Podcast: The Trader’s Lab

Remember the Brexit vote or the 2020 COVID crash? These “memorable news” events create pure chaos and massive volatility. For many, it’s a gamble; for a few, it’s a huge opportunity. This episode explores how to trade these “Black Swan” events.

The lure is obvious: the potential for huge profits in minutes. But most traders get burned trying to catch the initial spike.

Professionals use a “reaction strategy.” They wait for the chaos to pass. We cover two main professional strategies:

1. Trading the New, Confirmed Trend: Waiting for the dust to settle and catching the “second wave.”

2. Fading the Move: A contrarian bet that the initial spike was a complete overreaction.

Learn how to trade the consequences of the news, not the initial explosion.
