Economic Calendar Reminders

[Dinerotrader 10]

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.

Dinero - have you tried out OEC's RSS News Feed?

I haven't. I'll have to see what that feeds you.

Well, usually the g/friend feeds me. How about you?

I have tried Trade The News - Live Audio Breaking Market News Analysis and Futures Calls and it is really really good and not so expensive : 50$/month for highlights

[lionelhhn 10]

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

For economic announcements I use seeking alpha dot coms market currents http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents?source=headtabs. I subscribe to the rss feed then filter it to include only the news I want. Also try out yahoo pipes to filter your other rss feeds http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/

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.
