DailyFX Releases New
Global Economic Calendar,
Adds Customization
08/02/07 — DailyFX.com announced today it has redesigned and expanded its online economic calendar, which can be found at www.dailyfx.com/calendar.
The calendar was developed by the DailyFX research team, directed by Editor-in-Chief Kathy Lien.
"We believe our new economic calendar is the most comprehensive and detailed in the forex industry; with over 150 indicators covering every economic event for every major currency," said Lien.
For each economic indicator listed, a commentary button reveals:
a complete release schedule;
a definition of the event;
relevance and influence on a particular currency;
government sources and web addresses;
DailyFX Analysis posted within minutes of the release.

"In our opinion, our new calendar is also the most customizable," said Lien. "It now gives traders a way of personalizing their calendar to their trading needs."
Customization features include:
sort and filter functions that organize the calendar by date, currency, or importance;
views of the calendar to show only countries most important to an individual trader;
background on specific economic news events;
an understanding of the economic numbers, and a sense of volatility in the market.
Also included is a timetable for every major currency central bank meeting.
"We developed the new DailyFX Economic Calendar to be a one-stop shop for economic releases," said Lien. "The Calendar will now show you what is coming out, how important the information is, and what impact it can have on specific currencies."
