Economic Calendar Tracker — ForexFactory + FXStreet, No Login

Track scheduled macroeconomic releases for analysts monitoring currencies and markets.

Quick start

Request one event from the current week; the source changes with time, but this bounded input normally completes in under two minutes:

{"source":"forexfactory","dateRange":"this_week","limit":1}

One event dataset item from the ForexFactory feed on 2026-10-04 (selected fields shown; live values change):

{"title":"OPEC-JMMC Meetings","country":"ALL","impact":"medium","date_iso":"2026-10-04T05:15:00-04:00","forecast":null,"previous":null,"actual":null,"event_category":"energy","data_source":"forexfactory"}

title names the release or meeting; country is its region or currency code. impact is the source's importance level. date_iso gives the scheduled time, while forecast, previous, and actual may be null. event_category groups similar events, and data_source identifies the feed. A trailing week_outlook summary item is also emitted.

Limits

Results depend on the upstream ForexFactory or FXStreet feed; a short date window may contain no events. ForexFactory country coverage is narrower than FXStreet's. Forecast and actual values can be missing before a release, and historical ForexFactory queries are limited by available weekly feeds. Alerts require valid Telegram or webhook settings.

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

Event	Price
Actor start (charged by Apify, one per GB of run memory)	$0.001
Economic event returned	$0.002

The first 25 events per account (one-time trial, not per run or per day) are free. Example: the first default run of the day (this week, ~75 events) = 50 × $0.002 + start = $0.101; a high-impact-only run later the same day charges every returned event.

Use from AI agents (MCP)

Connect your agent to Apify's official MCP server with an Apify token. Select the Actor tool gochujang/economic-calendar-tracker, pass the Quick start JSON as input, then retrieve its dataset items through the MCP server. No separate gateway is needed.

Why this exists

Macro events drive the biggest single-day moves in every asset class. An FOMC decision or CPI print can swing crypto and equities 3–5% in minutes. Pro traders avoid holding through these events; quants build economic calendars into their backtests.

ForexFactory covers G10 currencies, while FXStreet covers a wider range. This actor combines both feeds with filters, sorting, surprise scoring, and Telegram alerts.

Impact levels

Impact	What to expect
high	Top-tier events (FOMC, NFP, CPI, GDP, ECB rate decision). Expect 1–5% moves in FX, indices, and crypto
medium	Tier-2 (PMI, retail sales, durable goods). Often 0.5–1% moves
low	Speeches, secondary data. Usually noise unless they break trend
holiday	Bank holiday — thinner liquidity all day

Use cases

1. Algo-trading signal pipeline — Filter impact: high + crypto_relevance ≥ 7 → feed into your trading bot as a risk-off gate before FOMC / CPI prints
2. Emerging market coverage — Use source: fxstreet to get KR, IN, BR, MX, CN events not available in ForexFactory
3. Automated news alerts — Webhook to Slack / Discord on any high-impact event: "CPI in 2 hours, forecast lower than prior → possible dovish surprise"
4. Macro research & dashboards — Pull weekly calendar into Google Sheets, Notion, or Airtable via Make / Zapier. Track hawkish vs dovish signal counts by week.
5. Position management — Don't get caught in a directional trade through high-impact events. Schedule every Monday to get the week's risk calendar.
6. Volatility trading — is_upcoming_24h: true + impact: high → buy straddles ahead of FOMC; sell after the print
7. Historical backtesting — Pull any custom date range (up to 8 weeks) with actual vs forecast to build surprise-momentum strategies
8. Hawkish/dovish signal filter — Use forecastDirection: "higher" on monetary_policy events to pre-screen rate decision surprises
9. Risk dashboard — Daily Telegram digest of upcoming high-impact events
10. Global macro coverage — Use source: both to merge ForexFactory and FXStreet for 60+ country coverage with deduplication
