FOMC Statement tomorrow:
聽From CNBC.com
The Federal Reserve is expected to say this week it is moving forward with interest rate hikes and considering other policy tightening, reversing the easy policies it put in place to fight the pandemic. The Fed begins its two-day meeting Tuesday and on Wednesday afternoon, the central bank is expected to issue a new statement that shows it is resolved to fight inflation. Against the backdrop of a violent stock market correction, Fed officials are expected to say they are ready to push up the fed funds rate from zero as soon as March.
The following are my PERSONAL suggestions on trading during FOMC days:
路聽聽聽聽Reduce trading size
路聽聽聽聽Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
路聽聽聽聽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).
路聽聽聽聽Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
路聽聽聽聽Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
路聽聽聽聽Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
路聽聽聽聽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.
路聽聽聽聽Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
路聽聽聽聽Be patient and be disciplined
路聽聽聽聽If in doubt, stay out!!
