Some thoughts I wrote down the last few days….Random but may help some traders….

1. Why do so many traders ONLY trade the mini SP? There are other markets out here to trade  …
2. Do some new traders understand that certain markets have LIMIT UP and LIMIT DOWN moves??
3. Wow…the way many of the markets are trading today is quite different than how they traded 7 years ago….
4. I wonder how many of my clients know about the weekly options ( the mini SP actually has Monday, Wednesday and Friday expiration…) – some traders who complain about getting stopped, should pick up the phone and learn more about these options.

The mini Russell 2000 is finally coming back to the CME. I say finally because the ICE exchange has been charging retail clients $110 per month for live data, which in my opinion is outrageous.

 As of Monday July 10 (Sunday evening), the mini Russell will be back at the CME and clients will have access to live data and trading for the same price they already pay to trade the CME mini SP, mini Nasdaq etc. (depending on the level of quotes and software that price can range between $1 per month to $6 per month).

 Trading futures is a tough business, but if you are one of the very few that can succeed, this could be a very lucrative business as well

Ilan Levy-Mayer| June 27, 2017 |

I have seen quite a bit since I became a broker in 1998. Some war stories to share about the markets, some crazy moves and much more in between. I was trading futures with clients on the sad Sept. 11th 2001 day when the planes hit and the markets were plunging before they were closed for almost a week. I witnessed the meat contracts making limit up and limit down moves over the years and much more….. Continue reading “Top 5 Mistakes Traders Make & Trading Levels 7.06.2017”
