Test the dates against your own trades
The lab's chart draws the sky live over price, and the journal measures what each date actually did to your trading — win rate by moon quarter included, with the sample sizes to keep it honest.
Release dates come from the agencies' published schedules, checked 29 Sep 2026 — BLS and BEA are published through Dec 2026 (next year's schedule lands each fall), FOMC through 2027. FOMC dates stay tentative until the meeting before each confirms them. Rhythm times are the venues' own mechanics; CME hours are the weekly rhythm, not a holiday feed. Sky dates are pure astronomy, computed to the minute — dates, not forecasts.
