An interesting day for us. One of those days where if he wanted to sit in front of the screen all day we could have made off with $2k. But to be honest we managed to get nicely ahead in the first 30 minutes of trading. Then we paused (as is sensible) and waited for the FOMC to report.
And what a crazy 3 minutes it was after the results were published, with close to a 100 point range on the NQ!! This was a classic update that had the market confused. We sat it out and waited for our opportunity and then took a very simple trade for just a small win to take us to just under $300 for the day. Not a massive profits day, but for 35 minutes work we're happy with that.
If you want to be a lifestyle trader, remember the number one key word is lifestyle. Could we have made more $$ - yes we could. But we chose to trade when it worked for us. We rode our bikes. Had a nice lunch ... and then nipped in for another few $$.
