Improved Events Calendar

Our improved Events Calendar makes it easy to stay on top of current and upcoming events for companies around the globe. Use filters to view only companies in your portfolio and Watchlists, limit the events display to specific types, like corporate actions, corporate events, economic events, Econoday events and more. Or, turn off filters and see more. Use the calendar widget to choose the view; see events for today, or view past and future events.

The enhanced version of the Events Calendar also includes:

  • The ability to change how events are listed. List events chronologically or by event category.

    • View chronologically or by event

  • The addition of a detailed Event Report for Econoday events. Select an event from the list, and see the report in the pop-up sidecar.
  • The addition of Economic Events and Earnings Calendar tiles in the Daily Lineup. Content in the Daily Lineup uses default settings, not the settings you define in your Event Calendar.
  • A responsive Events Calendar window that lets you resize and include as a Mosaic tile, without losing functionality.
    • Resize calendar to add to Mosaic layout

The Events Calendar is a “source” for windows grouping (indicated by the colored chain link icon next to the search field in the upper right corner of the window). When you select an event, the related ticker symbol automatically populates linked Mosaic windows - including the Order Entry panel - to make it easy for you to trade immediately off an event.

To open the Events Calendar, use the New Window drop-down in Mosaic or the Analytical Tools menu in Classic.
