Wishing all our clients, blog readers and visitors a GREAT 2020.
We hope it is a healthy, successful and happy year to everyone!!
Trading tip for today from our Futures Trading Charts Consultation company:
Entering trades using a STOP order.
Most retail clients I work with will enter trades either at market or using a limit order ( better price than current market price), however, there are times that depending on your trading strategy , entering the trade on a stop order might be better.
Example, you are looking for momentum and making a few ticks and you feel that the current resistance on natural gas is 3.570 and in this hypothetical example the market is trading at 3.550.
You place a buy stop order to enter the market at 3.573 because you want to see the resistance violated and you are looking for possible continuation and follow through if that happens.
If the market does not brake the resistance line in this “educational example”, you dont get in the trade. If it does, then your buy stop will trigger you long at best market price.
Some traders will take this a step further and use a buy stop/limit. example buy stop 3.573 / limit 3.575 meaning fill me if we break 3.573 but no worse than 3.575. In this case you are willing to “miss the trade” but you know what is your predefined slippage.
Feel free to reach out to your current Cannon broker or contact person if you like to expand on the topic.

Trading Webinar: 7 Most Effective Trading Setups
TOMORROW: Thu, Dec 19, 2019 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PST
In this session, we’ll take a look at what makes a good trading setup, then we’ll look at Peter’s top 7 trading setups.
SPACE is LIMITED, so reserve your space now!
For each trading setup, we’ll consider the following:
– What the setup is
– Which market conditions it works best in
– Why the setup works
– Who is on the wrong and right side of the trade if it works out
– How to identify it’s working out
– How to identify if it’s not working out
– Typical Risk:Reward
What you will see is that although the setups are different, there’s lots of things in common with them. Instead of learning 7 different skills, we are taking a few skills and applying them in different scenarios. With these 7 setups, you would certainly expect to find multiple trades per day on most market, but patience is still key because we want to get in when conditions are just right. For those looking for new setups or those looking to improve the way they confirm/manage their existing setups – this webinar is for you.
