FOMC days are definitely different type of trading days!
Quiet choppy pre FOMC and then volatile, two sided action followed by a small sell off and then a sharp rally.
Write some notes in your trading journal. What the market did, how did you react, as much insight as you can so before the next FOMC meeting you can look back and use the notes for better trading.
Intraday ES ( mini SP500 ) chart below for your review.
Note the chart is a RANGE BAR chart, 12 ticks range bars in this case, covering the action from the actual announcement.

The different pulse of the markets on different days makes a big difference. The strategies used on fast and volatile market may not work when the same market is choppy and quieter. I think that maybe there are some rare strategies that will work in all market environments but I have never seen one yet….So be aware of how the market/ markets you are trading are acting.
What type of action did the overnight session had?
How did the first 30 minutes of primary session went ( in markets like stock index futures where the underlying asset, i.e. stocks, just opened)?
Does it seem like the day ahead will be one of those speedy, crazy type of price action? or perhaps choppy? possibly a trending day?
Certain strategies will work better. Know what weapons in your trading arsenal will work better in what type of market conditions and try to adjust accordingly.

Looking at Short Term Options & Support and Resistance Levels 3.09.2021

We started the week exactly where we left off….High, erratic type of volatility. It started on the open Sunday night and did not stop all the way through the session.
When markets move that fast, one way you may want to explore is trading very short term options rather than futures.
Example: You think the SP500 ( ES or MES) are going down today. If you use futures and place a “normal stop” most chances today is that you would have gotten stopped out. A possible alternative to explore is to use the Monday expiration mini SP options. If you buy a put, your risk in that specific example is limited to premium + cost of trade.
You will have MUCH better staying power and a chance to profit if you are correct.
This is obviously a very simple, briefly explained example but our series 3 brokers will be happy to expand, answer questions and review the + and _ of diff. strategies.
One last note about the options, at times activity on options can be used as another possible signal. Example, market is rallying but the closer to the money puts are actually gaining value? that is a sign that there is additional demand and possible pressure lower.
