Hello Traders,

We got both ECB Draghi speaking tomorrow morning as well as FOMC minutes later in the day. Could turn out to be a volatile trading day.

There are a few factors you can control as a day trader:

How many contracts you trade per ticket?

How many markets you trade at any given time?

What is your ( hopefully ) self imposed risk per trade? per day?

These factors should be adjusted as your trading capital change, as volatility increases/ decreases and according to your performance.

Hello Traders,

It seems that all the hype about Brexit was proper…The volatility we saw Thursday night, Friday day, last night and most of this morning session was extreme.

Especially Thursday night/ early Friday morning. Gold made a move of about $100 in few hours, bonds about 5 full points and SP500 was down almost 100 points or so in matter of hours….

The Brexit and potential other exits from the European Union created a new trading/ financial environment.

I think we will continue to see some volatility but not to the extreme we witnessed the last 72 hours.

Understand it, research it and adjust your trading accordingly.

My recommendation is to be extra patient with your entries as you will need to use wider stops than normal.

Feel free to contact us here at Cannon with any questions/ feedback etc.
