Why Use an Economic Calendar?
An Economic Calendar is a vital tool for the Forex Home Expert community. It acts as a schedule of important financial events that can trigger significant volatility in the currency markets.
- Central Bank Meetings: Decisions on interest rates from the Fed, ECB, or BoJ.
- Economic Indicators: GDP, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), and Inflation (CPI) data.
- Geopolitical Shifts: Elections or policy changes that impact investor confidence.
Strategic Advantages for Traders
The Pros:

The Cons & Challenges:
- Whipsaw Movements: Markets can move unpredictably even if the data matches forecasts.
