FOMC came and gone. market had its normal volatile two sided action but finished on the highs.
I have said this before, many times you can see the “true market reaction” the day after FOMC.
Tomorrow and Friday (monthly un-employment figures) should be interesting and perhaps volatile trading days. Continue reading “FOMC Sparks True Futures Market Reaction, November 4th 2010”
A BIG 24 hours lay ahead….I suspect some volatility to hit the night markets as election results come out and then we jump right into FOMC tomorrow.
FOMC tomrrow around 2:15 Eastern time.
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’re 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 sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement.
I am including a five-minutes chart from Sept. 21st of this year, which was the last FOMC we had for your reference.
Two day FOMC starts tomorrow along with preliminary election news. Should provide for some interesting action in the second part of the trading week.
In between I still don’t see a longer term or a medium term swing trading set up I like, hence I currently focus on intraday set ups which I share in my daily “live charts/ webinar” service.

To be honest I don’t have any feel for the medium term outlook of stock indices.
I do like some of the intraday set ups we get in different markets such as Crude, Euro and the Mini SP.
We do have some reports tomorrow and it is the last trading day of the month so we should see some interesting price action.
As far as “mental tip”: keep reminding yourself that the hardest battle for a trader is waiting, patience and fighting ones own demons that normally appear when losing trades happen. Try to be among the tough ones who can control the negative emotions losing trades bring out and your trading will progress.

Stocks finished pretty much unchanged today, which brings me to another point….
There ARE OTHER MARKETS one can day-trade….Most day-traders focus on the Mini SP 500 and it’s relatives:
Mini Nasdaq, Mini Dow, Mini Russell etc. because of volume, familiarity, trading hours etc.
However, markets like bonds, Euro Currency, Crude oil, beans, corn to name a few do offer day trading opportunities and risks. Different market have different personalities which may fit different traders. Different markets also have different trading hours when volatility is present, different volatility at different times and other
characteristics which traders may want to explore. During the day-trading charts service I hold daily, I feature the mini SP 500 chart along with Euro currency and Crude oil and possible trade set ups.
As always I recommend using demo account when exploring trading in market you normally don’t trade, as well as performing some research regarding tick size, price behavior and more.
