Reliability & compatibility
Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

Economic Calendar
High-Impact Events by Currency
| Event | Currency | Frequency | Typical Impact | |-------|----------|-----------|----------------| | NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) | USD | Monthly (1st Fri) | 50–150 pips | | FOMC Rate Decision | USD | 8x/year | 50–200 pips | | CPI (Inflation) | USD/EUR/GBP | Monthly | 30–100 pips | | GDP | USD/EUR/GBP | Quarterly | 20–80 pips | | PMI (Mfg/Services) | Multi | Monthly | 20–60 pips | | BoE/ECB/BoJ Decision | GBP/EUR/JPY | 8x/year | 50–150 pips | | EIA Oil Inventory | OIL | Weekly (Wed 14:30 UTC) | $0.50–2.00 |
News Avoidance Windows
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def is_news_blackout(event_time: datetime, current_time: datetime,
impact: str = "HIGH") -> bool:
"""Should we avoid trading near this news event?"""
windows = {"HIGH": (30, 15), "MEDIUM": (15, 5), "LOW": (5, 0)} # (before_min, after_min)
before, after = windows.get(impact, (30, 15))
start = event_time - timedelta(minutes=before)
end = event_time + timedelta(minutes=after)
return start str:
if minutes_to_event list:
"""Scrape Investing.com economic calendar for today's events."""
# Note: Use WebSearch tool to get current day's events
# WebSearch query: f"site:investing.com economic calendar today {min_impact} impact"
pass
# Alternative: use Brave Search via WebSearch tool
CALENDAR_QUERY = "economic calendar high impact events today forex"
Pre-Event Volatility Strategy
- 30 min before high-impact: Spreads widen, stops get hunted — close scalps
- Straddle setup: Place buy stop + sell stop at current price ±(avg_range/3) before NFP
- Post-event fade: If spike > 2× ATR, fade back within 5–15 min (70% fill rate)
