A typical post picks up 34 interactions against 229K followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 56 original posts, its engagement rate beats 29% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 0.324% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.59% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 56 posts sampled, 45% carry an image or video and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 827 interactions, about 24x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Forex Factory's engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 19% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.015%, Forex Factory sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,694 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,880 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 45% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 29% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 259 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    🇺🇸 US PPI is coming up tomorrow. This release has added importance because PPI usually follows CPI. This month, the order flips. Expect more volatility as traders use PPI to gauge inflation and position for Friday's CPI. https://t.co/OcE2FmghMm

    🇺🇸 Friday’s US jobs report is the only major labor read before the October FOMC meeting. Forecast: 89K vs 162K prior. The previous NFP release beat expectations, eased labor concerns, repriced rate hike odds, and pushed USD higher. Another surprise could move markets again. https://t.co/wXmbLDnlkW

    🇺🇸 US CPI is due in tomorrow’s NY AM session It’s the final inflation read before next week’s FOMC decision, with the Fed already in blackout. Hike odds are now at 70% after firm PPI data and last week’s NFP beat. A hot CPI strengthens the case; a soft print could unwind it. https://t.co/2Wm5JEaJiH

    The Fed delivered a unanimous 25 bp hike, taking the target range to 3.75%–4.00%. The dot plot points to one more hike this year, but the path beyond that is less certain. Chair Warsh speaks next. Follow along: https://t.co/uvYDpsucx6

    🇺🇸 FOMC Preview: Markets see roughly a 90% chance of a 25bp Fed hike. The big question isn't the decision itself. It’s the path forward. One-and-done, or the start of a new hiking cycle? The dot plot, any dissents, and Chair Warsh’s press conference offer the first clues. https://t.co/dDfcCon62L

    🇪🇺 Markets are confident that the ECB will raise its Main Refinancing Rate to 2.65% tomorrow. EUR traders will look past the headline for clues on December’s meeting. In June, Lagarde said the ECB was not seeing second-round inflation effects, while staff projections showed inflation returning to the 2% target in 2028. A hawkish shift in either could jolt the rate path.

    🇺🇸🏛️ A busy week of Fed speakers follows last week’s rate hike. Goolsbee opens the week in London with a discussion on monetary policy and the economic outlook. Williams and Jefferson then speak at the New York Fed’s Treasury Market Conference. Barkin is also scheduled to discuss the economy. Later in the week, Williams will appear in England for a macro policy forum and a monetary economics panel. Barr, Hammack, and Paulson will appear at events focused on housing, inflation, and fintech. Not every appearance will be policy-focused, but traders will be listening for additional color on inflation, the economy, and the path for rates.

A typical post picks up 34 interactions against 229K followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 56 original posts, its engagement rate beats 29% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

What is Forex Factory's engagement rate on X?
Forex Factory (@ForexFactory) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 56 original posts from the last 30 days against 229,000 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.015%, Forex Factory sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @ForexFactory have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @ForexFactory post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.27 posts per day across the measured window.
