Strap In! Election Week is Here, and the Markets Are on the Move

Hello, my friends!

It’s Election Week, and we’re diving into a surge of daily volatility!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It’s fantastic and what we live for! But remember, success here means preparation – have your risk-measuring tools ready, whether you’re in FX, Futures or Stocks, make sure you’re tracking risk in clear dollar terms.

In past election cycles, this intensity might have only lasted 24-48 hours.

But with today’s shifting landscape, who knows how long it’ll take for all ballots to be counted…

As entrepreneurs, our mission is to stay sharp, ready, and always keep emotions out of the equation.

I’ll be covering all key market shifts from an entrepreneur’s perspective – no bias, no emotional takes – just pure business insights on my X account. Click above to follow along for daily updates!

Volatility Guide💡

This is the time when markets often defy expectations, responding not only to the actual election outcomes but also to the initial reactions and speculations around future policies. This isn’t just volatility; it’s volatility on overdrive.

Why is this so intense?

Elections bring in a cocktail of policy uncertainties, potential regulatory shifts, and reactionary movements as traders and institutions attempt to predict the market impact of new or continued leadership. From changes in tax policy to health care or energy regulations, each candidate’s platform holds potential catalysts for entire sectors.

Here’s the lesson:

• Step into each trading session with a flexible, adaptable mindset – this is not the time to cling to any one outcome.

• Markets are full of surprises, and holding tight to a single bias can leave you blindsided. Be ready to pivot, stay nimble, and adjust as the election story unfolds throughout the week.

• Consider this your ultimate test: stay calm under pressure, shift strategies in real-time, and keep your mindset razor-sharp. This week rewards those who can adapt quickly and think on their feet

In The Daily Impulse, we’ll guide you through each trading day with strategies to keep you grounded and tools to measure your risk effectively.
