Release times, impact ratings, consensus forecasts, earnings estimates and quoted prices are third-party data reproduced for information only. They are not predictions by BTR Trading Group, scheduled times and estimates change, quoted prices are historical and specific to the dates shown, and nothing in the calendar is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Futures trading is complex and carries the risk of substantial losses. It is not suitable for all investors and you should not rely on any of the information herein as a substitute for the exercise of your own skill and judgment in making a decision on the appropriateness of such investments.

What is on it

A calendar you can trade off

Plenty of places will tell you the jobs number came out. The useful part is knowing it is due at 7:30, what the desk expects, and what it printed last time — while there is still time to do something about it.

Graded, not just listed

Every release on the daily calendar carries a Low, Medium or High impact rating, so a genuine market mover is easy to tell apart from a number nobody trades.

Every session, not just ours

Releases out of the euro area, the UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and China sit alongside the US ones, all converted to Central time so you are not doing the arithmetic at four in the morning.

Forecast beside previous

The consensus estimate and the last print are printed together, because the gap between them is what tends to move the price rather than the number on its own.

Speakers on the schedule

FOMC members with a microphone booked, and the time they are due at it, ranked by impact. Know whose mouth can move markets.

The week, on Monday

A separate Monday email with the high-impact releases for the days ahead, the earnings on the calendar and where the overnight session left everything, so a position can be sized before the week gets in the way.

No commentary

It is a schedule, not a newsletter. We do not tell you what the number will be, and we do not tell you what to do about it once it lands.
