As a high risk trading type, futures trading is not for someone who is faint-hearted. Though there are a number of different ways of investing in futures , it is important to stick to what you know. Treading into unknown waters is not something that you should do when dealing in futures.

From managing margins to ordering trades to doing market analysis and more if you want to, you can do that all by yourself – but you may betaking double the risk. Therefore, when trading in futures, it may be better to seek advice from a professional trader.

Professional trading experts at Cannon Trading can help you with your futures trading. We are also there to keep you updated with the latest on futures trading and market news. All the news and latest articles on futures trading are published on our site under the category Archive Futures Trading News, which you are currently browsing through.

5. Economic Reports for Wednesday June 6, 2012

Hello Traders,

Heads up traders! Front month for bonds, ten years and other financials is now September.

Front month for gold is August.

June is still front month for indices and currencies.

Tomorrow we have weekly Crude Oil inventories, which can usually move this market both ways pretty fast…

Crude has been in a very strong downtrend last couple of months and what I see in the below daily chart, is a chance for this market to bounce up a bit, maybe to the 88 area. The trend is still down no doubt (and it is a strong trend as indicated by 99 trend strength level in the chart), but it is rare that markets go up or down with a small correction and this is what I would look for if tomorrows numbers, or more important, market reaction to the numbers are bullish.

Daily Crude Oil chart for your review below:

Front month for gold is August.

June is still front month for indices and currencies.

Mini Russell daily chart for your review below. An attempt to rally off the lows fizzled today and tomorrow can provide some clues for future direction. Tomorrow being the last day in May will provide some longer term traders with a fresh look at the weekly and monthly charts, so the close tomorrow may be significant.

Close below 760 may suggest new lows to follow, close above 780 may signal continued bounce higher.

Trade with patience, trade with discipline and good trading to all.
