How to create forex calendar

1. View the calendars.
Everybody may see link on the top of the page:
Calendar
Go to this webpage and you will see the calendars available to the public.
Just important thing we need to know now is the following:
- calendar ID. This ID number is using in news/signal indicators and EAs;
- Options: you may edite your options especially time for example. I did not edited it and I can see all the calendars in my forum time according to my general user's setting on the forum.
- Detail: small description about calendar;
- Created By: member who created this calendar;
- Comments: how many comments.
- Action: view calendar and view/add comments.
You may view calendar in unregistered mode. So you do not need to register to view it.

2. Registration.
It's free of course.
If you want create your own calendar, or you are advanced "news/signals" member so it is the better to register.
Go to Register New User link for registration. I prefer to use the same username as i am using on the forum here.

3. Once you registered you may start to create your calendar.
Go to Create Calendar link and fill Calendar Name and Details.
You calendar will not be visible for the public untill it will be moderate. You only will see your calendar and you may edit, delete, improve, fill the news/signals, use EAs and so on. Once you decide that your calendar is good for public so please send PM to moderator (to me for example) and I will make it visible for the members of this forum.

4. Creating your news calendar by events.
After Create Calendar link completed you will have ID of your calendar. You calendar is empty and visible for you only. Press view calendar button and go to your calendar to create it.
Open Add Event link and fill evetrything:
- Calendar: i have 2 calendars now: forex calendar and signal calendar. I will have one only from the beginning.
- Date & Time: it is the date and time for the news. As my time option is GMT+0 so I am using GMT time to post the news events.
- Currency:
EUR
GBP
NZD
and so on. News EAs and indicators are understand the currency in this format only.
- Type: if you did description for all the news types so you may use it. I did it for example but it took long time for me.
- Title: title of news event.
- Detail. You may post any description for the news event. If you see my calendar so I have description and websource link for every single news. But it's up to you which description to use: monthly value (m/m), yearly value, any your comments and so on.
- Expected Impact: low impact, medium impact and high impact. It is understandable.
- Actual: actual value of the news events. You will post it later editing your calendar for new actual values.
- Forecast: or concensus (if any).
- Previous: previous value.
- Public Event: if this events will be going to be a public one (it is in most cases) so keep it as default.
Press Send button.

5. How to edite the events, or delete them.
You created the calendar, created some news events for the coming week for example.
Under Action you will see the following:
- view description: it is exact the same description you wrote for the event.
- view/add comments.
- edit event.
- delete event.

Finally you have your own calendar.
You may use my calendar for example. Or you may create your own. Or you may delete your first calendar and create the new one. Once you feel that your calendar is ready for the public so send PM to moderator to moderate it.

No one will see your calendar and events untill moderator will moderate it but you may use news indicators and news EAs with your calendar without moderation (just to test your calendar by price action for example).
