Economic announcements

[feenix]

I like to check each day what figures are due out so that I can stand aside or at least have a close stop in position. I normally trade with IG Index, but their list of figures due out this morning (Mon 3 Aug) did not include the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index that came out at 9.28am. This caused cable to jump 40 points - fortunately I was not short, but could well have been. Does anybody know of a website which has a fairly comprensive calendar of economic announcements ?

Many thanks in advance.

Bare in mind that during news announcements your stop could be filled at much worst price than you have specify.
I like to stand aside until market digests news.If you are thinking to open position just before some high impact news announcement better think twice.Standing aside is also legitimate position.
