Auditing Margin Leverage Before US Macro Releases

Keeping catalyst timing next to your chart canvas

Technical setups regularly sweep both range highs and lows within minutes of CPI or FOMC announcements. Viewing the 30-day Macro Calendar alongside your Chart Canvas stops news-driven wicks from mimicking normal breakout flow.

Four checks 24 hours ahead of high-impact prints

• Measure combined directional beta across all futures and spot Portfolio Books rather than checking isolated tickers.
• Verify invalidation stops sit outside historical event wick ranges or reduce position sizing before liquidity thins.
• Confirm unleveraged reserve weight across cash equivalents or gold holdings (PAXG) stays intact.
• Tag macro catalyst context inside Trade Log notes so post-trade reviews separate news slippage from structural edge.
