Event Radar
Volatility often clusters around known events — but many traders only discover them after a sharp move has already happened. Event Radar helps you stay ahead by highlighting important economic releases and other scheduled catalysts that may impact Forex, Commodities, Stocks, ETFs, Indices and Crypto.
See what’s coming before it hits the chart
- Focus on key events that are likely to matter for your chosen markets.
- Understand when volatility is more likely to increase or regimes may shift.
- Plan around time windows where you want to be active or deliberately flat.
- Combine event awareness with your levels, bias and sentiment view.
Trade with context instead of surprise
Instead of getting caught off guard by data releases, policy announcements or other scheduled events, you can factor them into your risk and timing decisions in advance. Event Radar is designed to support discipline: knowing what is on the calendar makes it easier to decide when to scale in, scale out or wait.
Typical event information
- Event name and region (e.g., US CPI, ECB rate decision, major earnings).
- Scheduled time, presented in your chosen reference timezone.
- Expected importance or impact level.
- Previous and consensus/expected values where applicable.
Example event-based risk rules
Event Radar can be used to support clear, written rules around risk, such as:
- Avoid opening new positions within a set window before high-impact events.
- Reduce size or tighten risk when trading directly into scheduled catalysts.
- Tag trades opened around events for separate review and analysis.
- Use post-event behavior to refine how you treat different categories of releases.
Educational and coaching use
For educators, mentors and prop desks, Event Radar provides a simple way to show how markets react around known events across multiple asset classes. You can walk through live or historic examples of how Forex, Commodities, Stocks, ETFs, Indices and Crypto each respond to different types of catalysts, helping traders build realistic expectations about volatility and behavior.
