FOMC<\/em><\/h1>\n

Tomorrow, we have FOMC with rate decision at 1 PM Central and statement at 1:30 pm Central.<\/p>\n

Trading stock index futures on FOMC days calls for a measured, highly selective approach. The market tends to drift into a low volume \u201cvacuum\u201d in the hours leading up to the announcement, where exaggerated price moves can occur without conviction. This is not the time to force entries\u2014no trade is better than a bad trade.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s critical to anticipate these zigzag patterns and avoid being lured into false signals. Reducing trading size is one of the smartest ways to manage risk on these days\u2014volatility spikes can magnify both gains and losses, and scaling down helps preserve capital and composure.<\/p>\n

Once the FOMC statement hits the wire, the real storm begins. Price action can whipsaw violently as traders digest the language and implications for interest rates. This is when patience pays off. Choosing entry points wisely\u2014often by waiting for post-announcement patterns to stabilize\u2014can mean the difference between catching a favorable trend and getting caught in the chop.<\/p>\n

Discipline is everything: tight setups, controlled size, and a willingness to sit on your hands if conditions aren\u2019t ideal can make all the difference. The FOMC isn\u2019t a lottery\u2014it\u2019s a test of focus and restraint.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n

Sept. Mini SP 500<\/h1>\n

The September Emini S&P satisfied its first upside PriceCount objective last month and is consolidating with a sideways trade. At this point, IF the chart can resume its rally, it would have to contend with contract highs before it could potentially take aim at the second count to the 6480 area.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an \u2018exact\u2019 science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. <\/em><\/p>\n

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.<\/em>\u200a<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
