Agree. That's why I try to reduce my own influence in my trade execution. :)

I had 2 choices today but opted for the 3rd less profitable strategy.

Oops, didn't expect the late selloff. Relative volume was NOT that great. Not sure what that means. Once home, do a post mortem.

October 30 update

I was expecting fireworks but the reaction was fairly mute overnight.

US open was uneventful too. Hence decided to put in a trade.

Fading again but for a change, took a LONG around 2079:)

October 30 update

Early start tomorrow and hence unlikely to trade.

Likely to be lots of action tomorrow as overnight volume is relatively high due to BOJ.

Not a bad day to watch from sidelines. :)

October 29 trade update

No trading today.

Pretty small range so far with odds favouring a continuation up move. However, too small for my usual target of 12 points.

I need confirmation for price to take out FOMC high...

All my profit targets hit.

Wait a sec. My stop loss hit first. :D

One more reason why beginners should avoid FOMC. You often get caught in the crossfire.

Fading again, short 2069.

Reason is expectation of a small range day pre FOMC. Distribution almost complete unless we have renewed buying interest.

Final target at 2048. Unsure whether it will be reached or not as Pre-FOMC days are small range and indecisive. Currently buyers rejecting...

Restless entry

Still no clear winner in this day-time battle but Bulls in control over the next bigger time frame.

No good trade set up yet. Indecisive and consolidation around 2062. Bullish bias but narrow range for my trading style.

Internals appear weak and hence watching from the sidelines.

No trade today as I woke up too early, went back to bed and missed US open. Perhaps, my mind wants rest for a day after the jubilation/ carnage yesterday.
