to benefit from this kind of market eventsto identify "trigger" is not that important to us.

You cannot prevent all the trigger. but You can, identify the root.
once you identify the root, you can ride on the falsehood , jump before the majority realize it. (quote from Soros)

March plung is also mainly due to this factor. stock is only the fanciful lookings, while the currency flow is the root. in there, hedge fund plays a major part.
