So my question (for everyone) is ...given the news hit at exactly 730am CST is it logical for me to believe I can become accustomed to trusting there wouldn't be more news, ...if I begin checking the calendar of scheduled releases in advance each day? Because in this instance I can make a case for both being long and being short, and short is the more intuitive choice even tho long is the stronger TA choice. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but I struggled hard with the details before I found a case for going long.
You can trust the calendar regarding scheduled econ number and earnings releases.
So if the calendar says there are no more important news releases for the day which might have a heavy impact on the market, this is usually the case.
However, there is always a risk of unscheduled news hitting the market.
