Eightcap has announced the integration with Acuity to provide users with an AI-powered economic calendar that features daily trade ideas based on over 1000 macroeconomic events, categorized in order of impact on the market, allowing traders to manage event-based market volatility more effectively.
Alex Howard, who was just recently been appointed chief executive of the Melbourne-headquartered FX and CFD broker, is starting off on the right foot by bringing Acuity’s popular tools to its client base.
“Run the economic calendar as an EA tab on the MT4 or MT5 research terminal”
The new economic calendar will be available to all Eightcap clients and can be accessed directly via the Eightcap client portal. Traders will also be able to run the economic calendar as an EA tab on the MT4 or MT5 research terminal, which will then provide access to the news, sentiment data and more features within the same window.
The calendar offers a range of features that set it apart from traditional economic calendars, including presenting valuable insights into why an economic event is affecting the market, how the market is likely to react, the size of the market reaction, and the speed of the impact. Traders will also be able to gain valuable insights into the historic market performance of each macroeconomic event.
Clients will be able to quickly highlight trading ideas using AI advanced filtering, allowing them to identify trading opportunities across 100+ countries and 1000+ macroeconomic events.
AI filtering uses strong, colourful elements for the benefit of the trader in order to show high, medium and low-impact events. Additionally, traders will be able to understand potential market movement before, during, and after events with price, sentiment, and potential range charts.
