Potential Market Movers - Providers??

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you might know any useful providers of lists of potential market movers ahead of, let's say, the next trading week. I've once seen on Business Insider an article/page that listed all the potential market movers that were about to happen the following week such as:

- important GDP/unemployment/etc data to be released
- important meetings to take place
- etc..

If you guys happen know any website that specializes in this aspect please do share it here!

Thanks !

P.S.: And also, for a home-trader, what would you suggest to use in order to get all the important information as fast as possible? - for example in the previous weeks when EZ's GDP has fallen short of expectations and the Euro fell sharply....how can I, as a home trader, get this information before the market has already reacted and the drift took place?

Sales & Trading Career Roadmap (optional)

“John listened before giving advice. I told him I had accepted an offer at Bank of America but was still interested in JLL and Wellington. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked what I wanted from my career and helped me think about which path would give me more options. I also liked that he was honest about what he knew and didn’t know. He gave me a clear reason to keep working toward JLL, while reminding me that Bank of America was still a good place to start. When I practiced my interview answer, he told me what worked and gave me one simple way to improve it. That made the feedback easy to use. Most of all, John made me feel less stressed about figuring everything out right now. He offered to help with a mock interview too, which meant a lot to me. ”

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”

Which, I suppose, is the utopian dream of the home-trader?...

You would not be able to do that as a home trader. Nowadays, this kind of information is released electronically at a very precise time, and low-latency arbitrageurs with colocated systems are going to react in a few microseconds.

If you have access to a Bloomberg terminal, look at the graphs and you'll see very sharp movements after economic releases.

So the only way for the home trader is to actually forecast [don't know how that is possible :))] any exceptionally bad/good data to be published and make the trades way ahead of the announcement....as I also suppose [intuitively] that brokers would be unwilling/unable to sell me anything of the kind when a sharp movement is taking place in that particular product...
