Trading the News: Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Interest Rate Decision (based on dailyfx article)
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest rate decision may spur a bearish reaction in the dollar (bullish EUR/USD) if the central bank remains reluctant to move away from the zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP).
What’s Expected:
Why Is This Event Important:
Even though the Fed is widely expected to conclude its asset-purchase program at the October 29 meeting, we would need a more hawkish twist to the forward-guidance for monetary policy to favor further USD strength.
The dollar may come under pressure should we get more of the same from the Fed, and the greenback may face a larger correction over the remainder of the month should Chair Janet Yellen see greater scope to retain the highly accommodative policy stance for an extended period of time.
Nevertheless, sticky inflation paired with the uptick in wage growth may spur a greater dissent within the committee and push the FOMC to lay out a more detailed exit strategy as the central bank looks to move away from its easing cycle.
How To Trade This Event Risk
Bearish USD Trade: FOMC Remains Reluctant to Normalize Monetary Policy
- Need green, five-minute candle following the policy statement to consider a long EUR/USD position
- If market reaction favors a bearish dollar trade, buy EUR/USD with two separate position
- Set stop at the near-by swing low/reasonable distance from cost; at least 1:1 risk-to-reward
- Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is met, set reasonable limit
Bullish USD Trade: Policy Statement Shows Larger Dissent & Shift Away from ZIRP- Need red, five-minute candle to favor a short EUR/USD trade
- Implement same strategy as the bearish dollar trade, just in the opposite direction
Potential Price Targets For The ReleaseEUR/USD Daily
- Risks Larger Topside Correction as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) Threatens Bearish Momentum
- Interim Resistance: 1.2990 (23.6% retracement) to 1.3025 (23.6% expansion)
- Interim Support: 1.2858 (Monthly low) to 1.2870 (50.% expansion)

EURUSD M5 : 32 pips price movement by USD - Federal Funds Rate news event:
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to reduce its asset-purchase pace to $25B from $35B in July amid the sharp economic rebound in the second quarter. However, the Fed also highlighted the significant underutilization of labor resources and reiterated that it is appropriate to maintain the current fed fund rate for a considerable period of time even after the quantitative easing program ends. The Fed’s dovish tone dragged on the greenback, with EUR/USD climbing above 1.3400, but we saw limited follow-through behind the initial reaction as the pair ended the day at 1.3395.

During August and early-September, the rise of US Treasury yields neatly coincided with an already-bullish landscape for the US Dollar, proving to be further fuel to the fire. Yet over the past two weeks, the greenback has persisted as a top performer while long-end US yields have come back in after their brief jump. See the brief video above for what the technical breakdown in Silver means for the majors such as EURUSD and USDCAD over the coming days.
Traders: Millions By The Minute - Season 1 - Episode 1
Traders: Millions By The Minute takes a look at the fast and fiercely competitive world of financial traders and talks to the men and women who play the markets in London, New York, Chicago and Amsterdam.
Manhattan hedge fund manager Karen believes that money is power, and making it is fun, as she juggles two sets of twins, a busy social calendar and her $200 million fund.
Bob has spent more than three decades yelling out his trades and jostling for position on Chicago’s cattle futures trading floor, but now he thinks it may be time wean himself off his “trading addiction”.
London day traders Will and Piers use their expertise to train others in the art of making money from tiny moves in the markets. But they warn their new trainees it’s going to be far harder to master the psychological and emotional skills needed for trading than the technicalities.
Traders: Millions By The Minute - Season 1 - Episode 2
This is really great movie - it is about British men and women who play financial markets from their kitchens and bedrooms. Mother-of-three Jane squeezes currency trading in-between the school run and her work as a nurse, and is hoping to raise capital by selling her 10 Bengal kittens. Justyn and Akil are both convinced that trading will be their ticket to a lavish lifestyle, and Rene gave up a successful career as an antiques dealer for a new existence as a trader.
Episode 2.
Jane is not like the normal professional City trader as she also does the school run and works as a nurse. Justyn and Akil are ambitious and believe that trading will be their ticket to a lavish lifestyle.Forum on trading, automated trading systems and testing trading strategies
