FOMC Trade Plan

☀️ TODAY'S REVIEW:READ BELOW

A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups:

OVERVIEW:

Battle Plan Purpose: Look for trades in the right locations. 

The Battle Plan seeks to answer the primary question: Where do we want to go long and where do we want to go short? 

Last night's Battle Plan was a perfect example. Not bad for trade ideas mapped out 24 hours ago.

Edit

OVERNIGHT:

Battle Plan 2️⃣ and part of Battle Plan 3️⃣ offered multiple entry opportunities. 

The Overnight session had all the fun again - it happens. 

RTH:

As we went live... Andrew, a Gold Member, was long from Battle Plan 2️⃣.

We discussed trailing his stop extensively this AM on Zoom and YouTube Live. 

Andrew captured 60-points on his final runner from Battle Plan 2️⃣ entry and holding a runner - Congrats!

Not much of anything else - the day before FOMC after a 95-point run overnight. 

TIP OF THE DAY

Sometimes price moves without you... It's simply not your move on your terms. 

Be content and wait for the next trade. 

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Keep going... even slow progress is still forward.

TRADE OF THE DAY

BATTLE PLAN:

🔥Battle Plan 2️⃣ for 60-points.

ZOOM:

🔥 We called a 'risky' short at the "WARNING SHOT TO BEARS" Strong Level. Price ran 30-40 points with a lotto runner. 

🔥 We called one more short that ran 9 points. 

CORE STRATEGY: (For Full Members)

🔥 3M BS Short for 5-15 15 points with 3-Contract System system. 

🔥 3M BL Long for 10-point run. Longs are very difficult after a 95-point run to the north, and we bounced off the warning shot to bears Context does matter in real trading.
