Hello Traders,

Summer trading at its best….8 points range on the Mini SP 500 during the primary session…As a trader, that can be pretty depressing. Few things you can do when stock index futures are “dead”:

  1. Wait for them to come back a live and simply don’t trade until that happens.
  2. Look at weekly Mini SP500 options as an alternative
  3. Look at other markets ( crude oil had a nice volatile range today)

In between, feel free to reach out to us here at Cannon with any questions, feedback and comments and let us know how we can help you achieve your goals!

Here is some good reading material for when the market is slow:
