Words of wisdom for today….learn to play the markets from the long and short side…This applies to too many clients/traders who always want to attack the stock index futures from the short side as they wait for the correction….While correction may come sooner or later, as DAYTRADER, you need to be objective and learn to play both the short and long side per your methods and rules. Take the emotional bias you have out.

Two systems we like to share with you below. One is a mini SP day trading system, the other is a gold trading swing system. These are AUTO traded systems and can be used in addition to your trading account OR if you don’t have time, emotion capacity to trade your own account, you can be active in the markets by letting the ALGOS work for you:

  1. Battle Quant – mini SP day trading system
  2. The Golden Age – Swing trading gold system
  3. LAG CrudeOil7 – Crude Day trading system

With stock index futures trading at historical LOW volatility, I thought this would be a good time to share something I wrote last year about “other markets to day trade other than the mini SP…..” 

Each market has a different personality, different behavior along with different times of the day when it is most active. If you are finding that the ES (mini SP)  is not giving you enough risk/opportunities then start monitoring a couple of other markets and perhaps explore them in demo / simulated mode. 

I think that there are more than a few markets that are suitable for day-trading. Below you will find some observations, tips along with what are unique about these markets, personality and most active trading hours. 

Interest rates Futures:

In most platforms, the symbols are ZB for 30 year bonds and ZN for 10 year notes.

Trading systems have advantages and disadvantages in our opinion.  One of the many benefits of an automated trading system is the intrinsic discipline to avoid forcing a trade to occur if it does not conform to the stated overall strategy.

That being said, the commodity futures market entails a large amount of price risk so we advocate that only risk capital be allocated to this product.

* Big day tomorrow.

We have FOMC, crude oil numbers, Housing numbers, CPI……..Little note about trading on FOMC below:

** The FOMC interest rate decision is due at 2:15 ET in the US tomorrow.

FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.

if you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market.

The following are suggestions on trading during FOMC days:

  • Reduce trading size
  • Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
  • Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 2365.00 with a stop at 2359.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 2359.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example.
  • Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
  • Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
  • Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
  • Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
  • Be patient and be disciplined
