Te news is always a high vola, but one never know how market movers will use it to take your cash
It might be good news, but not good enough, reverse of that or something else
Stay vigilant and ruthless with taking profits, or small loses
I usually listen to the chairman as he delivers simple thigs that complicate the simple

Last two hours have been a very busy.
A pivotal move, very hawkish fed or at least not dovish enough?

Very likely not trading today or tomorrow.
Triple Witching Friday scenario and other things to do, such combination present splendid opportunity to part with some profits.

Long holidays are coming, thinly traded markets, if at all, FX, Crypto might have some bigger moves than US Indices.
I Have exchanged trading room for baking activities, will attempt to bake a poppy seed cake with good stuff in it!!! Please wish me success.

Time to stock up the fire and relax.

Wishing all Happy Christmas!

Coming back to face the market, orientating myself with what is happening.
Have had a few trades that is all, any small profits taken rather fast, small profits is the position that the initial position is in profit for about 50 points or there around on the DOW.
PA seams to be a bit nervous, and a retest of the resent Lows would provide some guidance.
As I type the move down is in progress.

I am done for a while.
I am not focussed well enough and became bored, not a good sign, so IMHO I am not ready or fit to trade atm.
Still a reasonably profitable day so far, but do not see advantage to force myself to trade.
Got great podcasts to listen to!!! (DailyWire+ among others)
