Economic Calendar Reminders

Recommended Posts

Has anyone figured out a way to get economic news events automatically set as reminders on your computer so you don't have to manually set any of them. I'd also be interested in picking and choosing which news events I wanted reminders for.

 

I use outlook for all my reminders right now so my hope is there is a way to get some sort of auto import of those reminders into outlook. I just don't want to spend any time on things that can be automated.

Econoday offers a service you can buy that puts them on your Outlook calendar automatically.

I've never used it, so not sure if you can customize or not.

 

Thanks a million BF. Here are some prices they have for varying levels of reminder data. I'll probably get this unless someone knows of something else that is cheaper.

 

This brings up another question. If I want to find out the economic news as fast as possible, where or how do I get it?

you have to subscribe to Bloomberg or something like that.

 

but don't ever think that the speed of obtaining announcements will give you an edge in trading...

Not the most informative answer but I appreciate the effort.:)

Just curious, what makes you believe this idea?

Looking at the pricing, I would get the Market Moving Events for 19.95/mo. That should give you the events that have stars, which is typically the events you want to be aware of.

 

I don't know anyone that does anything like Econoday. They are very good at what they do and I reference it every morning. As you know, I'll trade before/during/after news (except oil inventory) so I just like to know what's going on and when. Some would probably use it to remind themselves when not to trade.

Hi Dinero,

I keep this indicator on atleast one of my active charts on Ninjatrader.

It pulls data from Forexfactory. We can set how many minutes in advance we want it to alert us.

 

I know you are on OEC right now, but this might help someone else. :)

If this is done via EasyLanguage it might transport into OEC.

Here's one Ive used regularly for the last 3-4 years. Its not perfect in terms of immediate updates of actual numbers . Its free and i get all the upcoming news i need.

Open it , minimise it and thats all. I set mine up for 5 mins so just before the news release the alarm goes off. On the actual release it will pop up the release. Plus the bells goes off. hahaha

the answer from Tams was the most informative in this thread. If you dont see it - it doesnt actually mean it is not.

 

The essense is - all the news efficiently have been traded by professional trading desks around the world way before you get them.

This is an interesting comment and one that frankly I did not expect to read here...

 

For Maxima;

 

Actually Sir or Madam, the "news" in terms of scheduled economic report releases comes in various "flavors"...that is to say, there are reports that are released on a rigorous schedule and cannot be seen in advance, and then there are reports that are released in advance to "subscribers"....Those of us who do this for a living know which is which and as the gentleman has stated, we plan our moves in advance...I guess the only thing I would like to correct is the timing...actually Maxima, most professional offices have an idea of what the report bias will be and we establish our longer term market position anywhere from 10 days to a month ahead of the release, and then we trade around it as the "event" draws near....Splitting the trade this way allows us to hedge and lay off risk when we feel we might be wrong, and to add deltas when we want more risk exposure....Now I wonder if anyone will get this and comment? Oh well. (once again I refer people to Ben Warwick's excellent book on Event Trading).

 

Good luck everyone.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
