Hello Traders,

For 2015 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

The volatility continues….some fast, large intraday moves.

One thing really jumps at me today and that is that most traders spend so much time on when to buy, when to sell, exit and entry strategies etc. and so little time on proper money management and position size.

During this type of volatility, one must reduce trading size in my opinion.

Stops have to be wider , hence position size needs to be smaller.

You have to calculate your daily risk limit and set daily profit targets as well.

I wrote much more about this topic in this article that was published few years back in SFO magazine.

Read it here. Survive to trade another day……

Hello Traders,

For 2015 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

Do you like reading our daily email? Finding the tips, reports, trading levels useful?

If so I need your help. Recently someone posted a malicious post on Facebook and claimed to be one of our employees. We clarified the issue right away but still suffered a bit of negative reviews because of it, which Facebook is helping us clarify.

It would really help, if you visit our Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/futurestrading and give us a like as well as a positive review!!

Everyone here at Cannon Trading would appreciate that.

On a different note, the market is still wild with “zig zag swings” from day to day. be a money manager as well as a trader. Stay disciplined and plan your trade, trade your plan.

I WROTE THIS YESTERDAY AND IT IS WORTH REPEATING……

Volatility is skyrocketing. This is a completely different environment for trading than you were in 3-4 weeks ago. Markets are evolving and you must adapt your trading to changing market conditions.

This is where you find out if the gambler in you is stronger than the trader in you or vise versa….. If the trader is the strong one, you will REDUCE trading size, become extra picky in your entries , perhaps even decide not to trade at certain times…. If the gambler is the dominant one… you will find yourself all over the place up huge, down huge and I am sorry to say sooner or later you will blow up…..Think about it and try help the trader within win over the gambler that resides in the same neighborhood…..

One additional note, dont be GREEDY….set daily profit target and daily loss limit and stick to it. that can be the difference between you surviving to trade another day OR……

On a different note, please pay attention to LIMIT moves and understand what happens when the market is halting at limit levels:

I posted the following on FinanceMagnates.com back on August 5th about Dow Jones making lower highs and lower lows. Feel free to read that analysis at:

Jim Wyckoff Discusses Entry & Exit Strategies

From our friend Jim Wyckoff
I have received several email messages from my readers asking about how to best determine entry and exit strategies when trading markets. Here are just a few of their quotes:
  • “Though my success rate has been high, I am only breaking even financially, due to getting out too early in profit and letting my losses run too far.”
  • “Many articles are written showing when and where to enter trades… but how many articles are written about “running” positions? Where to exit surely has to be the biggest key to trading success!”
  • “I would appreciate some advice or tips on how to and when to enter a market and when to exit.”
Of course, if a trader knew exactly when to get into a market and when to get out, wouldn’t trading be easy! But even the most successful traders in the world can’t do that. The best they can strive for is to catch a bigger part of any move (trend) in the market, and then get out with a good profit before the market turns against them.
I’ve written past articles on trading with the trend and not against it, on the perils of trying to pick tops and bottoms, on support and resistance, and on letting profits run and cutting losses short, as well as trading the “breakouts.” I won’t repeat all those trading tenets here, but if you’ve missed some of my articles, drop me an email and I can attach some of them in an email to you.

Hello Traders,

Today I must share an observation that may help many of you.

So many times as a broker I see clients who know how to make money…I see it in the daily statements, good winning %, consistent profits UNTIL….something happens. Either the client who is normally a day-trader decides to carry his/hers losing position and make it into a swing trade…..OR the trader is down and refuses to accept the fact it may be a losing day and decides to double down and get more aggressive because if this trade is a winner he will have another winning day….the examples go on and no I am not referring to anyone specific although many of you probably think I am talking about them.
I have done it before as a trader. It is the inability to accept a loss that creates this snow ball.
I am not a psychologist nor a professional writer ( English is my second language if you did not tell by now (-:
