Liquidity
Event
The Fund Manager's Guide to Macro, Catalysts, and Event-Driven Markets — a professional framework for trading around the events that move markets, by Guy Gentile.
Liquidity Event
by Guy Gentile · Kindle Edition
Written for fund managers, portfolio managers, and serious traders who need a repeatable process for reading macro regimes, liquidity conditions, and catalyst-driven dislocations. Drawing on decades of active trading across equities, derivatives, and event-heavy markets, Guy Gentile lays out a practical desk system for sizing, timing, and managing risk when central banks, economic prints, geopolitical shocks, and corporate events reset prices.
This is not a beginner's guide to indicators. It is a professional risk and execution manual for managers who trade catalysts with size and must account for every basis point.
Inside the book
The Macro-to-Micro funnel
Translate regime shifts into single-stock and sector setups — top down, every time.
The Liquidity Ladder & Regime Matrix
Score conditions before risking capital. Know when the market will pay for your risk — and when it won't.
Event Scorecards
A repeatable prep sheet for Fed days, CPI/PPI releases, earnings, geopolitical catalysts, and M&A.
The Four Windows
Pre-event, headline, immediate reaction, post-event — a framework for execution when prices reset in seconds.
Annotated case structures
How forced flows, index rebalances, and funding pressures create asymmetry the prepared desk can harvest.
Institutional risk routines
Position sizing, stop logic, and post-trade review — the way it's done when every basis point is accounted for.
Who it's for
Fund managers, portfolio managers, prop traders, and serious independent traders who size into events and need a process — not a hunch. If your P&L is decided on Fed days, CPI prints, and earnings nights, this is the desk manual.
