Free briefing before NFP, CPI and FOMC — forecast versus previous, not a trade signal.
Forex market alerts are scheduled educational emails sent before high-impact economic releases. They summarise the event, forecast versus previous figures, and scenario-based implications for gold, oil and major currency pairs. They are not buy or sell signals.
ForexTradeLab stores the live economic calendar in the same database used by the public calendar page. A background process looks for high-impact events in a lead window of about one to three and a half hours. Active subscribers then receive one email per event: the scheduled time, forecast and previous values, a plain-language reason the dollar, gold or oil often react, and three outcomes. The product is a reminder and a teaching brief. Position size, stops and whether to trade remain the reader’s decision.
Before US non-farm payrolls, a subscriber receives the release time, the consensus forecast and the previous payrolls figure. The email notes that a much stronger print has often coincided with a firmer US dollar and softer gold in the first reaction, while a much weaker print has often done the reverse. Oil is mentioned only if the growth interpretation is relevant. Spreads can widen at the stamp; that risk is stated in the message.
Treating one scenario sentence as a guaranteed direction and increasing lot size into a news-wide spread. The first tick after a release is frequently noise and is a poor substitute for a written plan.
Decide before the release whether you will stand aside or trade a predefined risk. If you trade news, size the position with the news-risk calculator and accept slippage. Read the calendar row and the primary source (for example BLS or the Federal Reserve) rather than the email alone.
Leveraged forex, gold and oil CFDs can lose more than your deposit. Briefings describe patterns and scenarios. They are not a forecast, not a recommendation, and not a substitute for your own risk limits or for official statistical sources such as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Federal Reserve.
