No stops, wasn't even strategizing a trade (which is what I usually do) just tried to hitch a ride when I saw the thing go flying, then couldn't believe my eyes how quick & efficient that reversal was. As an afterthought, I would imagine they just removed the balancing bids to create panic & havoc.
If you have seen other FED days , you would know that the first move is usually a headfake. That was like any other FED day. The real move usually happens 2-3 days later. If that first move stuck there would be no thread as another poster echoed.
actually the only people that lost out were the ones with bad stops. you had 2 exit points within 10 minutes regardless of which way you were playing. long - exit on the pop, short, exit at the close. the ones who lost out got greedy.
All I know is I was short before the announcement and short after the announcement. None of my stops were hit on any position.
You,ll should know that this market is full or manipulaton by the big boys If u r so smart why did,nt you hedge by going 1 long and 1 short. Es long ym short or ym long and es short and hen trade acourding to the situtation
