An economic calendar marks the release schedule along with the expected impact (usually color-coded).
What to note
- The release time in your time zone.
- The forecast vs previous figures — the market reacts to the difference between the actual result and expectations.
- "High impact" releases close together — days like these need extra caution.
A simple rule for beginners: avoid opening new positions a few minutes before and after high-impact releases.
