FAQs
Where can I find the new economic calendar?
On desktop, the calendar can be found on the left-hand navigation towards the bottom of our web trading platform. On mobile, you can access it in the ‘account’ menu of our app. Both are in the same place as their existing calendar.
What’s new?
Our new economic calendar has a bold new design and features that will help you trade confidently. This includes customisation that enables you to filter market-moving events in over 40 countries and rank their importance by ‘high’, ‘medium’, and ‘low’. You also have access to a breath of information on market-moving events and can enjoy using the economic calendar within the platform.
How will these features benefit me?
Our new calendar has a wealth of historical data on events that you can use to adjust your positions to manage risk, identify trading opportunity on volatile markets and make informed strategic trading decisions to avoid unexpected losses. Filtering events by importance lets you detect incidents that could impact and cause volatility in the market. To make things even better, you can now add the economic calendar to your workspace ensuring you don’t miss sight of important market events when they happen.
When will alerts be available on the new calendar?
We’re working on the build of the alert functionality and will be available soon. Please note that as of 24 October 2024, alerts on the old economic calendar will be inactive.
How do I set up alerts on the new economic calendar once the functionality is available?
- Log into your account
- Go to the economic calendar page
- Choose the market event you’d like to track
- Customise your alert preferences according to ‘high’, ‘medium’ or ‘low’ and save them
