ECONOMIC CALENDAR
economic calendar participation rules
forexfactory.com/calendar
the economic calendar is a form of time
pair with relevant [≥ H1] PD arrays to establish bias
•
high-impact news = volatility
speed and exaggerated manipulation do not invalidate the chart
ideal expansion scenario:
[MON] accumulation
[TUE] manipulation
≥ H1 PD array reversal
high/low of week
[WED – THU] expansion
news volatility injections
trade towards weekly draw
[FRI] return into range
allow the economic calendar to be a roadmap
follow the high-impact news manipulation and expansion in respect to [≥ H1] PD arrays
•
weekly profile + economic calendar
[≥ H1] PD arrays
= time and price
