Price does not react to the number, it reacts to the gap between the number and what was already expected. An inflation print of 3.1% is bullish, bearish or a non-event depending entirely on the consensus it lands against.

These lessons cover reading the calendar, sizing around a release, and why spreads widen at exactly the moment a stop is most likely to be hit.

Economic calendar and news: questions

How many economic calendar lessons are there?
16, and they are all in the MarketPro app. This page lists every one of them. Each lesson takes about 1 minutes to read.
Do I have to pay to read them?
No. The academy is free on every MarketPro account, including free ones, with no lesson cap and no paywall inside the app. On this website the first part of each lesson is open and the rest is in the app, which is where the quizzes and the progress tracking are.
Do I need a broker account to start?
No. The academy, the calculators on this site and the free weekly signals all work without one. A broker account is only needed when you decide to place a real trade, and that decision is yours alone.
