Forex Factory is an online resource that connects traders to global markets and offers an economic calendar alongside market news, according to the site’s own description.
The Forex Factory homepage describes the site as connecting traders with “real-time data, charts, news, and the internet’s most trusted economic calendar,” and the site’s Calendar page advertises itself as “the internet’s most forex-focused economic calendar.”
Forex Factory also runs a News section that curates market headlines and analysis from multiple outlets for FX traders, listing breaking updates and industry commentary in a dedicated feed on the site.
In June 2023 Forex Factory announced “Calendar live data,” an upgrade the site says delivers economic-release values in real time so traders can “watch the data appear in real time, with zero delay,” an improvement described on the site’s blog and reported by FX News Group.
The site has expanded into mobile as well: a Forex Factory Calendar app appears on Google Play, presented as an educational and calendar tool for traders who want mobile access to schedules and alerts.
Traders use the calendar to plan around scheduled releases and to spot high-impact events; guides on Forex Factory explain how to read actual, forecast and previous values for indicators and how those readings map to currency pairs.
For readers wanting a quick primer, the site’s “How to Read an Economic Calendar for Forex” page walks through the calendar layout and the relationship between releases and market moves, while third-party guides and tutorials treat the Forex Factory calendar as a common reference for planning trades.
The article links on this site provide further reading on how traders rely on the platform and on U.S. releases to watch this week.
Internal resources on this site include an explainer that summarizes Forex Factory’s combined calendar-and-news offering and a recent piece noting the site’s ongoing popularity among traders who check its calendar daily.
