Economic Calendar

Earlier, actually in the last post i wrote about importance of knowing what economic data that affect Forex market will be relased and when. This information alone can save you a lot of pain, because, after some key economic indicators are relased, prices in just few minutes can go +200 pips up, and then out of sudden 300 pips down.

This mainly affects day traders or scalpers, and the EUR\USD currency pair. I belive there are many ways you can deal with market moving indicators, but i will list two of my ideas i have came up with:
  • Few minutes before economic data announcement hedge your position.
  • Not all Forex brokers allows to hedge, if yours not, then you can close your position before data release and open a new one after market will "calm down".
And obviously do not make new trades (other then hedges) before economic data announcement.

More over important economic data dictates trend of the market, so you can use it for simple Forex fundamental analysis.

But the most important question here is, where do i get this data and how will i know which is important and which is not? My all time favourite source for economic data is bloomber economic calendar, which you can find here: ECalendar.

I like this calendar because, it places icon next to particular event, which tells me how important this event is, so i do not have to make my own research on every single event.

From my experience i can tell you that, two events responsible for the biggest moves are: Employment situation and FOMC meeting.

technical analysis of currency
US Stock Market
Wall Street finished Thursday’s trading in the green following Wednesday’s Christmas break. With both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones already trading at all-time-highs, a better than expected Unemployment Claims report in the US pushed US Indices even higher. The S&P 500 gained by 0.47%, the NASDAQ rose by 0.33%, and the Dow Jones added 0.75% to its value. Technically, and according to the 4-hour chart, the S&P 500 index is still trading in a strong bullish momentum. The all-important support level is at 1,826. Trading above this level may push the index higher towards 1,850 areas. The MACD indicator is above the “0” level, which also supports the bullish trend.

اسعار العملات اليورو مقابل الدولار الامريكي ليوم 4-04-2014
اسعار العملات EUR USD
انخفض سعر صرف اليورو مقابل الدولار الامريكي مع بداية تداولات اليوم الجمعة بعد أن أغلق تداولاته يوم أمس الخميس هبوطاً ،وذلك كما هو موضح بالرسم البيانى أدناه لإطار اربع ساعات.
، هذا و تتجه توقعاتنا الى ان يتحرك السعر اليوم فى اتجاه هابط ليواصل السعر التحرك بداخل القناة السعرية الهابطة. هذا ويدعم احتمالات الهبوط كلا من مؤشر MACD ومؤشر ADX ، والتقاطع السلبي على مؤشر الاستوكاستيك فضلاً عن التداول الحالى أدنى Moving Average على نحو يعزز من احتمالات للهبوط. بينما يعطى مؤشر RSI احتمالات للصعود بالوصول إلى مناطق تشبع بيعي.
، وبناء على توقعاتنا فإن تمكن السعر من كسر مستوى الدعم عند 1.3697 فان ذلك يهبط به نحو مستويات 1.3785 و 1.3642 على التوالي. بينما كسر السعر لمستوى المقاومة عند 1.3748 يدعمه للوصول الى مستوى المقاومة التالي عند 1.3762 ومن ثم مستوى 1.3775 وفقا لمستويات فيبوناتشي 50.0% و 38.2% على الترتيب.

Economic calendar is an important component for trading and without watching the economic calendar everyday we cannot proceed towards our trading success as due to some high economic event the market can be very volatile and which can lead to massive losses and frequent SL hit. As of the high impact volatility brokers also take the advantage of the traders and provide delays and slippages to capture the capital of the traders. In this scenario, i feel pretty great being with ECNCAPITAL.com as the execution during high impact volatility remains same as non volatile times and without any delay all orders are executed. The spreads are also low and moreover the withdrawals are quite instant. I highly recommend this broker for all news time traders and high volatility based traders.

Economic calendar provides the new time as well as impact of the news. There are some calendars which provide wrong time table with wrong impact. This is really awkward because new trading is really important to every scalper. As a scalper I feel it well. Trade12 having the best economic calendar which provides the most accurate news time and impact too. They use to provide strong news signals too and most of the time their signal works better.

Look at the way my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's story launches with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.

As it turns out, these are the EXACT same tactics lots of famous people (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.

You've heard that you only use 10% of your brain.

Mostly, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe this expression has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind 7 years back, while driving an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3 on his banking card.

"I'm so frustrated with living check to check! When will I finally make it?"

You've been a part of those those types of conversations, right?

Your success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
