Today will be a big earnings day with companies like Apple (AAPL) reporting Q1 earnings for 2020. As a Futures trader, it is always wise to pay attention to these reports, especially when the companies reporting take up a big portion of an index.
My opinion on trading these types of economic reports is to be patient. I now stay flat (I do not hold any open positions) until the reports are complete and the market begins to trend. I like to see the volatility that comes from these reports to slow before taking a position.
