How to Use the Economic Calendar
About Pairmetric's Economic Calendar
Economic events often trigger short bursts of volatility as new data is priced in, which can widen spreads and accelerate price moves in the affected currencies, indices or commodities. Checking the calendar before you trade helps you anticipate these moments, whether you plan to trade around a release or prefer to wait until the market has settled before opening a position on MetaTrader 5.
Economic Calendar FAQs
An economic calendar lists the scheduled economic data releases, central bank announcements and other events that can influence financial markets, along with the date and time each one is due.
The calendar covers the world's major economies, including the G20 nations and the Eurozone, so you can follow the events most relevant to the currencies and markets you trade.
Each event is marked with an importance level indicating how much impact it has historically had on the markets - high-importance events are generally the ones most likely to cause noticeable price movement.
Reviewing upcoming high-importance events lets you anticipate periods of potential volatility, so you can decide whether to trade around a release, adjust your risk management, or wait until the market has settled.
Yes - the economic calendar is available free of charge to everyone, with no login or Pairmetric account required.
