Quadruple Witching Tomorrow & Futures Levels 6.19.2020

Dear Traders,

Quadruple witching tomorrow…. 

 

Futures, futures options, stock options and single stocks all expire tomorrow morning right on the open of the stock market.

 

Keep in mind that June mini SP and it’s relatives (mini Dow, mini Nasdaq etc.) EXPIRE tomorrow and cash settle based on special settlement price….Markets can get volatile tomorrow morning right before and around the open.

 

The June contract will simply cease to trade. If you have not switched to September yet, now is the time…..

 

To add a little more fuel to the fire….it may get pretty messy if the market is locked limit up or down from the overnight…..

 

 

Know the rules, understand current margins, know where the circuit breakers are/ limit moves.

 

Figure out your max risk.

 

After you do all that, feel free to trade but jumping in and trying to trade without the basic knowledge above is like jumping into a stormy ocean without a life vest…..

Limit Moves & Futures Trading Levels 6.16.2020

Posted on by Ilan

Dear Traders,
Some very large swings and intra-day moves across more than a few markets!
Volatility is increasing.
When that happens, my personal opinion says:
*Reduce trade size
*Be a bit more stubborn in entry points with the thought of, “No trade is better than a bad trade”
Just in case….Here is a refresher about limit moves and circuit breakers:
A price limit is the maximum price range permitted for a futures contract in each trading session.  When markets hit the price limit, different actions can occur depending on the product being traded. Markets may temporarily halt until price limits can be expanded, they may remain in a limit condition or they may stop trading for the day, based on regulatory rules.
This is for Stock Index futures but keep in mind MANY other markets are experiencing LARGE swings and moves.
Overnight limits (5:00 P.M. – 8:30 A.M., Central Time): the futures contract is limited to a 5% price move up or a 5% price move down, based on the futures contract’s prior day’s settlement price (3:15 P.M., Central Time).
This applies to the main stock index futures contracts available, such as the ES, MES, NQ, etc.
What is so dangerous you may ask?
If you are long an ES during the night session and the market is limit down (5%) you can NOT get out. There is a chance that when the market opens up at 8:30 AM CDT that the market will then go down the 7% limit with out you being able to exit. That means that on certain situations you can lose MORE than you have in your account.
If you don’t understand how the circuit breakers/ price limits work…make sure you call us and talk to a broker at + 1 310 859 9572
This only applies for the overnight session ending at 8:30 A.M. Central Time. At that point, a new set of rules kick in ONLY to the downside….
-7% Trading Halt 15 mins
-13% Trading Halt 15 mins
-20% Closed for rest of day
So we went from 6 weeks of lower volatility, overall higher stock prices to Dow being down over 1900 points at one point today!!
This is MAJOR alert in my opinion that market sentiment has changed.
Be aware and if the below applies, you are in a better spot….
If you know how to take a loss.
If you know how to reduce trading size based on volatility.
If you know how to trade spreads ( NQ vs ES?)
If you understand options spreads.
THAN there are some very interesting set ups out there ( STILL with HIGHER RISK than normal). However if none of the above applies to you, the risks outweighs the potential opportunities. – PERSONAL opinion
