The examples teach workflow and risk framing. They do not provide trade recommendations, personalized advice, leverage guidance, or guaranteed outcomes.

Chapter 01

Use lifecycle badge before opening detail

Trader question

Is the event upcoming, released, awaiting print, scenario ready, or context-only?

The lifecycle badge is the first gate. It tells the learner whether detail can support preparation, post-release review, a wait state, or context-only source reading.

Desk checklist

  • Read lifecycle before opening detail.
  • Separate preparation states from review states.
  • Do not open detail as a reaction to price movement alone.
