NFP tomorrow. Non Farm Payrolls.
Market moving event that comes out at 7:30 AM central time.
Markets have been moving EXTREMELY FAST. I was watching price action in the NQ, Copper, Crude oil and few more and the velocity of the price moves was something I have not seen since last March when COVID started.
I Personally feel that if you are trading some of these very volatile markets you should have the STOP order attached to your entry. At times I have seen the NQ move over 60 points in less than 15 seconds….
Understand that with this volatility he BANDS get wider. I don’t see how anyone can make money if they are only use 2 points stop on the ES unless they have a crystal ball…..
If you feel over stressed because of volatility, consider reducing trading size, perhaps trading MICROS rather than the minis.
Remember to breath while trading. Try to have the full trading plan before you pull the trigger.

Time to trade June bonds, May silver and May copper as well as May grains.
Stock futures and currencies don’t roll over until mid March and we will send a separate notice.
The recent volatility reminds me of last March, when COVID started.
I have a few points to make:
  1. Take a look at the below chart from today on the mini NASDAQ this volatility will play both sides and in MY OPINION this is not a market to just buy and hold using futures….You need to be able to react and adjust positions according to market action and sentiment.
  2. DON’T try to predict tops and bottoms….
  3. Learn to reduce trading size. Perhaps trade smaller contracts like the micros.
  4. Understand that loses are part of trading and this is definitely not a good time to “fight the markets”.
  5. Focus more on risk management and ways to protect certain positions as needed.
  6. Survive to trade another day.

Time to trade June bonds, May silver and May copper as well as May grains.
Stock futures and currencies don’t roll over until mid March and we will send a separate notice.
Tomorrow is the last trading day of the month ( yup…February is a very short trading month….). First and last trading days of the month, can at times experience even higher volatility as large traders may close positions/ profits & losses to start a fresh month.
Also some markets will have end of month options expirations.
The recent volatility reminds me of last March, when COVID started.

  1. Take a look at the below chart from today on the mini NASDAQ this volatility will play both sides and in MY OPINION this is not a market to just buy and hold using futures….You need to be able to react and adjust positions according to market action and sentiment.

We started the week with a weaker US$, higher crude oil prices, higher metals along with a shift in stock indices with money flowing out of the NASDAQ and more into the Dow Jones.
Volatility remains high and with the risk of sounding like a broken record, have a game plan and trade management outline before you just jump in long or short any market…..
Spreads are another tool to consider and familiarize yourself with ( good article here)

Tomorrow is Friday, Feb. 19th. Reports and numbers for the trading day are below.
I noticed over the years that diff. week days have diff. behavior….
I was running one system in the past that found out its worst performing day was Friday….and coded the system not to trade on Fridays.
I also noticed that Mondays have a better chance of a trend day – perhaps because the longer term traders were able to make decisions based on the weekly charts?
Maybe I am over analyzing….but either way, keeping a trading journal with diff. details on market behavior, reactions to the diff. trading reports, how you acted and traded etc. can provide you with great insight down the road.
