How do you read a news headline safely?

Headlines move markets before you've finished reading them, and the first version is often wrong or incomplete — revisions follow within minutes. Trading the headline means trading the most unreliable version of the story.

What's your routine when a big headline hits?

• how you verify before acting
• whether you trade first moves at all
• the headline that burned you

The calendar tells you when headlines are due; that's the cheap edge.
