In the financial markets, knowledge is power, but timing is everything. Economic indicators, central bank decisions, and geopolitical events can trigger massive volatility and create highly profitable trading opportunities within seconds. The Solid ECN Economic Calendar equips you with live, actionable macroeconomic data so you are never caught off guard.
How to Read the Economic Calendar:
Our calendar is designed to give you a clear, at-a-glance view of the trading week. Here is how to use it:
Time & Currency: See exactly when an event is scheduled (automatically adjusted to your local time zone) and which currency will be most impacted.
Impact Level (Volatility): Events are graded by importance. Focus on high-impact events (often marked with red or multiple icons), such as Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), CPI data, and Interest Rate decisions, as these cause the biggest market swings.
Previous vs. Forecast: Review what the data was last month (Previous) and what market analysts expect it to be this month (Forecast).
Actual Data: The moment the news is released, the ‘Actual’ column updates instantly.
Pro Trading Strategy: Trading the news requires discipline. Compare the “Actual” release to the “Forecast”. If the actual number is significantly better or worse than expected, it often creates a strong trend in the corresponding currency. Use our calendar to plan your entries, tighten your stop-losses before major announcements, or find breakout opportunities right after the release.
