High-impact news events can move price sharply within seconds. Without tracking exact timing, it's easy to get caught in a position going into a release, or to miss the safest window to act around one.
Phoenix News Countdown Calendar shows a live countdown to upcoming economic events for the currencies relevant to your chart, so you can see exactly what's coming and when.
How it keeps you ahead of volatility
- Displays up to five upcoming events, ordered by time, with a live countdown
- Auto-detects the currencies relevant to your chart symbol, or set them manually
- Filters by impact level (high/medium/low)
- Optional event-time lines drawn directly on the chart
Alerts
Configurable pre-event alerts at 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes before release, colour-coded by impact level.
Use Phoenix News Countdown Calendar to:
- Avoid opening new positions right before a high-impact release
- Know in advance when volatility is likely to increase on your symbol
- Keep a visual marker on the chart for exactly when an event lands
How to use it
1. Attach to any chart; currencies are detected automatically from the symbol.
2. Set your preferred impact filters (high/medium/low) and alert timing.
3. Use the countdown to plan around upcoming releases instead of being caught by them.
