Be in-the-know and make calculated decisions. Economic Insight is not your average economic calendar. This is a power tool on steroids. Analyze, plan and trade directly from it.

Basics!

First let’s make sure you know some basic stuff so you can use Economic Insight effectively. Don’t worry about the calculations. These are all done for you on the spot.

Pip

The unit that measures price movement in currency pairs.

Price Volatility

The day-to-day percentage change in the price of a currency pair.

True Range

True Range is an indicator that measures the volatility of an asset’s price. It shows us how much price changes on average, during a given time frame.

Keeping it simple!

Economic Insight switches True Range calculations to Pip Values. Why?

We crunch complex data to simple decision-making level analysis. This gives you a clear understanding of how the market behaved. Economic Insight uses the “True Range” indicator to generate analysis of historical data. It then converts these values to “True Range Pips” to show the trader the scale of historical pips movement for the particular economic event.

Why add Pip Values to your setup?

Pip Values help traders form a more solid risk management strategy. They also help you define your Take Profit and Stop-Loss targets more clearly.
