Know when to STAY OUT of the market. Most beginners get destroyed by news events because they don't know they're coming.
All times shown in Eastern Time (ET / New York). Convert to your local timezone. CME futures trade on ET.
FOMC, NFP, CPI — these events can move NQ 100-200 points in seconds. No technical setup survives that kind of volatility.
