Regulatory / Legal Calendar Trading

Keep a running calendar of scheduled regulatory and court decisions (FDA drug-approval deadlines known as PDUFA dates, Supreme Court opinion days, SEC ruling dates) and take a position before each one based on your read of the likely outcome. The edge comes from doing focused homework on a niche event most traders ignore, so you price the binary more accurately than the crowd before the ruling lands.

What you need to run it

Maintained calendar of legal/regulatory events
Domain research sources (PACER, FDA.gov, SEC filings)
Exit plan for both favorable and adverse rulings
