Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

Quote from Picaso:

Matcha, don't beat yourself up, F-days are called that for a reason and it has nothing to do with the FED. Many experienced traders simply stay out of the market on FED days because of all the hardcore games.

As for your last trades, keep in mind that when the market goes parabolic the moving averages are basically worthless and you have to either stay out or trade the momentum (which when you entered was down - aaaahhhh, the power of hindsight :p - but think about the first part of this paragraph :D).

One thing, I'm not sure if I've missed something, but you're still in sim, right?

thanks ! Will definitely stay further away from F-day and the parabolic move after the announcement.

went on live 2 weeks ago. might go back and forth between SIM and LIVE depending on performance!

Trust my set up. Follow my discipline. Profit will come along the way if I follow my rules. So if you get emotional, step aside. and re-asses. Look at bigger picture, not look at your PnL...:p

Your perspective / mindset / intelligence /mental capacity / discipline / honesty / bravery / intuition / instincts resonate here. You've grasped and learned to use concepts in months which most can't in years. Keep working it. We applaud your journey.

These markets are tough. BUT you are tougher :p You know how to survive.

:) I did well and love today's market action. First time going through a Fed Announcement game? I should have warned you. Wild move one way or the other, and typically followed by sharp reversals. (Though sometimes... no reversal. It's not a given. May be need to observe the actions in the past.)

The Fed meets 8 times a year. Usually on a Tuesday. Sometimes Wednesday. Check the FOMC meeting schedule. 11:15 am PDT announcing the decision on interest rate: up, down or unchange. It tends to move the market. Although there were times that it was a dud.

Hi Matcha,

Sorry about today's trading. Tomorrow, all the good setups will be there for YOU!!!!

The morning session was particularly hard, at least from my past experience on narrow choppy trading range days. I saw in the first 2 hours the YM cash index was trading in a 20 point range! Then comes the volatile session immediately after the fed announcement.

Good thing is today, you got lots of great input and advice. I also learn from everyone's input including your own analysis. Thank you everyone!

Yeah.. fashion queen Matcha ... put all your emotions into fashion but control your emotion when trading .. stay 'cool' ~ :)

sweetie .. have you hear of 'xiaolongnui' in "the return of the condor heroes"?? ... the famous 'wuxia' novel by Jin Yong.

when trading .. your character must change to be like her .."cool~cool" affectionately called by many people :D :D You must be super calm and super cool like her ...:D

After trading .. you can go out party and wear all your emotions on your fashion clothes...the Super Hot Matcha! :D
