Hi, Im a little confused, so basically what your saying that the U. S markets are going to go up when the FED make their announcements? Strictly speaking there was no setup… however I extrapolated a bit, which I know I should not have done, as assumed the first move was the true move and bought at a low of fake move.

Risky but got lucky. Great call Alessio. Working like a dream on the Dow. The strategy looks very promising for today! However can you tell me where to find out the TIME when the announcement is made. I believe it is usually at 7.

Here is a simple strategy for trading the FOMC Announcement. This is a great strategy if you are day trading the markets. Eight times per year a branch of the Federal Reserve Board, known as the FOMC Federal Open Market Committee , meets to set key interest rates.

They also make decisions as to whether to increase or decrease the money supply, known as Quantitative Easing QE. The time of the announcement is crucial here for this strategy and although this can vary from time to time, it is usually at pm GMT pm EST. The dates and the time of the FOMC meeting announcement is displayed on the Federal Reserve website.

Then plot the 21 and exponential moving averages EMA on your chart. You can do this very simply on the charts of ETX Capital Trading Platform. At the scheduled time of the FOMC meeting announcement see above , there is usually an initial big move in one direction — this is known as wave A.

where the market really wants to go. Note: Do NOT execute any trade at this point yet. Incidentally this is the same date when the Feds announced QE3. NOTE: even though the chart says 3-minute, you can do this very simply on a 5-minute timeframe chart.

After the initial big move wave A , there is then a retracement of this move wave B which takes the market to at least the 21 Exponential moving average EMA. Alternatively, you can scale in to this trade with half size at the 21 EMA, and then add the remaining half to your position at the EMA.

What follows is Wave C which is in the same direction as the initial move Wave A. Close half your position once you have made 3 points on the trade, bring your stop to breakeven, and then use a trailing stop on the 21 EMA for the remaining half. This was follows by the retracement rally wave B. We shorted the market by scaling in at the 21 and EMAs. I have traded announcements before with mixed success and was wondering about the pullback level to enter the trade in.

In my last trade I entered on the trade during the pullback and had some success, but I did it with play money because I was unsure of exactly when to enter the market.
