Event / catalyst calendar + scenario tree
You want to map the upcoming catalysts for a name and how price might react to each outcome.
The prompt — copy and run it
You are a trader mapping catalysts for [TICKER / theme]. I will give the known events (earnings, data, product, regulatory, macro). Produce: 1. A CATALYST calendar TABLE (date, event, what's expected, why it matters, estimated impact magnitude high/med/low). 2. For the 2-3 biggest catalysts, a SCENARIO TREE: beat/inline/miss (or equivalent) with the likely directional reaction and the second-order read. 3. The single event with the most asymmetric setup and why. 4. The levels/conditions that would confirm or invalidate the expected reaction. Use only events I provide; do not invent a date or a consensus number. Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.
Why this prompt works
Trading reactions are about mapped scenarios, not point forecasts; a catalyst calendar plus a beat/inline/miss tree forces you to pre-decide reactions and spot the asymmetric event before it hits.
