News, Sessions and Timing: Know what is coming, and when to stand aside

News changes expectations, and expectations move price. Learn to read an economic calendar in SA time, know the releases that matter, see why surprise moves price, read the sessions, and protect a plan from wide spreads, slippage and gaps. Then write your own news rules.

What you'll be able to do

Learn it in minutes, then use it

Each lesson is a few short ideas, each one tried straight away in a small activity: a calculation, a chart to mark up, a trade to take or skip.

  • Read an economic calendar: impact, forecast, previous and actual, in SAST
  • Name the big releases and what each measures
  • Explain why the surprise, not the number, moves price
  • Say how gold, US30, NAS100 and synthetics react to news differently
  • Know the sessions, the US open and the quiet hours on an SA clock
  • Write news rules for before, during and after a high-impact release
