Daily Results for 8/21/13
Several intraday systems had short trades today.
The markets are now having volatile moves on the day FOMC meeting minutes are released, much like the volatility we used to see on FOMC announcement days. I’ve noticed this behavior for the last few releases of the minutes, and today’s action now confirms for me that it would be best to avoid daytrading on these days as well. I will update the strategy code going forward to not trade on FOMC minutes release days.
