Also few “Mental pointers” as refreshers. These pointers are taken from a 23 page guide I recently finished which serves as a guide to the daily chart service I offer:

Quick Pointers on the Vast Subject of Trading Psychology
Trading is SO MUCH MENTAL, once you have a concept you believe in, have confidence in it. After that there is a lot of psychological work….

Some examples:

  1. Ability to take losses and know not every trade will be a winner and not every day will be a winner
  2. Ability to stay patient and NOT feel that if you are NOT trading, you are NOT doing your job….
  3. The confidence to stay in winning trades and the discipline to get out of losing trades
  4. Allowing trades some time to work
  5. Not getting down on yourself for “could have should have etc”

Being a hard worker and keeping a journal after certain trading days can only be beneficial for yourself. Being a hard worker, putting in the time and effort to learn new approaches and set ups before deciding if it’s worthy or not.

Big overnight moves as political and other events around the world are moving the markets.

Regardless of Geo-Political events, always keep in mind the time frame YOU are trading, the set ups you like, your trading style and matching money management etc.

STAY DISCIPLINED at all times, don’t let the market put you to sleep and know when your personal environment is distracting you from trading and be disciplined enough NOT to trade when this happens.

Futures Trading Levels, March FOMC Statement

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

We are NOW TRADING JUNE FOR INDICES< EMINIS and CURRENCIES!!!

Heads up to international traders – this Sunday US changed clocks to daylight savings time.

FOMC tomorrow and before that more than a few economic numbers.

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.

My observations suggest choppy, low volume up until announcement, followed by some some sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement. However, with tomorrow early morning reports, we may see more volatility duirng first couple of hours as well. Continue reading “Futures Trading Levels, March FOMC Statement”
