Know what is coming before the session does.
Scheduled economic releases move index futures harder and faster than anything on the chart. This page keeps the calendar, the session clocks and the current technical read-out in one place, so you can check them before you sit down rather than after a candle surprises you.
What is scheduled, and when
Every upcoming release with its importance rating — three bars for the ones that reliably move the Nasdaq (CPI, NFP, FOMC), one for the quiet ones. Times display in your own timezone automatically. Filter by country using the control in the top-right of the widget.
When the Nasdaq futures session actually runs
CME Globex runs nearly around the clock, but participation does not. These are the windows that matter for MNQ and NQ, in UTC — convert to your own clock once and write it down.
A second opinion on MNQ, across timeframes
TradingView's own aggregate of moving averages and oscillators for the Micro Nasdaq contract. Useful as a sanity check on the timeframe you are trading — not as a trigger. Switch intervals with the tabs.
Where the rest of the complex is trading
Nasdaq, S&P, Dow and Russell futures side by side, plus the dollar index and gold. When the Nasdaq is moving alone, that is a different session from one where everything moves together.
Nasdaq news, newest first
The story behind a move you did not expect is usually here. Read it after the session, not during one — headlines are context, never a reason to click.
The data on this page is supplied by TradingView through their free public widgets, and may be delayed. It is published here as a convenience only. Nothing on this page is investment advice, a recommendation, or a prediction — an economic release being scheduled says nothing about which way price will go, and a technical rating is a calculation, not an opinion worth acting on by itself. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss. Every decision, and its outcome, is yours alone.
