Educational information, not financial advice. What fits depends on your own circumstances.
Currency News Source · Markets Made Simple

Understand what moved your money, then decide for yourself.

Forex, gold, oil and Bitcoin, explained in plain English before each session opens. Every level measured from real price history. Every term explained in the sentence that uses it.

This is for you if

  • You trade or hold forex, gold, oil or crypto, with your own money and your own decisions.
  • You want to understand the move. You are not looking for someone to make the call for you.
  • You have paid for signals or a “mentor” before, and it taught you something other than trading.
  • You would rather read for three minutes before the open than watch an hour of somebody shouting at a chart.

The person behind the editorial standard

Juris Doctor · Master of Science in Quantitative Economics · Legal & Quantitative Analyst / Author / Educator, The Currency Classroom

Kanin writes Kanin's Corner in every issue, in his own voice. He wrote the six Forex Foundations lessons on this site, free to read, about 20,000 words that assume nothing and explain every term the first time it appears. And he sets the rules everything else here is written under: no invented figures, no price targets, no buy or sell calls, and no turning an uncertain outcome into a promise.

Economic Calendar

Track high-impact forex events, central bank decisions, and economic releases that move markets.

Every trading day, what is scheduled and how hard it usually hits. Impact is rated one to five stars, five red stars being the events that move the dollar, gold and crypto the most. Each row says in plain English what the release does to markets; tap Full impact for the pair-by-pair breakdown. Dates come from the official Federal Reserve, BLS, BEA, ECB, Bank of England and Bank of Japan schedules. Recurring weekly and monthly releases are shown in their standard slot and marked usual slot until the official date is published. Forecast and actual figures are not shown here. After the New York close, every event rated four stars and above is measured against what price actually did, and the result is published to CNS Pro members as the impact report.
Time (ET)CurrImpactEvent
How to read the stars. ★★★★★ moves the whole board: the dollar, gold, oil and crypto all react, and the move can run for an hour. ★★★★★ moves its own currency clearly and carries into related markets. ★★★★★ a real but usually contained reaction. ★★★★★ background reading that matters as a trend rather than on the day. Ratings describe how these events have typically behaved. They are educational, not a prediction of any particular release, and nothing here is financial advice.

Listings in preparation
CNS does not rate or rank brokers. We have no testing process that would justify a score, so we will not publish one. When listings open, each will carry the name, what they offer, and the regulator and licence number the firm has documented to us. Anything we cannot verify will not appear, and a paid relationship will be labelled as one. Choosing a broker is your decision, and the regulator a firm names is worth checking with that regulator directly.

"Most retail traders fail not because they lack capital, but because they lack a structured framework for reading currency markets. Education has to come before execution."
