FAQ
How do I read the economic calendar?
Each row is a data release or central bank event: time, country, impact, and the actual, forecast and previous values. A red time badge means high impact, dark grey medium, no fill low. Released events fade out and a red line marks the current time. Click an event to see what it measures, its past values, and how the market moved after each release.
How is the average 4-hour move after release calculated?
We take every release of the series in roughly the last two years and measure the related market's high-to-low range over the next 4 hours, in pips for FX and US dollars for gold, then report the average and the maximum. The “x normal” figure compares it with the same 4-hour window over the previous 20 trading days. “Closed higher” is the share of releases after which the price was higher 4 hours later.
If a number beats the forecast, will the market rise?
Not necessarily. Open an event to see how often the related market closed higher or lower 4 hours after above- and below-forecast releases. For many series the direction is unstable, so the statistics are better used to size the expected move and to set stops and targets around key levels.
Why does the previous value say “revised from”?
Agencies often revise the prior period when they publish a new one. The Previous column shows the revised figure, with the originally published number underneath.
How should I prepare for a release?
Check the volatility bar to gauge the likely size of the move, then open the market's key levels page to find support, resistance and the pivot. Place stops beyond the levels and avoid chasing price in the final minutes before the release. Short-term signals often appear around high-impact data.
