No Catalyst, No Gain

It’s easy to get lost in the price charts, technical indicators, price patterns, and economic data looking for trade setups. However, when it comes to identifying why any tradable asset may move significantly in price, few factors are as influential as a catalyst.

Today, the FOMC releases an interest rate decision and holds a press conference announcing their view on the economy and future interest rate direction. A catalyst like this is easy to manage. We can prepare our response since we know when it’s coming.

If you’re trading stocks or options your primary catalyst is earnings season (MSFT, META & TSLA report tonight). We don’t know the direction a stock will take until after the announcement, but like the FOMC release, we can prepare ourselves for a trade decision in either direction. 

The best catalysts are those that are unknown to the public: the “surprise” news announcements. The price reaction to these can be extreme because traders are caught off guard. 

Here’s the good news. There is a way to identify these “hidden” catalysts before they’re made public by following the Smart Money traders.
