A major US data release lands today. Around events like this our rules are mechanical, not discretionary:
• Blackout: no new entries in the window around the release
• Open positions: kept, with their stops and targets working at the broker
• After the release: the regime gets re-read, and only then does the next decision happen
Why publish this instead of just doing it quietly? Because "how a system behaves under uncertainty" is the entire product. Anyone can look good in a calm tape.
Recap of the observed impact follows after the release.
Educational content - not financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
