Forex calendar is a primary tool of fundamental analysis for many traders. Although there are many websites offering economic calendars to the currency traders, there are only 7 original websites (that I know of). The others are simply using the calendar widgets provided by the first companies.
Forex Factory — offers simple interface combined with detailed reporting on all kind of events. It is probably a popular choice among the FF forum members.
DailyFX — simple calendar without much details or explanations. It can be a good choice if you follow mainly US events.
FXstreet.com — a powerful calendar full of features and details, though the interface may seem confusing. It is one of the most popular calendars, used by many websites.
Yahoo! Finance — a calendar of a very poor quality and limited capabilities. I would be surprised to find out that anyone uses it at all.
Investing.com — another powerful economic calendar, on par with FXstreet.com, albeit with a more annoying and slower interface.
ZuluTrade — an easy-to-use but not very detailed FX calendar. It is intended primarily for ZuluTrade investors and traders.
ForexSpace — probably, the most young calendar of all seven, it still requires a lot of improvement and development. Nevertheless, a news trader may find it useful if, for some reason, he cannot use any other calendar.
Personally, I prefer using DailyFX and FF calendars. The first one as a matter of habit and the second one in cases when DailyFX fails. And how about you?
