Economics is a field of study that is very much affected by real-world events. And FX-trading, which uses the economics’ principles in practice, is the proof of that. So, while the mathematical patterns and other Price Action systems are reliable most of the time, they are pretty much useless when something major happens in the real world.
Economic calendars provide data for further analysis and help to predict the direction the CFD Trading market will take in the future. They are mainly used by the followers of the fundamental analysis. Some FX-trading strategies, i.e., scalping, are built around using the economic calendars to predict commotion on the markets and trading to take advantage of it.
However, even if you despise the fundamental economic analysis and follow Price Action strategies, you can still use an Economic Calendar to see when the market might be affected by the real-world events.
