FOMC Tomorrow + Trading Support and Resistance Levels 3.16.2022

Get Real Time updates and more on our private FB group!
Looks like the FED will raise rates for the first time in few years tomorrow or at least this is the consensus.
The following are my PERSONAL 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 4325.00 with a stop at 4319.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 4319.75 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.
·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.
·    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!!

Also note, Margin increase in several markets.
Volatility is higher and some moves are very violent, have a risk management, trade management in plan, don’t jump in the water with out some sort of a life vest.

Cross Currents to Fuel Volatility Even Higher

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker
It’s clear the market has been reacting to the minute by minute changes from the international communities responses to the Russian Invasion into another sovereign country. These currents have been pushing markets violently the past week and are expected to continue to do so for days and weeks to come. However , we can’t lose sight of 3 very important domestic issues that could have far reaching global impacts as well. Here in the U.S. , on Tuesday night President Joe Biden is scheduled to give his first “State of the Union” address to the American citizens and world. Without a doubt, the futures markets will be reacting during our evening session Tuesday night March 1st 9:00 P.M. EST. Wednesday Morning 10:00 A.M. ending Thursday afternoon, Fed Chair Jerome Powell presents his report⁠—called the Monetary Policy Report⁠—that is submitted semiannually to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban
Affairs and to the House Committee on Financial Services, along with
testimony from the Federal Reserve Board Chair., this will be the first time Fed Chair will be answering questions directly related to the Russia/Ukraine conflict since the conflict began.
On Friday Morning at 8;30 a.m. EST the most watched labor department number is released: Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) also known as the Employment situation report. Here are this months expectations from Econoday.com

Adjusting for Volatility & Futures Trading Levels 2.24.2022

Get Real Time updates and more on our private FB group!

Adjusting for volatility

By Josh Meyers, Cannon Trading Series 3 Broker
Expansion, contraction, and regime switches. How does volatility impact you? It’s relative to each of us, our trade style, risk tolerance, even our headspace. Babysitting tight-stops in a noisy order book can make trading miserable, but a market order triggered late is counter-productive. The results of volatility and leverage can be shocking. A few losses on a volatile day can impact a trader more than they realize. Sometimes the risk in trading comes from peeking over the edge or bending your rules because “today has more opportunity.” Trading the structure of the markets may help with consistency during volatile times. Stop sizes and take profits become relative to what you’re experiencing and the environment may seem more familiar. Although trading result may be amplified, this can be mitigated by sizing your position down.
Psychologically preparing to engage a volatile environment can help as well. Volatility mixed with leverage is an advanced-level test of your mettle or resolve, and traders that get comfortable in the environment tend to enjoy it. Something notable is the idea of the E-Micro contract sizing. The reduced exposure of these contracts can make fast markets seem more manageable, and the scale of the moves created from volatility may reduce the impact of commissions on your bottom line. Larger contract sizes are proportionately more commission friendly, but only if they don’t impact your performance. Trading smaller on volatile days may give you performance edge over other traders who are dealing with challenges of trading larger than usual. Trading the correct size should yield the best result and help you navigate the mental and emotional challenges of a volatile market.

Data Dependent? Will Crude Oil and Grain Prices weigh on Fed Minutes? and is this data relevant in the Fed’s decision making process? This Wednesday @ 2PM eastern the Federal Reserve Board releases to the public the Minutes from the January 25-26th meeting. we will find out the answers on Wednesday and the market will react. 1. Yes they had an announcement on the 26th about rates and 2. Yes a statement was released on the 26th that included this language ” The Committee’s assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on public health, labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.” and Yes the Federals Open Market Committee on the 26th disclosed it’s “principles for Reducing the Size of the Federal Reserve’s Balance sheet” https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm These however are not the Minutes of the Meeting, which , when released on Wednesday are market movers. Traders and Analysts copiously review the language used, looking for clues to Policy. The Minutes do include the complete economic analysis compiled by officials and whether or not Members had voiced opposition to the majority of the group If the FOMC minutes reveal inflation related pressure from a breach of the nationalized borders of Ukraine by Russia, the concerns will not only effect and Impact the world Crude Oil market, but will inevitably impact global prices of Grain, namely Wheat.
