Economic Calendar AS delivers on-chart economic alerts for faster, data-driven MT5 trading decisions

This 2025 review presents a focused performance analysis of Economic Calendar AS as used on the MT5 platform. Economic Calendar AS stands out by embedding economic events directly onto price charts, showing countdowns, indicating event importance, and issuing configurable notifications to desktop and mobile terminals. The review benchmarks delivery accuracy, notification uptime, and event timing against public calendars to provide an objective analysis of reliability and latency under normal conditions. Unlike full automated trading systems, Economic Calendar AS is a utility: its algorithm aggregates scheduled releases from verified feeds, filters by user-selected currencies, and renders a compact news panel with the nearest upcoming event and time-to-release. The engine polls APIs on configurable intervals, prioritizes high-impact items, and can push multiple notification types. Development by Alexandr Saprykin emphasizes low overhead so the indicator coexists with other Expert Advisors on MT5 without significant performance impact. Market conditions where Economic Calendar AS is most valuable include major session overlaps and scheduled macro announcements such as rate decisions and payroll data. It is less useful for purely range-bound, non-news strategies but essential for traders who need to avoid sudden volatility or take planned positions around releases. Risk management revolves around providing timely information: traders should combine the calendar alerts with tightened position sizing and widened stops during event windows. Expected performance characteristics focus on information delivery rather than trade outcomes. In tests the tool improved reaction time to events, reduced unexpected order behavior, and increased trader confidence when used alongside robust money management. Economic Calendar AS is best judged by its uptime, notification accuracy, and how well it integrates into an existing MT5 workflow.
