Feature — Economic Calendar
Economic Calendar
Never miss a market-moving economic event. Track FOMC, CPI, NFP, GDP, and more with impact ratings and forecast comparisons.
What It Is
The economic calendar tracks upcoming and past economic events including Federal Reserve meetings (FOMC), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), GDP releases, and dozens of other macro data points. Each event shows impact rating, previous value, consensus forecast, and actual result when released.
Why It Matters
Economic events are the most predictable source of market volatility. Knowing when CPI drops or when the Fed announces rate decisions lets you position accordingly or reduce exposure. The calendar integrates directly into your workspace alongside charts and positions.
