Map the week ahead
List results, macro releases, policy meetings, expiries and global events that may affect liquidity or volatility. Confirm dates through official sources.
Review exposure before forming a view
Check concentration by company, sector and asset type, as well as leverage and upcoming cash needs. Portfolio risk matters more than a single market forecast.
Prepare scenarios instead of certainty
Write a base case, an upside case and a downside case with observable triggers. Review the plan when evidence changes rather than defending an outdated view.
