Macro trading playbook

Hey WSO Land,

I was curious if there's a playbook of common macro trades and how the market has reacted to economic headlines historically.

For eg, the latest NFP was released last Friday, once the number came out we sold off a small bit before a sharp rally and eventually risk markets selling off for the day. Any such "macro playbook" would be really valuable to read if it can provide colour on similar historical headline trading strategies.

Thanks for reading. Cheers!
