The economic calendar, the headlines, what the market actually did when each event landed, and what you did. It is the one page that looks forward rather than back — everything else in the app reads your history; this reads the day in front of you.
How the page is laid out
Top to bottom, it goes from "what is about to happen" to "how you handle it".
- The next critical event, as a hero card with a countdown, the volatility to expect, and a warning if you are holding something into it.
- A strip of five figuresEvents today, the surprise index, the volatility regime, your news P&L over thirty days, and the avoid window.
- The economic calendar and the headlines, side by side, each with its own filters.
- Today's reactions and how you trade news, side by side — what the market did when each event released, and what your own record around news looks like.
The page refreshes itself every minute, so the countdown and the "what is next" logic stay honest without you reloading.

What is coming
What is the avoid window?
A setting that flags the minutes either side of a high-impact release as a period you have told yourself not to trade. Off by default; you set the number of minutes.
What is on the stat strip?
Five tiles — Events Today, Surprise Index, Vol Regime, your news P&L over thirty days, and the Avoid Window.
The calendar and the headlines
What is on the Economic Calendar card?
Every scheduled release in the window you choose, with its time, its impact, its forecast and its actual once it lands. Two sets of controls: a date range and an impact filter.
What happens when I click an event?
A panel opens with that event's detail and — the useful part — the trades you took around it in the past.

A live feed of market headlines, filterable to All, Macro or Earn, with each headline's source and how long ago it landed.
What happened, and what you did about it
What is "Today's reactions"?
For each event that has already released today, what five instruments did in the fifteen minutes afterwards.
What is "How you trade news"?
Your own record around news events — win rate, P&L and a breakdown by event type.
Why is my News page empty?
If the header says Finnhub key not configured and the calendar shows no events, the server-side news service is not switched on for your account. It is not something you can configure — contact support.
How does this differ from Analytics → Edge → News & Events?
This page is about today. That sub-page is about your history. They read the same event data and should agree.
