    I have been trading FX for a little bit now (demo) and I am doing good except for a couple times where there have been huge sudden changes.
    I have since discovered that these were because of NFP and FOMC.

    In the time I had no clue what NFP or FOMC were what they stood . Had I known about them I would have managed to leave the market for an hour or two and I would have a fairly good profit. They account for the majority of my losses.
    Most of the newbie guides I have found haven't mentioned things like that.

    Is there some guide anyone can refer me to that's a list of different big events (and even small ones) that can affect the market, with a brief description of what they are and when to expect them. Or when an event is regular but not specifically scheduled on a fixed time/day, at least to go to maintain up to date on finding out when the next one will occur.

    The only events I have heard of are NFP FOMC and CPI and that I just know when NFP will occur. I am sure you will find more, both to the USD and the other majors. If there isn't a guide , it'd be fine if somebody could make one and make it a sticky. I am surprised I haven't managed to loe one.

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Can there be any direct anyone can refer me to that has a listing of different large occasions (as well as tiny ones) that may impact the market, with a concise description of what they are and should expect them. Or if an event is routine but not specifically scheduled on a predetermined time/day, at least where to go to keep current on finding out if the next one will happen.

    The only events I've heard of are NFP FOMC and CPI and that I just know when NFP will happen. I'm sure you will find more, both to the USD and the other majors. If there isn't a guide already, it'd be fine if someone could make one and make it a sticky. I'm surprised I have not been able to find one.

    Assess the news calendar on the home page of this site. That's the best calendar out there. The news marked with a red or mustard icon would be the ones you should be seeking to prevent trading during.
