Free Trading Tools for Every Market

A curated set of free calendars, converters and technical scanners used by the MarketsHQ desk to plan trades, track catalysts and manage risk across forex, indices, stocks, commodities and crypto.

What you can do here

Every serious trader relies on the same handful of daily utilities: a calendar to spot the next catalyst, an earnings schedule to sidestep single-stock volatility, a converter to size positions in the right currency, and a technical scanner to check whether momentum agrees with the plan. Instead of juggling four different sites, we built these four tools in-house — free, ad-light and consistent with the rest of the MarketsHQ workflow.

Pair the tools below with our live market data and daily analysis to move from screening an idea to executing it in the same place. New to trading? Start with the MarketsHQ Academy for structured lessons on how to interpret the data these tools surface.

Open Technical Analysis

How professional traders use these tools

  1. Start with the calendar. Every morning, open the economic calendar and mark the high-impact events for your session. If CPI, an FOMC decision or NFP is on deck, size down and avoid taking new positions minutes before the release.
  2. Screen earnings risk. If you trade indices or single stocks, cross-check the earnings calendar for names in your book. A megacap tech print can move the S&P 500 by more than a macro release.
  3. Confirm with technicals. Before entering, run the pair or ticker through the technical analysis summary. If the higher-timeframe read disagrees with your intraday setup, wait for alignment or trim size.
  4. Size in the right currency. Use the currency converter to translate risk-per-trade from your account currency into the instrument's quote currency — the simplest way to keep risk consistent across pairs.
