Trading Discussion News and Economy
1

Once upon a time, I stumbled across a site that listed a schedule of the next week/months worth of economic data releases. It also had an indicator showing how much the market usually reacts to surprises in this data.

For example
15:30 US CPI, prev 0.5%, estimated 0.3%, [U]reaction ****[/U]
18:40 BOJ Rate decision prev 1.0, estimated 1.25, [U]reaction *****[/U]
02:30 New Fall Lineup for BBC, [U]reaction *[/U]

Anyway, I lost the bookmark. Anybody happen to know which site this was, or possibly a site that does something similar? Thx

Hey, I like that one even better. I’m assuming those times are EST.

You should be able to change it to whatever your time zone is, from the calender options.

Hey thats cool, it even has a little description of the report and why traders react to it strongly/weakly! Very glad I checked out this thread.

BTW, do you know what kind of time-delay it’s on? I have no intention of using it for news trading, just curious here :smiley:

I don’t think there’s a delay. A little refresh icon comes up a few minutes before the news announcement and you can hit that until it’s announced.
