In plain English
What it shows
- Dashed vertical lines at scheduled releases such as CPI, FOMC, NFP and GDP, with a countdown chip when the next one is close.
How traders use it
- Know when a release is due before you enter a trade.
- Tap a line to see the forecast and previous values.
What it does not tell you
- Times and values come from a calendar feed and can change.
- It marks events. It does not say how price will react.
Overview
TradeZoro Economic events marks scheduled releases on the chart. Each event gets a dashed vertical line and a short label (CPI, FOMC, NFP, GDP, PCE and others). When the next release is close, a warning chip appears in the chart header, for example 'CPI in 12 min'.
Hover or tap a line to see the country, the impact level, the full title, and the actual, forecast and previous values when they are available.
How it works
Events come from an economic calendar feed. By default it shows high-impact US events; you can switch to high and medium impact, and to US plus EU, UK, Japan and China. The warning chip shows when an event is within 30 minutes by default.
In bar replay, events after the replay time are not drawn and actual values are never shown; the chip counts down from the replay time.
How to use it
- Some traders use the chip as a reminder before a release.
- Use the lines to see how price behaved around past CPI or FOMC releases.
- Some traders avoid opening new positions just before high-impact events.
These are ways some traders read it, for learning. They are not trade signals.
