ECO

Economic Calendar

Macro releases as they print, with consensus, prior and the actual.

ECO is the macro calendar: scheduled releases by region, each with its estimate, its prior, and the actual as it prints.

How to use ECO

Command: ECO

Type ECO in the terminal to open the calendar.

Reading a row

Each row is one release — the date and time it is due, the region it belongs to, and the event itself. Three columns carry the numbers:

  • Actual — what printed, once it has
  • Est. — the consensus going in
  • Prev. — what the last print was

The bars beside the date mark how much the release usually moves markets, so a high-impact print is visible before you read the name.

Narrowing it down

Use the Region filter to limit the calendar to the economies you follow, and the two date fields to move the window — back over what has already printed, or forward to what is still due.
