Trading Around Economic Reports

Trading is truly a fascinating pursuit. The markets can instil excitement, frustration, irritation, exhilaration – really a wide range of emotions – conceivably, even within a single trade. Trading is definitely one of those undertakings where one has to constantly study, evolve and grow.
There are also a number of different approaches to trading futures strategies, including day trading, swing trading and position trading. There are trading futures strategies that focus on just trading straight futures contracts, others solely trade options, including selling/writing options, still others incorporate long and short positions simultaneously – spread trading – utilizing futures and/or options.
One narrowly defined approach to trading – probably most relevant for day traders – is trading around economic reports.
The release of economic reports occurs almost daily. Most come from the U.S. federal government and look at national or large regional data; some come from other private surveys. Some garner considerable attention by traders; others draw barely a thought, much less a glance at their impact on the markets. This article doesn’t attempt to detail any particular number of them and their significance. Rather, it lists some pointers that can help traders prepare for reports releases.
  1. Know the times reports are set for release
  2. Know which markets reports may impact
  3. Know what the markets are expecting and how different outcomes will affect market movement
  4. Do your homework, i.e., go over charts from earlier dates when similar reports were released.
  5. Keep a journal. Focus on the reports that affect the markets you trade.
Please fill out the form below to read the remaining article.

Diamonds:
DIAMONDS is an algorithm that was created while designing different trading systems. It is a proprietary algorithm that tries to measure exhaustion in selling or buying and possible chance of short term reversal. The ALGO calculates recent highs/lows, consecutive highs/lows, RSI, volatility and then the formula outputs; a number that either meet certain criteria or not. RED diamonds suggest possible short term top. GREEN or BLUE diamonds suggest possible short term bottoms. The term “suggested” is used because like any other indicator or trading strategy, the future for the next few minutes or sometimes seconds cannot be predicted.

ILM:
ILM produces arrows on the charts that signal potential start of a trend. ILM is based on moving average, volatility system and proprietary calculations.

Simply review the information, click here and start your FREE trial with the indicators on the charts.

Volume Spikes and market turns
My colleague of over 18 years, Mark O’Brien sent me the volume spike picture of gold futures today. I decided to see how and if my NEW indicator, LNR do in predicting this turning point….
The picture is below. Large volume spike, new lows, followed by the LNR indicator flashing a buy (green square)…..of course, always much easier looking back and in theory than when one trades live real time with the unknown future but you may want to take a look at the LNR indicator and use volume in addition?

(Day) Trading Futures vs. ETFs, Stocks
By: John D Thorpe, Cannon Trading Senior Commodities Broker
According to the Wall Street Journal, assets in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have grown to roughly $2 trillion dollars since their inception. Exchange Traded Funds were created to compete with the $20 trillion dollar Mutual Fund Market as it was the only market in which you could achieve broad class diversity outside of individual stocks. ETFs were also designed to overcome the drawback that mutual funds could only settle on the close of daily business at their Net Asset Value (NAV). Previously, broad diversification across market sectors could only be purchased or sold at the close of the business day based on the equity, bond or raw material elements included in the weighted averages of every component of the sector mutual fund—thus, ETFs came into play.
The first Exchange Traded Fund, the Spider or SPDR, was the S&P 500 depository receipt which was designed to track the S&P 500 stock market Index and began trading in January of 1993. No longer could an investor achieve broad market exposure on just the close of the business day, but could now buy and sell the broad market at any time throughout the trading day. Market makers and specialists provided liquidity for ETFs and continue to do so today.
During the May 2010 so called “Flash Crash”, the NYSE cancelled all trades …..

China news are moving the markets again…At times very fast, violent moves!
Be aware. I personally like to have stops in the system. Some clients/ traders use the phrase “mental stops…”. I like hard stops and/or using options as a form of insurance.
