Economic Calendar Reminders

Recommended Posts

Has anyone figured out a way to get economic news events automatically set as reminders on your computer so you don't have to manually set any of them. I'd also be interested in picking and choosing which news events I wanted reminders for.

 

I use outlook for all my reminders right now so my hope is there is a way to get some sort of auto import of those reminders into outlook. I just don't want to spend any time on things that can be automated.

Econoday offers a service you can buy that puts them on your Outlook calendar automatically.

I've never used it, so not sure if you can customize or not.

 

Thanks a million BF. Here are some prices they have for varying levels of reminder data. I'll probably get this unless someone knows of something else that is cheaper.

 

This brings up another question. If I want to find out the economic news as fast as possible, where or how do I get it?

you have to subscribe to Bloomberg or something like that.

 

but don't ever think that the speed of obtaining announcements will give you an edge in trading...

Not the most informative answer but I appreciate the effort.:)

Just curious, what makes you believe this idea?

Looking at the pricing, I would get the Market Moving Events for 19.95/mo. That should give you the events that have stars, which is typically the events you want to be aware of.

 

I don't know anyone that does anything like Econoday. They are very good at what they do and I reference it every morning. As you know, I'll trade before/during/after news (except oil inventory) so I just like to know what's going on and when. Some would probably use it to remind themselves when not to trade.

Hi Dinero,

I keep this indicator on atleast one of my active charts on Ninjatrader.

It pulls data from Forexfactory. We can set how many minutes in advance we want it to alert us.

 

I know you are on OEC right now, but this might help someone else. :)

If this is done via EasyLanguage it might transport into OEC.

Here's one Ive used regularly for the last 3-4 years. Its not perfect in terms of immediate updates of actual numbers . Its free and i get all the upcoming news i need.

Open it , minimise it and thats all. I set mine up for 5 mins so just before the news release the alarm goes off. On the actual release it will pop up the release. Plus the bells goes off. hahaha

the answer from Tams was the most informative in this thread. If you dont see it - it doesnt actually mean it is not.

 

The essense is - all the news efficiently have been traded by professional trading desks around the world way before you get them.

This is an interesting comment and one that frankly I did not expect to read here...

 

For Maxima;

 

Actually Sir or Madam, the "news" in terms of scheduled economic report releases comes in various "flavors"...that is to say, there are reports that are released on a rigorous schedule and cannot be seen in advance, and then there are reports that are released in advance to "subscribers"....Those of us who do this for a living know which is which and as the gentleman has stated, we plan our moves in advance...I guess the only thing I would like to correct is the timing...actually Maxima, most professional offices have an idea of what the report bias will be and we establish our longer term market position anywhere from 10 days to a month ahead of the release, and then we trade around it as the "event" draws near....Splitting the trade this way allows us to hedge and lay off risk when we feel we might be wrong, and to add deltas when we want more risk exposure....Now I wonder if anyone will get this and comment? Oh well. (once again I refer people to Ben Warwick's excellent book on Event Trading).

 

Good luck everyone.

    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
