  • Important Notices – FOMC this week with statement and rate decision due Wednesday

The following are my PERSONAL 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 3925.00 with a stop at 3919.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 3919.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example ( consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).
·    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.
·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.
·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
·    Be patient and be disciplined
·    If in doubt, stay out!!

June heating oil completed its second downside PriceCount objective last month and corrected. Now, the chart is threatening to break down where new sustained lows from here would project a run to the third count in the 2.05 area
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com
Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The week Ahead:

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft other companies scheduled to report this week represent a broad section of the economy. B of A, Visa , Mastercard, Meta platforms another big tech co laying out the numbers for all to see. It will be interesting to see how the tech sector reports since the recent rally was largely lead by the tech sector as the industry has been actively trimming head count for the past 9 months. When you read or hear these earnings reports (the past) it’s critical to pay attention to forward looking statements (the future) that will form an economic forecast of sorts for you. File that away in your cranium as you accumulate these forward looking statements from the large corporate CEO’s and COO’s . As you compile the aggregate , you will have a better sense of where our economy is headed.

On the economic numbers front pay attention to Housing date tomorrow, the 25th , Durable goods on Wednesday the 26th and GDP, jobless claims on Thursday the 27th. there is plenty of data coming this week to expose the markets to tide after tide after tide of highs and lows from which to trade.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Fear? Greed? Who is moving the markets?

Is it news? big players? perhaps order flow?

Should you be trading one market and become an “expert” or should you be following a few markets for diversification?

Have you heard about spreads? same day options?

You can get answers to the above and MUCH more by talking to an experienced broker which can be one of the most valuable resources a trader can utilize when trading futures.

  • Important Notices – Goodbye Eurodollar

Heads up traders:
Today we say goodbye to a commodity that for ±20 years starting in the early 2000’s held the title of largest open interest futures contract in the world: the Eurodollar. Long the benchmark for hedging short-interest rates, it is being replaced today by the Three-Month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Futures.
SOFR measures the cost of borrowing U.S. dollar cash overnight using Treasury securities as collateral. SOFR has been recommended by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (ARRC) and SOFR looks set to become the main indicator of U.S. dollar interest rates around the world as global regulators encourage market participants to transition to SOFR.
CME Group launched SOFR-based futures in 2018 to support the transition. Starting today, any Eurodollar exposure where the start date is beyond June 30, 2023, will automatically convert to the corresponding CME SOFR. For more information regarding the conversion process, please visit the CME Group web site.

Short Covering? 04.14.2023 Trading Levels

Yesterday’s CPI print with FOMC minutes triggered a sell off into the market. Coming into today, the jobless claims news triggered a rally. Despite us selling off yesterday, bulls were able to regain back control as dips has been bought.

As this plays out, people who are short managed to get squeezed out fueling the market higher like today.

Is this a short covering or a resumption of short term uptrend? In my opinion tomorrow’s report will provide additional clues.

See 30 minute chart below.

PPI Tomorrow + 04.13.2023 Trading Levels

Looking at the last two trading days of the week By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker:

General: The March Consumer Price Index came in cooler than expected, showing a rise of 0.1% in March. Economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting CPI to rise by 0.2% month over month.

 

Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s March policy meeting showed officials feared that the economy could tilt into a mild recession later this year in the wake of the U.S. banking crisis.

 

Yesterday, Bitcoin futures (BTC) pushed over the $30,000 level for the first time since June 2022. This on the heels of a ±10,000-point move from March 10 when the April contract traded to an intraday low of 19,620 and closed at 20,110.

 

Today, May orange juice futures closed at an all-time high of $2.8490 per pound a remarkable ±80-cent / $12,000 move from late January. This year, the U.S. orange crop is forecast to be the smallest since 1937. Output has generally been in decline since peaking 25 years ago, though this year’s losses in Florida – a global top producer still – are extremely sharp. Yesterday, the USDA pegged the 2022-2023 U.S. orange crop at 62.25 million boxes, an 86-year low and down 23% on the year. That is less than 20% of U.S. output compared to the record 1997-1998 season.

 

May sugar futures traded today to 6 1/2 -year highs and an intraday high of 24.85 cents/pound continuing its months-long charge from the 17-18-cent range (one cent = $1,120). News of lower-than-expected production in some key regions and tightening supplies have persisted into the year.

 

For the seventh consecutive session, June gold has closed above $2,000/ounce. Referencing the Fed minutes mentioned above, economists have cited rising interest rates and now a potentially more acute slowdown in lending after the collapse of several U.S. banks as a possible trigger of a recession this year. The prospect of a U.S. recession boosts safe-haven demand for gold, which has been on a tear since early-March – with a ±$200 per ounce / $20,000 move.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Heads up everyone, a bit of a different Good Friday schedule than years past.

Good Friday was the one holiday all commodity brokers loved as almost all markets were completely closed. With NFP out this Friday, the CME will have a few markets open to allow for risk management. Equities will remain open until 8:15 AM central Friday. Currencies & rates until 10:15 AM central.

Please see full list below. Happy Easter/ Passover to all.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.
