FOMC performance

Check out one of our founders explaining this report in the video below:

This report shows average performance x days leading up to FOMC, on the day of FOMC, and x days after FOMC. understanding performance around FOMC meetings can help you catch potential price movements and volatility. by analyzing average performance you can make more informed decisions about entry and exit points for your trades.

For swing traders, use the daily report to see performance day(s) before and day(s) after the FOMC to find entry, stop loss and targets.

Lets look at ES futures as an example. Looking for longs the day before and looking for shorts the day after would have worked pretty well.

For intraday traders use the averaged results to determine price movement after the 2PM announcement. this is divided into a negative reaction and positive reaction. Lets look at ES futues and see what opportunities were present on a negative reaction and positive reaction.

On a positive reaction day looking for a long scalp was ideal 15 minutes after the announcement and short scalps an hour after the announcement.

On negative reaction days, looking for a long scalp was ideal 15 minutes after the announcement and holding it for no longer than 30 minutes.
