The simple answer is: No. Clearly, markets need certainty to thrive. Volatility heats up when monetary and fiscal policy uncertainty peak. A National election is an opportunity for the equity markets to react to potential outcomes before, during, and after the election. Behaving just as markets do prior to a FED rate announcement. Market reactions have been historically varied during midterm elections. Currently, several outlets are reporting the least likely election outcome is for Democrats to retain control of the National Government levers. Conversely, the same outlets are calling for a divided government, and will most likely be the outcome of today’s voting. One party controls the House of Representatives and the other controls the Senate. An outcome other than this will roil the markets. A word of caution to not over extend/over-leverage as the results come in after the first polls close on the East coast. Reduce position size if you are trading and be vigilant. “Survive to Trae Another Day”!

Hello Traders,
For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!
A word or two about day-trading and money management…..
Trading futures and even more so, day-trading futures has grown significantly over the last few years, as seen by the increase in daily volume on some of the more popular electronic markets. (The Mini SP had 3,575,702 contracts traded on February 27th! Yes, that is 3.575 MILLION contracts….)
New traders as well as more experienced traders often wonder and search for the “holy grail” and the answer is different for each trader. Many factors influence what may be a good route for one trader versus a better alternative for another. Experience, risk tolerance, the person’s schedule, financial situation along with other factors will greatly influence what is a suitable trading method for one trader or another.
One COMMON solution different traders can implement when it comes to day-trading is what I call: “Treat your daily Profit/Loss as you would treat an open trade” and allow me to expand:
As brokers we have seen different traders survive in this business, making progress and even getting to the point of consistently finding their set ups, however their main downfall is that “one bad day” where they may give up recent gains, lose a large percentage of their account or even lose their whole account.
A practical solution for eliminating those disastrous days and giving you a better chance for survival is using “stop losses, trailing stop losses and daily stop limits” for every given trading day.
Let’s assume for hypothetical purposes that trader A is day-trading with $10,000 of risk capital. Part of her preparation for trading should be an understanding of her trading style, how active she is, how much on average does she risk per trade and other factors to help her calculate what her DAILY LOSS LIMIT should be. If you as a trader can be discipline enough to set your own daily loss limit and on days when you have reached your daily loss limit, simply stop trading for that day, you will give yourself better odds in surviving the day-trading arena and preventing days where you may loss a big portion of your account. Surviving to trade another day is a crucial element when it comes to day-trading.
The next step, now that we have decided on what our “daily stop loss” should be is to decide at what level of profit do you trigger “BREAKEVEN MONEY MANAGEMENT”? By that I refer to a level of daily profit that you have achieved as a trader and at that point should trigger the concept of “I am up $X amount and if for what ever reason the rest of my trading for today is not doing well and my daily profit/loss is back to zero, I should call it a day”.
Moving on you should also decide on a certain profit target (higher than your “breakeven point” ). That level of profit, when and if achieved during the trading day should trigger a corresponding “TRAILING STOP”. For example, let’s assume the trader A is now up $1,000 during the trading day and after doing her homework, she has decided that if she is ever up a $1,000 during the trading day, her trailing stop is $500. That means that she will continue to trade as long as she does not give up more than $500 from her intraday gains. By implementing this technique a trader allows himself to continue trading as long as he or she does not give up too much of their profit for that day.
Last but not least is the element of “PROFIT TARGET”. There are a few schools of thought when it comes to “daily profit target”. Some say that if a trader is “hot” he/she should continue trading in order to maximize the potential for that day. I disagree. In my opinion setting a DAILY PROFIT TARGET based on your account size and other factors discussed previously will assist you better in the long run. In this example if trader A decided that her daily profit target is $2,000 and on any given day she has reached that profit, that should trigger a feeling of satisfaction and achievement and at that point trader A would close open positions, enjoy her good trading day and call it day.
It is my opinion that a trader will fair better in the long term by initiating these concepts I borrowed from trading system design. Getting to the point of working with these suggestions require one to analyze themselves as a trader, understand basic concepts of money management and have the SELF DISCIPLINE to execute his or hers trading plan.

TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS. THE RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN THE LETTER IS OF OPINION AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY PROFITS. THERE IS NOT AN ACTUAL ACCOUNT TRADING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS. THESE ARE RISKY MARKETS AND ONLY RISK CAPITAL SHOULD BE USED. PAST PERFORMANCES ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NO INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS

So you got a taste of the markets and trading and now you are getting more involved, excited and looking to progress. Many questions ahead for you as a trader and as time progresses you will evolve and find out if trading is suitable for you and if so what type of trading, what type of risk capital and other questions that will come up. Many of these will appear as you progress and your knowledge increase. Some of these questions need to be answered before you start trading.
The answer to question 1 will vary for each trader based on their financial situation but the bottom line is, make sure you trade with money you can afford to lose.
The answer to question 2 has a few levels: First is what asset class are you looking to trade? Stocks/equities? perhaps FOREX or maybe futures? Since my area of expertise is futures, commodities and future options I would like to expand on this asset class.
Trading futures offers many advantages as well as some drawbacks. For many traders who prefer to day trade ( you enter and exit the position during the same session and avoid holding positions from one day to another), trading futures is a great alternative to day trading stocks. In stocks you need to have minimum of $25,000 to day-trade. In futures you only need $2500. The build in leverage in the futures market, intensified by the even more so reduced day trading margins, creates a double edge sword: Small moves can translate into big wins in your pocket BUT small moves against you will also translate into big losses in your account….
Even within the futures asset class you still need to decide what specific market is suitable for your trading style, risk tolerance and personal preferences.
Different markets have different personalities. Some of the most popular markets traders will choose from within the futures markets are:
Stock index futures like mini SP 500, mini NASDAQ futures, mini Dow and Mini Russell. Movement will track the cash index and the overall stock market which most people are familiar with. Great trading volume. Main activity is during the open of the US stock market.
Another popular market is the crude oil futures. A volatile market. Main activity is between midnight to 11 Am EST. This market can experience big moves and sharp moves. Will punish or reward you quickly.
Similar to the crude oil in many ways is gold futures. Each $1 move in gold price will equal $100 in your favor or against you per contract. I have seen gold move $3 to $10 in couple of minutes during volatile times…
This post is probably to short to share everything about the different markets. However, Cannon Trading offers more than a few tools to help you and I highly recommend you take advantage of it.
Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.

Stocks finished pretty much unchanged today, which brings me to another point….
There ARE OTHER MARKETS one can day-trade….Most day-traders focus on the Mini SP 500 and it’s relatives:
Mini Nasdaq, Mini Dow, Mini Russell etc. because of volume, familiarity, trading hours etc.
However, markets like bonds, Euro Currency, Crude oil, beans, corn to name a few do offer day trading opportunities and risks. Different market have different personalities which may fit different traders. Different markets also have different trading hours when volatility is present, different volatility at different times and other
characteristics which traders may want to explore. During the day-trading charts service I hold daily, I feature the mini SP 500 chart along with Euro currency and Crude oil and possible trade set ups.
As always I recommend using demo account when exploring trading in market you normally don’t trade, as well as performing some research regarding tick size, price behavior and more.

Same comments from yesterday and the day before still hold true….main difference is the tomorrow is quadruple witching day so I am hopeful that we finally break out one way or the other……
Well by now this is the 3rd or 4th time we are knocking on 1122.75…..that means one out of two (in my opinion): Tomorrow morning reports help this market break this level and start another leg up towards 1157.00
OR…..
Market fails one more time against this level, fills the gap below ( 1105.75) before giving us some additional clues.
I would love to have the “correct answer” to give you but only time and price action will tell….

We bounced pretty good from major support early this morning. Some levels to pay attention to as we start a new week in the mini Dow chart below. Until then, relax, clear your head from trading, “what you could have done and should have done” etc…..write a journal if needed, learn from mistakes when you can but don’t let negative energy hurt your trading.

Market is showing weakening signs. We need to hold previous lows of 1037 and rally in order to gain any upside momentum. Break of this level can bring 1000.75 much quicker.
I have a feeling traders will have potential for trades on both sides depending on volatility and pre market GDP report tomorrow.

Yesterday I mentioned the following:
Daily chart of the mini Russell, which I consider the leader, for review below. Looks like we may get a test of previous lows and if and then the big question.. do we bounce or do we start a new leg lower:
Well the big question for this point in time is here.. we met the initial target of 1049 and from a technical point of view we are looking at some wide bands. 1049 being pivot line, 1080 being resistance and 1000.75 being major support.
Today I am sharing daily chart of the mini SP 500 for review:

Somewhat of a quiet day on the futures exchange to start the week after some volatile sessions last week. As I’ve said many times before, if a trader can recognize early enough during the trading session, what type of trading day is about to unfold, then one can use the proper day-trading technique more suitable for that day.
Some examples may include: join the trend on trending day, mean aversion techniques on choppy days and much more.
On a different note, I got a blue diamond for tomorrow’s session which can mean potential up day if the market can break above 1083.00 or….continued decline if it fails to gain some upside momentum. Daily chart for review below:

It is a known fact that fear and greed can be a trader’s worst enemies. I’ve found one way that has helped some clients deal with fear and greed and their cousin, “getting out of winners too soon and staying in losers too long.”
In order to enter multiple contracts while day trading, one has to have the appropriate risk capital and margin requirements. But the advantage of trading more than one “unit” or splitting your trading size into two or more parts is as such:
If you enter a trade with one contract (or if you are treating your trading size as one unit, meaning you enter a trade with 4 contracts and exit the trade with 4 contracts), you can face a very quick dilemma (especially when day-trading). Consider the two following scenarios:
1. You get in and very quickly you are up 2 mini SP points…what do you do? Do you take profit? Bring your stop loss closer? How do you avoid getting out too early or too late?
2. You enter a trade and it goes against you rather quickly…if you get out then it is a loser…but the little voice in your head says “what if the market goes back up?”
In the first case scenario, when market decided to be nice to us and moved in our direction, I like to exit half of my positions relatively quickly. In the case of the mini SP, this would be around 7 ticks profit.
What I’ve found is that this will allow me to manage the rest of the trade in a much more relaxed manner. Since I’ve already locked profits in, now I can look for a proper stop close to my break-even level. I can analyze my next target more realistically and, if the market provides room for additional gains, be there to participate.
