FXStreet, one of the largest forex portals, made significant changes to its popular live economic calendar. More events from more countries are available, visual improvements were made and event and country pages were added for in depth insights.
The FXStreet calendar is available on Forex Crunch right here and has been upgraded as well. More upgrades are coming soon to this all important tool for forex traders.
The Economic Calendar of FXstreet.com has been renovated: new design, more economic events and countries and new pages for the economic data and countries. FXstreet.com’s calendar is one of the most competitive Economic Calendars existing on the net. Available in 16 languages, with an extremely fast updating, related news, reports and charts, history graphs and tables, 44 countries and more than 1120 economic events releases, it is among the most famous tools offered by the leading Foreign Exchange market information website. In July of this year, it was upgraded and improved.
FXstreet.com editors have increased the quantity of covered economic events, such as sovereign bond auctions of key countries. In addition, more countries have been included, like Hong Kong, Colombia, Qatar and Singapore.
On of the most visible new features of the upgraded version of FXstreet.com calendar is the new design. Visually improved and with small layout changes – as flags representing the country where the data is released or a more explicit volatility color code – the look and feel of the tool is fresher and clearer.
Each economic event now has its own dedicated page with data numbers, next release dates, definition and a historical graph with the evolution of the data in the last years. This graph is customizable: you can compare that particular data evolution to currencies pair prices and / or with other economic data in the same country or region. On the same event page, the OlsenScale History tools are available: these represent the impact of economic news releases on a particular currency. At the bottom of the page, the reader will find related news and reports.
Now every country that is covered in the calendar also has its own page. It is composed of basic information about the country, as its capital, government or population, then appears a list and customizable charts of the national economic events, as well as news and reports that refer to that same country.
Another significant addition that companies will be able to purchase is the “Event Impact Analysis”, developed by Autochartist. This tool is an easy-to-read visual report and chart that gives traders tangible historical information about the economic event, displaying delta (the difference between expected and actual figures) and the resulting trend.
Said Ilan Azbel, CEO of Autochartist.com, stated: “Users will find great benefit in reduced uncertainty of market volatility around the time of news releases or economic events, and also acquire a clear visual insight into the impact of economic events on financial markets. This is a tool that is invaluable to any short term trader.”
FXstreet.com Economic Calendar is available for free on FXstreet.com website and can be used by everyone. The White-label Economic Calendar Pro can be purchased by any company that would like to integrate it on its platform or website. Francesc Riverola, Founder and CEO of Fxstreet.com, declared more changes are to be expected: “In a constant effort to offer the best, the FXstreet.com team is continually improving and developing new and useful features to meet the needs of the traders and analysts as much as possible. In that sense, the Economic Calendar will expand his quantity and quality of data and tools in the months to come.”
