Markets react to information, and much of the most important information arrives on a schedule. The economic calendar lists these releases in advance, which lets you prepare instead of being ambushed.
Interest rate decisions, inflation data and major employment reports tend to move markets the most. Spreads can widen and price can gap around these moments.
Knowing the exact time and expected figure lets you decide whether to trade the event, avoid it, or reduce size.
Price often moves on the difference between the actual number and what was expected, not the number itself. A strong figure that was already priced in can even trigger a fall.
This is why the reaction to news frequently surprises traders who only read the headline.
Check the calendar before each session, mark high impact events and plan your exposure around them.
For many newer traders, standing aside during the most volatile releases is a perfectly good strategy.
