What website has a good economic calendar? I usually trade on release of economic indicators. Anyone knows any eco calendar that provides a lot of information and is user-friendly?

You can be familiar with "Economic calendar" offered by the International Association of Forex Traders.

 

Forex Factory is one of the most proven for me I've been using it for years

Add the new Economic Calendar widget to your website for free!

MetaQuotes Software Corp., 2017.06.14 15:30

A month ago we released our economic calendar for fundamental market analysis. Now we have prepared a new widget, that can be used to embed the economic calendar on a website or blog. The new service will help you attract visitors, while providing traders the opportunity to instantly receive up-to-date information about macroeconomic events.


Add the new Economic Calendar widget to your website for free

To receive the widget, go to the economic calendar page on MQL5.com and click on the "Add widget to your website" link. Specify the desired width and height of the calendar widget for your site, select the default period of featured events (current day or current week), copy the generated code and insert it to your web page. In the Preview section, you can see how the calendar will be displayed on your site.

For example, here is the embed code for a responsive calendar widget featuring current events weekly:

<!-- Economic Calendar Widget BEGIN -->
<script id="economicCalendarWidget" type="text/javascript" src="https://c.mql5.com/js/widgets/calendar/widget.v1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    new economicCalendar({ width: "100%", height: "100%", mode: 2 });
</script>
<!-- Economic Calendar Widget END -->

The current calendar version features economic news from the US, Japan and the European Union. News from the United Kingdom will be added soon. Also soon, the new calendar will replace the current one used in the MetaTrader 5 trading platform, so users will be able to receive up-to-date indicator values immediately after their release, as well as access the economic calendar data from MQL5 robots and the strategy tester.

Add the economic calendar to your website and provide traders with a ready-to-use tool for monitoring important macroeconomic events!

I see forecasts vary from one economic calendar to another. Why? And what economic calendar seems to come closest the most often to an "accurate" forecast? Thanks.

Forecasts should very in most of the cases. Because those forecasts are made by analytical team especially for the calendar.
Of course, there are some official forecasts (officially public forecasts) - NFP for example.
But it should very in most of the cases for the most news events.

 

This is the most packed up calendar and historic economic data I know:

Also has an API.

Bad side is sometimes lags a few minutes on news release.
