About this calendar
How is this different from Forex Factory?
Forex Factory is where the schedule comes from. We add what NQ did after each release the last 24 times it printed, split by whether the number came in above, below or in line with the previous print, so a number has a base rate attached before it lands.
Why only US events by default?
NQ and ES trade on US data. The Majors switch adds EUR, GBP and JPY releases for the weeks you want them.
Where do the NQ reaction numbers come from?
Ten years of 1-minute NQ bars, the same data behind the nqstats reports. Each print is measured from the last bar before the release to +5, +15 and +60 minutes.
What do above, below and in line mean?
Each print is compared with the previous release of the same series, at the series' published precision. Higher is not always good news: for the unemployment rate, above means unemployment rose.
Is this free?
Yes, with no signup. Signing in only adds your own P&L on release days from your journal.
