I traded the EUR/USD during the elections but with small positions in mini lots. Most of the trades were losing, unfortunately, so I would recommend to stay away in such volatility. Or at least to hedge in other markets.

I traded mostly the pound and the yen but with fractional lots to minimise exposure. Overall it was fine for me, no major hits.

My trades on gold were quite successful around the elections, unlike my attempts on the DAX. It was a big ride back then but now all is back to normal.

I lost money trading around the elections and next time I have to be more careful in such situations...

I switched to intraday trading keeping open positions only on Dow and DAX for a short period of time to earn on the momentum after the elections. This proved to be a good approach in my particular case. My advice from lessons learnt is that if you decide to trade in such conditions, don't wait for your profit to grow much further but close it before the price reverts.
Trade fast, learn fast, never regret!

Hi @maxulr I would rather wait a bit to trade. These rates make me wary a bit for negotiation.
And you?

I kept some trades open but not on euro or dollar pairs.

Hey, tell us about your scenario. What was your decision?
I did not stop all trades, only some.
