How Trading Calendar Hub works
Trading Calendar Hub is an independent research tool for traders who want to know what is scheduled before they commit capital. The calendar framework is credited to 40-year veteran trader Raghee Horner, whose Dow Theory-based approach inspired the forward earnings windows used across the site.

1. Our Mission & Institutional Risk Philosophy
Our mission is simple: make scheduled risk visible. Professional desks maintain event calendars because known catalysts — earnings, central-bank decisions, inflation data and derivatives expirations — account for a large share of the sudden moves that damage portfolios. Individual traders rarely have that infrastructure in one place.
We believe the first question for any trade is not "how much can this make?" but "what has to happen before I exit?" Every page on the site is built to answer that question: which heavyweight companies report, which macro releases land in the same window, and whether sector trends are confirming one another.
The 2-, 4- and 6-week windows organize information; they do not reproduce Raghee Horner's entry, exit or risk-management rules. For her Earnings Run-Up Strategy rules, refer to Raghee's original Earnings Run-Up Strategy video.
2. Data Architecture & Calculation Methodology
Sector performance is time-normalized: each sector ETF is set to a 0% starting point at the beginning of the lookback window, so all 11 sectors are compared from the same line.
- 1-Month return = (close today ÷ close 21 trading days ago − 1) × 100
- 3-Month return = (close today ÷ close 63 trading days ago − 1) × 100
- Constituent weights come from the official Select Sector SPDR ETF holdings (% of fund assets), with each sector's top 10 sorted by weight.
- Synchronization runs automatically each trading day after the market close; every panel shows the time its data was last updated, in Central Time.
Earnings dates and report timing (before the open or after the close) are read from the same daily dataset. When the data source is unavailable, the site shows an error message rather than substituting estimated values. Macro release dates follow official schedules where published and standard monthly cadence otherwise, and are labeled accordingly.
3. Editorial Standards, Financial Disclaimer & Contact
Educational articles on this site are written to explain market mechanics, not to recommend securities. We credit the sources of frameworks we use, avoid attributing rules to anyone that they have not published, and correct errors when they are reported.
Nothing on Trading Calendar Hub is investment advice. Trading involves risk of loss; read the full Financial Disclaimer and our Privacy Policy.
