Having an understanding of possible future events that could affect your position either favorably or unfavorably is a key distinction between a beginner and advanced trader. 

Therefore, glancing ahead to future events; earnings, dividends, splits etc that might effect your position or the timeline helps you avoid situations that will guarantee losing trades.

For example if you know that a particular stock has earnings that are coming up in three weeks you might avoid trading a strategy where you could be hurt from an implied volatility drop after earnings.
