    Hi All

    Does anyone know where I can get historical and current economic data where both Forecast and Actual fields present.
    In particular, I am looking for all that important numbers: GDP, Unemployment, manufacturing, etc.
    I can see all the data I need at ForexFactory as a Chart, when you click on Details of the Economic events
    The problem is that they display chart but I need actual data table. (Any chance I can extract it from ForexFactory ?)

    I am building my own Economic Surprise Indicator similar to Citigroup Economic Surprise indicator.
    For this thing to work, I need historical both Forecast and Actual data.

    I know it all very conveniently can be seen on Bloomberg. I am looking for a poor-version of bloomberg :) I can even pay a little for the data as long as it is in Downloadable by http or any other format.

    So any source you know ?

    Thank you
    JohnY.
     
  2. maybe you can find some of that data on Quandl?
    (at least for the historical part...)
