News

News shows the week's scheduled official US economic releases as a calendar. The calendar is free. Below it, ink+ shows how you trade release days and the bigger macro picture; on Free those sections show a locked preview.

#The calendar

One row per day, Sunday to Saturday; a day with nothing shown says No events, and today is marked. Use Previous week and Next week (the arrows beside This week, Last week or Next week and the dates) to move between weeks. The pill beside them shows what's Up next and when — or Nothing left this week.

• High, + Medium and All pick which releases are shown. The folder color is the impact: coral for high, orange for medium, yellow for low. Ink remembers your choice.
• The currency buttons show only currencies the calendar has — today that's USD.
• Times are New York (ET); tap Local (or your zone's name) to see them in your own time zone. Ink remembers this in your browser.
• FLAT ± N marks the high-impact releases your news rule covers, when the rule is on (the legend says your news rule). The rule is No entries ± N min of news in your daily rules — set it there.
• Actual and Previous fill in once Ink has stored a release's first print (on release day, from the official data). ▲ means the actual came in above the previous print, ▼ below — a direction, not a judgement. Forecasts aren't shown: consensus forecasts are paid data.
• A release whose date isn't final says date not confirmed.

Tap a release to select it; on ink+ your stats below follow it.

#Remind me

The bell at the end of a row — on any timed release still to come — sends a browser notification 5 minutes before it (Remind me 5 min before; tap again to cancel). The first time, your browser asks to allow notifications for Ink. Reminders are kept in that browser only, and they fire only while Ink is open in it — on any page. Close the tab and the notification doesn't come.

#Your stats on a release (ink+)

Statistics · optional shows your trades on the selected release's last 12 releases: the days you traded, how many were green, your average day against quiet days (days with no high-impact release), your trades in the first 15 minutes, and your P&L on each release. Day numbers use every instrument on the selected account; the minutes-from-release numbers use your main instrument (your most-traded symbol over 90 days). With fewer than 2 days on a release, it says so instead.

#You on release days (ink+)

A table of FOMC, payrolls, CPI, PPI, retail sales and jobless claims over 90 days, and your average P&L per trade by minutes from the nearest high-impact release. With your news rule on, the ±N bucket is shown as blocked. Until you have 5 release days in the window it gives an Early read instead of a verdict.

#Macro (ink+)

Macro · the bigger picture is built only from free public data, updated once a day:

• Eight indicators (inflation, jobs, spending, GDPNow, Fed funds), the growth × inflation regime, and the Fed against the 2-year with the Fed's own projections.
• Treasury curve, Inside CPI (what adds up to headline CPI, by BLS weights) and Cross-asset (yields, the dollar, oil, financial conditions).
• Change vs previous: each release's latest stored first print against the previous one, and the direction of its last 12. A release with fewer than 2 stored prints is collecting.
• Central banks: the Fed's target range, plus other banks' rates as checked on each bank's own page, with the date checked.

The sources line links every source. No paid market data — no forecasts, market pricing or copyrighted indices.
