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.

We bounced pretty good from major support early this morning. Some levels to pay attention to as we start a new week in the mini Dow chart below. Until then, relax, clear your head from trading, “what you could have done and should have done” etc…..write a journal if needed, learn from mistakes when you can but don’t let negative energy hurt your trading.
Have a great weekend!

Market is showing weakening signs. We need to hold previous lows of 1037 and rally in order to gain any upside momentum. Break of this level can bring 1000.75 much quicker.
I have a feeling traders will have potential for trades on both sides depending on volatility and pre market GDP report tomorrow.

Daily chart of the mini Russell, which I consider the leader, for review below. Looks like we may get a test of previous lows and if and then the big question.. do we bounce or do we start a new leg lower:
Well the big question for this point in time is here.. we met the initial target of 1049 and from a technical point of view we are looking at some wide bands. 1049 being pivot line, 1080 being resistance and 1000.75 being major support.

Somewhat of a quiet day on the futures exchange to start the week after some volatile sessions last week. As I’ve said many times before, if a trader can recognize early enough during the trading session, what type of trading day is about to unfold, then one can use the proper day-trading technique more suitable for that day.
Some examples may include: join the trend on trending day, mean aversion techniques on choppy days and much more.
On a different note, I got a blue diamond for tomorrow’s session which can mean potential up day if the market can break above 1083.00 or….continued decline if it fails to gain some upside momentum. Daily chart for review below:

FOMC tomorrow around 14:15 EST
FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow. If you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the futures market.
My observations suggest choppy, low volume up until announcement, followed by some some sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement.

Daily chart of Mini Dow Jones futures contract for your review below with possible Elliot Wave scenarios. The 82 reading suggest the current uptrend is strong. If the 3rd wave we are in will continue than next target will be 10723. If the market pulls back first to possible 4th wave, support is at 10490. Of course, when its all said and done what matters most is price action and not what we want or hope the market will do.
Fairly boring trading day on the futures market. Low volume and overall not many set ups after initial move up. It is what it is. As a futures trader, know what market environment you are in and don’t try to force trades if you don’t have the set ups you are looking for. Some days, the market provides better opportunities than others, sometimes it provides many more risks. Patience is key. No trade is better than a bad trade.
