Today is a day of extreme volatility. The Fed, Trump's speech, Bank of Canada's rate. Charts will depict "saws," impulses, and sharp shadows. And this is not a day for easy doubles, as hype groups claim. It is a day of total testing of resilience.
Why? Because a complex market does not forgive random successes.
⚠️ The illusion of the "white stripe"
Many are now rubbing their hands in hopes of "catching the wave" during Trump's and Powell's speeches. Almost everyone has had such a streak: a couple of successful trades on news, and it seems like you've finally understood the market.
It is precisely at this moment that the system breaks down. The market doesn't change — your behavior does: — Risk is considered "by eye" (because the impulse is strong!). — Entries become emotional (out of fear of missing the move). — Decisions are made by gut feeling, not by an algorithm.
The result can come by chance, and this is the most dangerous. A false sense appears that the structure is no longer needed.
📊 Reality: the system against chaos
Any streak — whether white or black — ends. If your income relies on a "lucky streak" in gold or the dollar index after the Fed's decision, your trading will end along with that impulse.
The system works differently: — It does not amplify from excitement on good days. — It does not fall apart when the market storms. — It provides a clear answer on what to do if the Fed keeps rates unchanged and the market decides to swing both ways in 5 minutes.
✅ Quick checklist for today Ask yourself these questions 15 minutes before the news release:
❓Am I entering because there is a signal, or because "the chart is flying quickly"? ❓Is the risk calculated in numbers, or "this time I can take a little more"? (Tip: if there is no clear risk calculation ➡️use the "Risk Manager" for automatic deposit protection). ❓Is my stop-loss placed where the logic breaks, or where it won't be hit? ❓What will I do if the terminal freezes at the peak of volatility?
If you don't have a clear answer to any question — today your best decision (and a sign of a pro!) is to stay out of the market.
💡 Main conclusion: income is not a reward for boldly entering news. It is a consequence of repeated decisions.
Today, the market will ask everyone: Is your result a mathematically verified system or just temporary luck that will reset on the next pullback?
A complex market only respects those who have a plan.
