"........... The minutes of regularly scheduled meetings are released three weeks after the date of the policy decision..........." Have to do the date math for future releases. Or check website calendars, in advance, like Forex Factory. They show Aug 17th next one. https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm
I do, indeed, trade daily/intraday. The S&P, more specifically options on that. I'm not a scalper. I aim to understand the market, for the day, on a grander scale...and place that one trade....where I think and assume the major move of the day will happen. I'm not always right, but close enough where I run a profitable operation. I trade very discretionary, manually. I don't use any of the standard textbook support/resistance levels, indicators or anything like that. Trading is very part art, part science. Part left brain facts, with part right brain human and market emotions. Beyond that, I can't really get into detail about my trade, decision, process. The devil is always in the detail, of course, with any successful endeavor. It's similar to someone giving another person the materials used for a hypersonic atom bomb that's able to deter radar....and expecting them to replicate itself completely. It's not likely to happen.
That Was a nice one for that direction and the alternate to SOXL on my book. but For total move the SOXL seems to outperform vs TQQQ, but you lean toward TQQQ, kinda wondered why you go for TQQQQ over SOXL.
Well, hell, intraday fast chart trades don't appear on your radar anyway. That's what KC stokes the furnace with. One way to look at announcements is as a table setter for News Generated Setups... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/charts-for-no-reason.344272/page-25#post-5609680
Until the last couple weeks SOXL was best, but semis under recent sell pressure = SOXL lagged tqqq for upside volatility. Hopefully that'll change, as I really like trading SOXL better than tqqq
