know how long ahead of the event you would like to get the notification.... I personally like 15mins?

hi Nextfx, saw the site; it's cool but currently it is more for actual notification? Yup if it can notify 15/20min before will be better. However see that it is via sms... Then there will be costs involved which will be passed to the subscribers. Wouldn't it be cheaper to do an app which send notifications?

Hello Matt... the site currently is only for notification. You can select what economic events you would like to receive notification. I have just added the function to notify 10mins before the event and at the actual release, so it should fit your purpose.

Right now the site does not charge for SMS given it's relatively cheap.... but in any case you can select to only receive email notification. As long as you have like an Gmail app on your phone w/ notification switched on, it shall work?

I thought about App too. But not sure if anyone would really need that sort of function. Coz to build an App it's actually quite costly (in terms of time and complexity) haha

hi nextFX,

sorry for the late reply. you mentioned that i can select the economic events; that is based on the country I presume? i just received the SMS notifications; that's cool. i didn't normally on my email notification but guess that's good advice that i can explore! by the way you mentioned that SMS is cheap?even to other countries? i didnt know that

Hello Matt

No worries. Good to know it helps you.

The customization is based on each news/ event. Once you're logged into https://app.nextfx.io go into "Economic Data". You will see the calendar and on the far right of each news, you can click on the star to receive notification.

Right now you need to do a free search e.g. "this week" or use filtering function to filter for news you would like to see/ star. I am working on a function to "one click star all".

SMS is a roughly like 0.01-5 USD each (I need to double check); but it's a cheaper option until there are enough users for an app. My friend & I built this for ourselves but for now we are just happy to share that unless there are like hundreds of users causing us thousands of SMS every day

Btw I'm Sam XD nice to meet you!
