FOMC Tomorrow.
We speculate there is over 90% chance the Fed will raise interest rates by 0.25% based on the Fed funds Futures contract.
FOMC days are quite different in their behavior:
** The FOMC interest rate decision is due at 2:00 ET in the US tomorrow. This is followed by the conference which will provide more clues ( volatility).
FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.
If you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market.
The following are suggestions on trading during FOMC days:
  • Reduce trading size
  • Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
  • Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 2925.00 with a stop at 2919.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 2919.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example ( consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).
  • Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
  • Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
  • Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
  • Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
  • Be patient and be disciplined
  • If in doubt, stay out!!

Good Trading

Top 50 Trading Rules: The Most Common Pitfalls To Avoid When Trading Commodity Futures

Five hundred experienced futures brokers were asked what caused most futures traders to lose money. Their answers reflected the trading experience of more than 10,000 futures traders. You may recognize some of your strengths and weaknesses. Many of the reasons given are very similar from broker to broker. The repetitions stand to demonstrate that, alas, many futures traders lose money for many of the same reasons. Perhaps the statements of these experienced brokers can help you in the sometimes fickle, often intricate, and always interesting marketplace of futures trading.
Here is what they said. 
1. Many futures traders trade without a plan. They do not define specific risk and profit objectives before trading. Even if they establish a plan, they “second guess” it and don’t stick to it, particularly if the trade is a loss. Consequently, they overtrade and use their equity to the limit (are undercapitalized), which puts them in a squeeze and forces them to liquidate positions. Usually, they liquidate the good trades and keep the bad ones.
2. Many traders don’t realize the news they hear and read has, in many cases, already been discounted by the market.Download the PDF and find out what they said.

Commitments of Traders: What are the Big Boys Up To? 
By Jim Wyckoff
I have discussed in past articles how volume and open interest can be used to help identify and confirm market situations and trading opportunities. I’ll take open interest one step farther in this column by examining the Commitments of Traders (C.O.T.) report, issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The C.O.T. report is released bi-weekly–every other Friday afternoon. There is also a C.O.T. report issued on the following Mondays that includes futures and options data. However, this report is not as closely followed as the Friday afternoon report that covers only futures, because the combined futures and options report has less history.
What is most important for the individual trader (you)…. click here to read more
