A live calendar is not available here yet. When we add one, it will come from a licensed data provider, so what you see is accurate and we are allowed to show it.

What a calendar shows

Time: when the release happens. Check which timezone the calendar uses.
Currency or country: which market it is most likely to affect.
Impact: usually low, medium or high, meaning how much it tends to move prices.
Forecast and previous: what was expected, and what the last figure was. Prices often react to the difference between the actual figure and the forecast, not to the figure alone.

Planning around it

Prices can move fast, spreads can widen and orders can fill at worse prices around big releases. The article on trading around news events covers how traders plan for that. If your challenge restricts trading around news, its rules say so.
