Live Economic Calendar Pro is a web plugin for cTrader that integrates real-time economic event data directly into trading charts. Powered by ForexFactory, it displays upcoming economic news such as GDP, CPI, NFP, FOMC, PMI, and over 100 other events. The plugin categorizes events by impact level—high, medium, or low—with one-click filtering and provides forecast versus previous values via tooltips. A countdown timer indicates the time remaining until the next market-moving event.
This tool automatically detects the chart’s symbol and matches relevant economic news without requiring manual setup or API keys. It supports multiple asset classes including Forex, metals (XAUUSD), cryptocurrencies (BTCUSD), and indices. Features include currency filtering, 24-hour or AM-PM time display, and theme adaptation to match cTrader’s dark or light mode. The calendar updates automatically every 15 minutes and is compatible with desktop, web, Android, and iOS platforms.
Live Economic Calendar Pro helps traders anticipate market volatility by highlighting key economic events, enabling informed entry and exit planning based on news impact.
