What you'll learn
- Calculate pip value and convert lot sizes (standard/mini/micro) for a USD account and apply the margin formula correctly
- Size a position so a stop loss costs exactly X% of your account using position_size = (Account × Risk%) ÷ (Stop pips × Pip value per lot)
- Read and interpret central bank statements, minutes and forward guidance to estimate likely currency impact
- Use the economic calendar to build a trading plan for high-impact releases (CPI, NFP, GDP), including expected volatility windows
- Translate inflation and employment surprises into likely short- and medium-term FX moves and construct scenario-based trade rules
- Plan trades that combine technical entries with macro catalysts, including entry, stop, position sizing and contingency plans
- Identify and trade (or avoid) risk-on / risk-off flows, carry trade pressures and safe-haven dynamics alongside correlated assets
- Backtest and journal macro-driven setups with clear metrics so you can iterate and improve your event trading
