Promising Outlook on Online Futures Trading for August 27th 2010

“Potential for Trades on Both Sides”

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.

Online Futures Trading Support and Resistance Levels for August 25th 2010

“We Met the Initial Target of 1049”

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:

Futures Exchange: Using Different Day Trading Techniques August 17th 2010

“The News can really Move the Futures Market”

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:

One Way to Eliminate Fear and Greed While Day Trading

One Way to Eliminate Fear and Greed While Day Trading

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.”

What is it? Entering multiple contracts

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?”
