Three Big Equity Event Risks
  • Equities, dollar could weaken if talks fail to avert another shutdown
  • More tariffs could pummel China and also hurt U.S. consumer stocks
  • Sino-U.S. trade deal could rally stocks, defuse considerable market risk
  • Could British pound tumble if UK crashes out of EU with no Brexit deal?
Trading tip for today:
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.

Day Trading 202: Tight Stops? Wide Stops? Which One Should I Use?
Entry signals are very important but just as important if not more is trade management.
By: Ilan Levy-Mayer, Cannon Trading Commodities Broker & VP
This article was published on FinanceMagnates.com back a couple years ago but is definitely a timeless article.
Today I decided to touch more on an educational feature rather than provide a certain market outlook. Many of my clients and blog readers know that when it comes to short term trading I am a fan of adjusting your trading technique/ game plan according to your assessment of the type of trading day that is developing in front of you.
Many new and advanced traders spend HOURS on looking for entry signals. Back testing historical data, creating algorithms to use and much more. I know. I am one of these traders.
Trade management consists of many factors. Some are psychological and some are more mathematical and many are in between. Some of the basic elements of trade management before even entering the trade are: What will my stop loss be**? will i use a stop loss**? What will my target be? will I use a target or just trail the trade if it goes my way?
In between, take a look at the MONTHLY chart on gold futures below

Keyword the market participants were looking for, was PATIENCE and traders got it in today’s FOMC. Nasdaq is up about 2.5% ( daily chart below) and stocks in general are about to complete one of the strongest months in history.
Earnings reports are in full affect. Be aware of which company is reporting when and expectations, if you are trading stock index futures.
Tomorrow is also the last trading day of the month.
I noticed that sometimes the last and first trading days of the month will have larger than normal moves.
my guess is that:
  1. large funds are positioning themselves or “squaring off books” for accounting purposes.
  2. Longer term traders have the full picture of the monthly chart

Earnings reports are in full affect.
FOMC tomorrow and the markets are expecting NO CHANGE in rates tomorrow, however, traders will play close attention in an attempt to predict future hikes in 2019.
As of now markets see very slim chance for additional hikes before June 2019.
The following are suggestions on trading during FOMC days:
·    Reduce trading size
·    Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
·    Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 2625.00 with a stop at 2619.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 2619.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example ( consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).
·    Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
·    Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
·    Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
·    Be patient and be disciplined
·    If in doubt, stay out!!

Earnings reports are in full affect.
In addition the govt. shutdown is temporarily off so we will get more than a few economic reports coming at us in short period of times.
Last but not least FOMC is this week.
Bottom line is that the small break we had from extreme volatility may be over and we may see the return of higher volatility.

China has been dominating the news and markets/ currencies.
Volatility is taking a break for now compared to few weeks ago. Pay attention and adjust whatever settings you need to adjust. Perhaps the govt. shutdown and hence less economic reports are affecting volatility as well.

Crude Oil Futures volatility offers a “different market personality” than stock index futures. Here is some of the things you need to know about day trading crude oil futures:
Crude Oil is one of MY favorite futures market for day trading. Before I dive in and share with you how the volatility in crude oil fits my risk tolerance for day trading and provide a couple of chart examples, we should review some of the specifications of Crude Oil Futures.
Crude Oil Futures have monthly expiration. So each month we trade a different contract month, so one needs to know when is the first notice day and last trading day for crude oil futures in order to always make sure we are trading the proper month with the most liquidity and avoid any chance of getting into delivery situation.
Next is the contract size. Crude Oil futures are based on 1,000 barrels. To be honest from a day trading perspective all I care is that each tick or 1 cent fluctuation is $10 against me or in my favor per contract. That means that a move from 92.94 to 92.74 = $200.
Another factor is trading hours. At the time I am sharing my thoughts with you, April 8th 2013, crude oil futures trade on the CME Globex platform and trade from 5 PM CDT until the next day at 4 PM CDT. That is 23 of straight trading hours. I definitely don’t recommend day trading this market 23 hours…but it is good to know the trading hours.
Volume in crude oil futures is pretty good to trade in my opinion. Averaging about 600,000 contracts per day.
