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.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the full prompt above with the Copy button.
  2. Fill in your inputs. Replace each bracketed placeholder with your specifics: [TICKER / theme]
  3. Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and run. Read the reality guardrail below before you act on the output.

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.
