Chapter 01
Upcoming soon means prepare, not predict
Trader question
Which near-term event needs a source, time, and caveat before the table is opened?
The upcoming-soon lane is a preparation rail. It tells the learner what release window is close, not what the market should do after it.
Desk checklist
- Read the local release time.
- Check the official source when dates matter.
- Write preparation language instead of prediction language.

Daily Brief replaces table overload
A dense event table collapses into upcoming soon, next 24 hours, and recently released lanes before the learner opens rows.
A dense table fills the screen.
The Daily Brief rail slides in as three lanes.
Upcoming, next 24h, and released cards separate by verb.
The final frame says brief first, table second.

Chapter 01
Upcoming soon means prepare, not predict
Which near-term event needs a source, time, and caveat before the table is opened?
The upcoming-soon lane is a preparation rail. It tells the learner what release window is close, not what the market should do after it.
Daily Brief upcoming_soon group, event time, importance, and Events tab handoff
- Read the local release time.
- Check the official source when dates matter.
- Write preparation language instead of prediction language.
Chapter 02
Next 24 hours means schedule the review
Which event needs a reminder and review slot rather than immediate interpretation?
The next-24-hour lane is planning space. The learner schedules a review, sets an alert if useful, and avoids forcing a future card into today's conclusion.
Daily Brief next_24h group, My alerts, alert eligibility, and reminder state
- Separate tomorrow's monitoring from today's review.
- Use alerts as memory aids.
- Avoid treating a future event as present evidence.
Chapter 03
Recently released means compare print, expectation, and reaction
What changed after the release, and what still needs review?
Recently released cards still matter because the learner must compare actual, forecast, previous, revisions, and early reaction before writing a note.
Daily Brief recently_released group, actual/forecast/previous fields, event lifecycle badge, and event detail handoff
- Read actual, forecast, previous, and revision if available.
- Check the reaction window without treating it as continuation proof.
- Write what changed, not what to do.
Chapter 04
Let coverage and relevance tags decide drilldown priority
Which brief card deserves event-detail drilldown first?
Coverage badges, relevance tags, and focus-scenario teasers decide whether a card deserves detail-page attention or remains context-only.
Coverage profile, relevance tags, focus scenario teaser, scenario support state, and event detail route
- Read coverage before scenario interest.
- Use relevance tags to prioritize the desk queue.
- Keep thin-coverage cards as context unless the question demands them.
Chapter 05
My alerts is a queue, not a command list
What should an alert card make me remember, not do?
Alert badges help the learner return to preparation or review. They are queue items and memory aids, not action instructions.
My alerts group, alerts locked state, Telegram option, recent alert events, and alert eligibility
- Treat alerts as reminders.
- Check whether alerts are locked or available by plan.
- Do not turn an alert into entry, exit, or urgency language.
Chapter 06
Turn the brief into a three-line desk note
Can I write prepare, monitor, and review lines without making a trade claim?
The Daily Brief becomes useful when it produces a short note: what to prepare, what to monitor, and what to review, with source and uncertainty still attached.
Daily Brief, Events tab, event detail handoff, alert handoff, and desk-note routine
- Write one prepare line.
- Write one monitor line.
- Write one review line with actual/forecast/previous context.
