Earning season is in full affect. Most earnings report after close usually.
In between NASDAQ made a new high, again….and stock index futures are some what back to lower volatility, summer type of trading.
On the other hand Crude Oil, gold, grains and few other markets are experiencing good ranges and above average volatility.
My opinion is that if you are a day trader primarily, you need to follow minimum of 2 markets, I like following 3 markets.
Certain days, different markets will offer different opportunities as well as risks. Some days one of the markets might be “dead” while others are moving and according to your preferred style and market environment you like, you can focus on those markets.

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).
