Rollover to September Currencies & Support and Resistance Levels 6.11.2021

Dear Traders,

Starting tomorrow MAKE sure to trade September currencies as well.
Starting tomorrow many traders will start trading the SEPTEMBER contract rather than the JUNE contract.
Symbol for Sept. is U.
Example: ESU21
The rollover period will be complete by next Friday when June contracts expire into cash.
Here are a few pointers from Austin Lachapelle, Cannon Trading Broker:
With the volume looking to change in the equity indices my recommendation is to make sure you are trading strategies on larger time-frames till the end of this week. If using volume indicators be more cautious on the data that has been gathered. The June contract will start rolling into the September tomorrow. I recommend switching your charts and trading to the September month by days end. Be a little more cautious on the close Thursday and Friday as larger players will begin to sell the June and could possibly be more cautious when buying the September at these levels.
Tomorrows levels published today will still show June contract until the Sept. volume is higher.
To get the Sept. levels do the following:
Substract 9 points for the Sept. ES
Substract 95 points for the Sept. YM
Substract 10 points for the Sept. NQ
Substract 3 points for the RTY
Add 9 points for the euro ( 6E)

Most Common Pitfalls To Avoid When Trading Futures-Commodity Futures & Support and Resistance Levels 6.02.2021

Wishing all of you excellent trading in the month of June!
May your trading have all of the following and more:
  • Patience
  • Discipline
  • Trading Plan
  • Money management
  • Good Risk-reward trades

Most Common Pitfalls To Avoid When Trading Futures-Commodity Futures

500 experienced futures brokers were asked what caused most futures traders to lose money when comes to trading futures.
Their answers reflected the trading experience of more than 10,000 futures traders.  Download the PDF and find out what they said.
1) Have A Plan
Many futures traders trade without a plan. They do not define specific risk and profit objectives before trading. Even if they establish a plan, they “second guess” it and don’t stick to it, particularly if the trade is a loss. Consequently, they overtrade and use their equity to the limit (are undercapitalized), which puts them in a squeeze and forces them to liquidate positions. Usually, they liquidate the good trades and keep the bad ones.
2) News Factor
Many traders don’t realize the news they hear and read has, in many cases, already been discounted by the market.
3) Trade Objectively
After several profitable trades, many speculators become wild and non conservative. They base their trades on hunches and long shots, rather than sound fundamental and technical reasoning, or put their money into one deal that “can’t fail.”
4) Know Your Size
Traders often try to carry too big a position with too little capital and trade too frequently for the size of the account.
