FOMC Trading Cheat Sheet— how to trade central bank decisions (before, during, after). Most people lose money on FOMC day. Not because they are wrong about the direction, but because they trade the wrong phase. There are 3 phases to every central bank decision, and most traders only know one. BEFORE (24h pre-event): Reduce size or go flat. No new positions into the event. Mark key levels on both sides — know your support and resistance before the chaos starts. The worst thing you can do is open a position hoping to "catch the move." You are not catching anything. You are gambling on a coin flip with leverage. DURING (the announcement, first 30 min): Watch. Do not trade. The first 30 minutes is pure noise. 70%+ of first candle reactions reverse. The whipsaw is designed to take your money. Focus on the TONE of the statement, not the decision itself. Rate hold with hawkish tone is not the same as rate hold with dovish tone. The market priced the decision days ago — the tone is what actually moves price. AFTER (2-48h): This is where the real move happens. Wait for the dust to settle. The real directional move comes 2-24 hours after the event. Trade the reaction, not the event. If the market dumps on a rate hold, that tells you sentiment is bearish regardless of the decision. And if you missed it, you missed it. The next setup always comes. FOMC is this Wednesday. Save this one. Protect the capital. Protect the process. #FOMC #Trading
