Reading the Economic Calendar — AXIOM Education Series Book 4

LEVEL 2 · TIMING · BOOK 4

Picks up exactly where Trading the Sessions (Book 3) leaves off. Book 3 told you when the market is awake. This one tells you when it is about to move on purpose.

Every week, a handful of scheduled economic releases move currencies harder than anything else on the chart — and most beginners meet them by accident, in an open position, wondering why a stop-loss filled forty pips away. This book is about seeing them coming.

• Why price moves on the surprise, not the number — the forecast is already in the price before the release lands
• A calendar row taken apart: time, currency, impact, actual, forecast, previous — and the three settings to fix once
• The releases that matter, and the one idea underneath all of them: interest rates are the price of holding a currency
• Which currencies a release moves — a US figure reaches every pair with a dollar in it, including the one you thought was safe
• The sixty seconds around a release: the spread widening before anything happens, the jump, the slippage, and why the first spike so often reverses
• An honest look at "volume" on a retail FX platform — what tick volume can and cannot tell you
• Trade it, hold through it, or stand aside — three doors, and the one rule that keeps your risk the number you agreed to
• The routine: ten minutes a week, two minutes a morning, fifteen seconds before every entry
• Proving it on your own record with three new journal columns and four questions to ask after thirty trades

Four full-colour diagrams, a printable calendar card, a glossary and sources. Assumes Books 1 to 3 and nothing else.

Next: Book 5, Candlestick Patterns — the first book about what the chart is actually saying.
