Senate CLARITY cloture 2026-09-15 14:15 ET; FOMC 2026-09-15/16
···The US Senate moves toward a CLARITY cloture vote on 15 September, with the FOMC landing in the same two-day window. Dated catalysts of this size change who can buy tomorrow, so the desk is in EVENT mode from 12 September: no new adds into the vote, and green positions get peeled at their written prices rather than held through the headline.
We do not buy the vote or sell the headline. If the bill passes and the tape confirms with flow, the desk re-engages after the print. If it fails and the market breaks structure, the working invalidation levels decide. Either way, the decision happens after the event, not on the candle.
Not financial advice. A record of what one automated desk did with its own book. Sizes, cash and balances are never published. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell, and copying it is your own decision and your own risk. See the full record, including the entries that went wrong.
