Most retail traders find out how markets react to news the hard way — after the trade. Vantage runs the numbers first: years of price data against every major economic release, so you know the odds before Friday’s NFP, not after.
Median 15-minute move, across 16 years.
Four tools. Two are live.
Each solves a specific problem retail traders lose money on every week.
News Impact Explorer
See how markets historically react to 60 economic events. Aggregated across 16 years and 41 instruments. Surprise-conditional analysis included.
Calm Zones
6,720 half-hours. Which ones have no news scheduled. For 28 FX pairs across 16 years of history, the fraction of each half-hour slot free of high or medium macro events.
Prop Firm Simulator
Know your pass probability before you pay a challenge fee. Real trade upload, real math, real answers. FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers.
Reversal Projection
When a new high or low forms, RPD scans history for similar formations and projects likely reversal zones for that move.
Stop guessing how markets react. See it.
Every retail trader has seen NFP whipsaw them. Nobody quantifies it. Financial Source charges $299 a month for this data. Bloomberg terminals are $2,000. We give it away.

EURUSD Thu 12:30 is quiet 15% of the time. Here's why.
127 of 832 Thursdays at 12:30 UTC were calm on EURUSD. Why the number isn't zero, and why the tool marks this cell DST-ambiguous.
Four XAUUSD reaction records fell in four weeks
Fed, GDP, NFP, CPI: four US macro events between June 17 and July 14 each broke the largest 15-minute XAUUSD reaction on record, by 1.74x to 2.33x. What the data shows, and what it doesn't.
How to check what a release does to your pair
Every scheduled release has a track record. Here is how to read it in News Impact Explorer, panel by panel, using NFP on gold as the worked example.
What actually happens to EURUSD in the 15 minutes after NFP (and the next five days)
195 releases, sorted by surprise, measured from 15 minutes out to 5 days. The story isn't drift. It's asymmetric: beats mean-revert, misses hold, in-line does nothing.
Why your backtested win rate doesn't survive contact with real news events
Some of your backtested wins and losses came from news flow that had nothing to do with your setup. Here's how much, and how to filter it out.
