I’m not sure what you mean by the apex calendar.
We do not post (barely ever) directional bias on news. We have a trading plan that shows we expect either a big move (up or down) or we expect a range bound move.
I’m the elite room and pit I posted commentary on nfp stating though unemployment dropped and nfp improved on new and the previous number (revision up) the us had the 2nd lowest participation rate in the workforce since January of 1978 and chop should be expected.
The bottom line is be aware of the news, know what matters and what doesn’t. Know if there is a big move or a neutral move expected and trade accordingly. If post trading news be aware of it and the results but trust the chart.
There is a calendar that we feed with actual numbers and forecast that is just analyst consensus it is not buy sell etc… it’s not apex driven just public information. We have a lot of videos on how to trade the news under news questions. Check them out there are some great lessons and strategies you can apply.
In most cases straddles and iron condors on spreads are better than binary strangles and butterflies on news I go into this in more detail in the videos.
