7 days of upcoming events. Live countdown timers. Actual vs forecast vs previous — with beat/miss color signals the instant data drops. High-impact audio alerts. Fully free.
Economic calendar is free on all plans · No credit card required
Real-time beat/miss signals, impact flags, and countdown timers — all in a clean terminal interface designed for rapid decision-making.
Every upcoming event shows a real-time countdown so you're always prepared — whether it's 4 hours to NFP or 30 seconds to the Fed decision. Never be caught off-guard by a release again.
When data drops, the actual figure turns green (beat), red (miss), or amber (inline) the instant it's published. Your eyes get the signal in under a second — no reading required.
HIGH impact events trigger an audio alert the moment results are published — ideal for traders who can't watch the screen constantly. Combined with the squawk box on Pro for full hands-free coverage.
The moment an economic release publishes, related news headlines appear alongside the calendar row — giving you immediate market context and commentary without switching tabs.
The calendar displays all major economic events for the next 7 days — across all economies including the US, Eurozone, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, and Switzerland. Events are sorted by time and flagged by country, with previous readings and market forecasts pre-populated so you can prepare your trade thesis in advance.
As soon as a statistical agency or central bank publishes a figure, the actual number populates in real time — with an instant beat/miss signal (green/red/amber) and a deviation indicator. For HIGH impact events, an audio alert fires regardless of whether the squawk box is active. The economic calendar for trading is only useful if the data is truly live — ours is.
Immediately after a data release, relevant headlines from the forex news feed are injected next to the calendar event — so you see analyst reactions, market commentary, and follow-up central bank statements in the same view. On Pro, the squawk box reads these headlines aloud while you focus on executing trades.

An economic calendar is a schedule of upcoming macroeconomic data releases and events that are likely to cause significant price moves in financial markets. It shows the date, time, country, event name, previous reading, the market's consensus forecast, and — once published — the actual result. Forex traders, futures traders, and equity traders all use economic calendars to manage risk around volatile events and position for data-driven trades. Trading News Terminal's live economic calendar includes real-time data injection, beat/miss signals, and countdown timers — all for free.
The best forex economic calendar publishes actual data the instant it's released — not minutes later — and provides immediate beat/miss signals. It should also integrate with a news feed so you see market commentary alongside raw numbers. Trading News Terminal's calendar meets all these criteria and adds countdown timers, audio alerts for HIGH impact events, and automatic news injection next to each event row. It's available free on all plans.
Economic releases affect currency prices by updating market expectations about a central bank's future interest rate path. Strong inflation (CPI beat) increases rate-hike expectations, typically strengthening the currency. Weak employment data (NFP miss) increases rate-cut expectations, typically weakening the currency. The size of the price move depends on how far the actual result deviates from the consensus forecast — which is why knowing the forecast before the event is just as important as seeing the actual number.
HIGH impact events are data releases and central bank decisions that historically cause the largest and most sustained price moves across forex, equity, and fixed income markets. These include: FOMC, ECB, BOE, and BOJ rate decisions; US Non-Farm Payrolls; US and UK CPI; GDP growth readings; and major central bank governor speeches. Trading News Terminal marks these events with a red HIGH badge, triggers audio alerts when they publish, and injects related news headlines in real time so you can react within seconds.
Yes.

The Pro plan at €40/month adds zero-delay news injection next to each event, squawk box audio read-aloud of related headlines, and access to all 7 live financial TV channels.
Founder, Trading News Terminal · Forex educator since 2013
Trading FX and macro markets since 2013, building TNT to close the speed and curation gap between professional newswires and the retail trader. Editorial focus: tradable interpretation of the wire, not noise relay.
Event timing, consensus estimates and impact ratings on this calendar reflect the same primary sources used by the desk every morning. We cross-check release schedules against the issuing agency before publishing, and we update consensus to whichever wire poll is closest to release time.
Sub-second alerts inside the Pro terminal come from professional newswire feeds (no Telegram aggregators). Consensus revisions are tracked daily during the 24h leading up to a release.
