“Today” (the day I recorded this episode) I was reminded of how I need to do a better job of deploying my critical thinking skills around the economic calendar. Thankfully the trade I was in turned out really well, but wow, the opposite could have just as easily been true. I know I’ve talked about the economic calendar before on the podcast; however, the lesson I was reminded of “today” is certainly one worth offering up to you as a reminder. Hopefully none of this is coming across as overly dramatic as that’s not my intent. None of this is rocket science, but it does require a bit of thinking on our parts. Let me walk you through this experience and what it can teach/remind us of as active traders in the market.
