The Ultimate Guide to TradingView Calendars: Economic, Earnings, and Dividends

Successful trading often comes down to preparation. Knowing when market-moving events are about to happen is just as important as technical analysis. A recent comprehensive tutorial from TradingView dives deep into three essential tools that every trader should master: the Economic, Earnings, and Dividend Calendars.

Here is a breakdown of how to find, customize, and use these calendars to stay ahead of the markets.

Finding Your Calendars

TradingView makes these tools accessible from two main locations:

From the Homepage: Navigate to the Products menu at the top and select Calendars.
From the Chart: On the SuperCharts view, look for the Calendars button at the bottom right of the screen. This integration allows you to monitor critical events without ever leaving your technical analysis workspace.

1. The Economic Calendar: Macro at a Glance

This tool is vital for traders focused on forex, commodities (like oil), or broad market indices. It tracks major macroeconomic data points such as GDP, inflation (CPI), and unemployment rates.

Customization: You can filter by country to build a custom view. Whether you want to track only the G20 nations or specific countries like the USA, Japan, and Turkey, the calendar adjusts instantly.
Importance Levels: Pay attention to the color-coded bars next to each event. One bar signifies low importance, while three bars indicate a high-impact event that is likely to move the market.
Deep Dive: Clicking on an event reveals historical data, forecasts, and the “Actual” vs. “Consensus” numbers, helping you understand if a report was a surprise or inline with expectations.

2. The Earnings Calendar: Stock Market Movers

Quarterly earnings reports are often the biggest catalysts for individual stock volatility. The Earnings Calendar helps you track which companies are reporting and what the market expects.

Key Metrics: The calendar displays Revenue and EPS (Earnings Per Share) forecasts.
Surprises: You can quickly see if a company beat or missed expectations, which is often the primary driver for post-earnings price action.

3. The Dividend Calendar: Income Investing

For long-term investors focused on cash flow, this calendar is indispensable.

Yield Hunting: You can sort the calendar by Dividend Yield to find companies paying the highest percentage for a specific day.
Dates Matter: It clearly lists the Ex-Dividend Date (the deadline you must own the stock by to receive the payment) and the Payment Date.
A Word of Caution: The tutorial reminds traders that a high yield isn’t always a buy signal—sometimes yields are high because the stock price has crashed, or the dividend is at risk of being cut. Always do your due diligence.

Conclusion

Whether you are a day trader looking to avoid volatility spikes or a long-term investor planning your income portfolio, mastering these calendars is a non-negotiable skill. By customizing filters and syncing important dates to your personal calendar, you can ensure you are never caught off guard by the market again.
