What is the economic calendar - quick reference?

High-impact macro events that move forex pairs by 50+ pips in seconds. Knowing the schedule prevents holding a position into a black-swan release.

When to use it

Daily - flat or hedge before the event window opens. Some traders fade the initial spike; others wait for the smoke to clear.

Formula

No formula - pure event-risk awareness. Use the live calendar at /calendar.

Worked example

US NFP: first Friday of every month, 8:30am NY. Typical USD impact: 30–80 pips within the first 30 seconds.

FAQ

Should I trade the news?

Most retail traders should not. Spreads widen 5–10× on release, slippage is severe, and stop-hunts are routine. Wait 5 minutes for the dust to settle.
