Event-driven trading focuses on positioning before and reacting after scheduled events that will definitively move market prices. Elections, court decisions, economic data releases, and policy announcements are prime examples. The strategy involves researching the likely outcomes and their market implications before the event, then either taking positions in advance or trading the immediate aftermath.
Pre-event positioning carries the risk of being wrong, but often offers better prices. Post-event trading is safer but offers smaller opportunities. Combine both approaches: take a moderate pre-event position and be ready to add or exit quickly after the event.
