How to use the calendar
- Sunday: scan the week and note the red-flag events for the pairs you trade.
- Each morning: check today's events and their forecast. Decide in advance whether you will trade through, flatten or trade the release.
- At release time: compare actual vs. forecast. The size of the surprise, not the number itself, drives the move — see our news trading guide.
