FOMC today. Today is not a good day to trade as the market will make sharp moves during FOMC.


SPX: 5070 top (5057 resistance + Gap @ 5035.3) / 5000 key level / 4970 bottom + ATRs.


Watching:

SPY: bounce @ 498.2. If we don't get the bounce I'll be watching for calls calls above 502.1

AMD: calls above 150 looking for > 152 > 153.28



Watch volume/trend/levels. Don't rush/force trades/front run trades especially today. Entry matters.

After entry, let the trade play out. Watch levels not P&L. If you get a good entry no reason to exit if all signals are pointing your way. Learn to hold winners longer.

That said, I would not trade today. I would watch and see how the market moves.

I will be closing 1/2 this position after open. First price target hit, 50 point drop from entry.
