Many traders search for a news calendar for today. This page cannot tell you what is scheduled, because it holds no live data and lists no events. What it can do is help you use an official calendar properly: enter the date, time and time zone shown by the source, and see the same moment in your own time zone and in UTC.
Release Time Converter
Pick a date to convert a release time.
Take the release date, time and zone from the official source of the release. Daylight saving changes are handled by your browser's time zone data. This tool does not know what is scheduled today.
How to Use This Tool
- Open the official release calendar of the statistics office, central bank or data publisher you follow.
- Copy the date, the time and the time zone it uses into the converter.
- Read the time in your own zone and add it to your plan, with a window to stand aside before and after.
Using an Official Calendar
Release dates and times are published in advance by the bodies that produce the data. Go to the source rather than a summary, because times can be revised and are often stated in the publisher's own time zone. A wrong time zone is the most common error, which is why this converter exists. Daylight saving changes can shift a release by an hour relative to your own clock, and the converter uses your browser's time zone data to handle them.
Decide before the day what you will do around each release. Some traders stand aside, some reduce stake size and some trade only after prices settle. Whichever you choose, write it in your plan; the trading calendar template gives a grid for it. To understand what each release measures, read economic indicators explained and central bank announcements.
Scheduled releases can move prices sharply, and the outcome is not predictable. Past reactions do not tell you the next one; you can measure your own sample with the news impact tool. For methods, see news trading strategy.
Limits
This page lists no events and holds no live data. Always take dates and times from the official source, and check them again close to the release. It is not advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this page show today's releases?
No. It has no data feed. Use the publisher's official calendar.
Why convert the time zone?
Calendars are often shown in the publisher's own zone, and a mistake there can put you in a trade at the wrong moment.
Are daylight saving changes handled?
Your browser's time zone data is used for the conversion, but always double-check close to the event.
Can I rely on a third-party calendar?
Check it against the official source, since times and details can be revised.
