Most economic calendars (Investing.com, Forex Factory, MyFXBook) show a list of events with timestamps but force you to mentally calculate "how far away is now from this event?" That cognitive load adds friction. Trading News Terminal's NOW marker is a thin blue line drawn across the day's grid, updated every second. The moment you open the calendar, the view auto-scrolls so the line — and therefore the next event — is centered. Zero mental math.
When you switch to the Calendar tab, JavaScript computes the offset to position the NOW line at the top of the visible viewport. Three events later in the day appear immediately below. Three events earlier appear above (in case you need to reference a release that just printed). This solves the #1 UX problem with traditional calendars: scrolling through 200+ past events to find what's next.
Each event is color-coded by Investing.com-equivalent impact score:
Forex traders typically don't care about Chinese manufacturing PMI unless they trade AUD/USD. The asset filter restricts the calendar to events that historically move a specific instrument. Filter by USD and you see NFP, CPI, FOMC, retail sales, ISM, PCE, JOLTS — not ECB or BoJ. Filter by GOLD and you see real yields, USD strength, geopolitical events, central bank gold reserves data.
For each event tier (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) you set your preferred lead time: 5 min, 15 min, 1 hour, or 1 day before. The alert fires automatically via your chosen channel: browser push, email, or Telegram bot DM. Add custom keyword alerts (e.g., "Powell", "unscheduled", "emergency rate") for events that don't fit standard categories.
Yes — the calendar (with NOW marker, asset filter, and 5-minute alerts) is part of the Basic plan, which is free forever. Pro plan adds 1-minute alerts and zero-delay news.
We aggregate from multiple sources including official central bank schedules, BLS, Eurostat, ONS, ABS, and DBPedia. Cross-verified daily.
Every 6 hours for new events; every minute for impact changes and timing shifts. Surprise actuals (when released) appear within 1–5 seconds.
Yes — Pro plan lets you create unlimited custom keyword alerts (e.g., "Lagarde", "emergency", "unscheduled"). They fire via Telegram, push, or email.
Modern markets move on milliseconds. The 1-second update gives you a precise visual reference for events that release on the half-second (US data) or on exact 0/15/30/45 minutes (European data).
