Living in a Post-Election Forex World
So, the election is over, the dust has settled and we have a new President Elect. The United States of America, and the rest of the world, is sitting on the edge of their collective seats waiting to see what the next four years is going to look like, but the financial markets tick along just the same. Plenty of speculation about where markets will be in the next 6 months is already in the air and irrespective of where the markets go, we have seen an increase in market volatility over the last few weeks which is likely to continue for some time. However, like anything, this volatility will come and go and our job as disciplined market speculators is to be prepared for all market conditions no matter the situation.
In the earlier days of my FX trading I tended to like volatility when it paid me on trades and hated it when I lost! My novice mentality shone through strongly back then. Today though, I look at market volatility from a very different perspective altogether. Markets will typically do what they were always meant to do, as the only thing which pushes prices higher or lower are the imbalances between willing buyers and willing sellers, namely supply and demand. When major news and volatility swings into the markets it is easy to forget this and be tempted to react to movement, as opposed to planning your moves around it. There is a huge difference in these approaches, with one being focused on planning in advance and the other just reacting to what is happening.
