Yeah. Nailed it. + $250 pre-market and almost back to zero shortly prior to the Open on a greedy trade. - $175 on the first trade in RTH. + $500 on the next trade and ending the day up. Calling it a day here. The easy money is gone for the day, IMO. The rest of the day is too uncertain and no way I'm gambling into FOMC. Good luck all. PS: If today's a "normal" day, you'd still expect a new push above 4091 from here. But we filled the gap minus 2 ticks, so it's a bit uncertain.
I still feel like a Formula One driver trading the Open. If I were trading 1 MES it would be different, but with my leverage it's enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. Probably going to get your volatility later today. Oh. What's that. Looks like you just got some.
This has to be the most strange post-FOMC. It was like this after CPI number came out last week as well. We just more or less sat there. Is this because the market is so saturated with friggin' algos? Is this the new norm going forward???
