July Oats finally stabilized their slide last month and then activated upside PriceCount objectives on the correction higher. Chart is satisfied its first count to $3.81 where it would be normal to get a near-term reaction in a form of consolidation or corrective trade. If you can sustain for the strength from here, the second count would project the possible run to the $4.10 area

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

Fed Pause Rates, ECB Tomorrow + Levels for June 15th

Don’t take anything for granted:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

It’s a big week for financial markets and their related futures contracts with interest rate decisions from three major central banks coming one after another: the U.S. Federal Reserve (which just decided not to raise rates for the first time in eleven months), the European Central Bank and the Central Bank of Japan.

 

The Bank of Canada hiked rates last Wednesday to a 22-year high of 4.75%, having held rates steady since January.  The day prior, Australia’s central bank raised rates by a quarter point to an 11-year high and warned of further tightening ahead.

 

One of the take-aways from last week’s surprise rate increases in Canada and Australia and today’s first-time respite by the Fed.: don’t take anything for granted.

 

Economies around the world are experiencing disparate inflation trajectories compared to others – including the U.S. – and their central bank’s efforts to getting inflation down have started to deviate somewhat.  Financial and other futures markets, ever reacting to uncertainty – often overreacting – may become even more challenging arenas within which to trade.

 

This is pretty clear set-up to submit again the usefulness of trading options – either in combination with your futures trading or exclusive of it.  Trading options offers a near limitless range of risk/reward scenarios to take on, from that on par with straight futures trading to substantially less to absolutely limited.  And because options are valued in part by their ever-decaying lifespans, they offer another component to a trade’s outcome: time value.

 

If you think options aren’t for you, consider one sector’s growth in this area in the last recent years: equity index options.  Options in the E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq continue to see strong growth in participation and volume as market participants are increasingly turning to the them as part of their trading – and talk to your broker at Cannon Trading Co. for more information.

See below the ADV ( avg. daily volume) for NQ and ES

E-mini S&P 500 Options Annual ADV

E-mini Nasdaq-100 Options Annual ADV

Rollover is here for stock indices. i.e., the E-mini and Micro S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones and Russell 2000.

  Volume in the June contracts will begin to drop off until their expiration next Friday, June 16th (8:30 A.M., Central Time). At that point, trading in these contracts halts. Stock index futures are CASH SETTLED contracts. If you hold any June futures contracts through 8:30 A.M., Central Time on Friday, June 16th, they will be offset with the cash settlement price, as set by the exchange.

What to Look For: Trading Corn Futures with Cannon Trading Company

Posted on by Cannon Operations

Learn more about trading corn futures here.

When trading corn futures with Cannon Trading Company, it is crucial to pay attention to specific market factors that can significantly impact corn prices. Understanding these factors and their potential influence on the corn market can help you make more informed trading decisions. In this article, we will discuss what to look for in the market when trading corn futures with Cannon Trading Company.

  1. Supply and Demand: Supply and demand dynamics are fundamental drivers of corn prices. Monitor the global supply and demand balance of corn, including production estimates, stock levels, and consumption patterns. Keep an eye on weather conditions, as adverse weather can affect crop yields and lead to reduced supply. Similarly, changes in consumption patterns, such as shifts in demand for corn-based biofuels or animal feed, can impact the demand side of the equation. Cannon Trading Company provides market reports and analysis that can help you stay informed about supply and demand fundamentals.
  2. Government Policies: Government policies play a significant role in the corn market. Pay attention to agricultural subsidies, trade agreements, import and export regulations, and biofuel mandates. Changes in these policies can create uncertainty and impact corn prices. For example, an increase in ethanol production mandates can drive up corn prices, while import restrictions or export bans can disrupt supply and affect prices. Stay informed about government policies and their potential effects on the corn market.
  3. Weather Conditions: Weather plays a crucial role in corn production. Monitor weather patterns, including rainfall, temperature, and growing conditions in major corn-producing regions. Adverse weather events, such as droughts, floods, or extreme heat, can significantly impact crop yields and lead to higher prices. Conversely, favorable weather conditions can result in increased yields and lower prices. Stay updated on weather forecasts and their potential implications for corn production.
  4. Crop Reports: Crop reports provide valuable insights into the current state of corn crops. Pay attention to reports from government agencies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), that provide data on crop progress, planting intentions, and yield estimates. These reports can influence market sentiment and prices. Cannon Trading Company offers access to relevant crop reports and analysis to help you stay informed about the latest developments in the corn market.
  5. Macroeconomic Factors: Monitor macroeconomic indicators that can impact the corn market. Factors such as inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, and overall economic trends can influence corn prices. For example, a weaker currency can make corn exports more attractive, leading to increased demand and higher prices. Keep an eye on economic news and trends that may have indirect effects on the corn market.
  6. Technical Analysis: Utilize technical analysis techniques to identify patterns and trends in corn price charts. Look for support and resistance levels, trend lines, moving averages, and other technical indicators to make trading decisions. Cannon Trading Company’s advanced trading platforms offer technical analysis tools and charting capabilities to help you analyze corn price movements effectively.
  7. Market Sentiment: Market sentiment, often influenced by news and market rumors, can impact corn futures prices. Monitor market sentiment to gauge the overall mood and expectations of market participants. Positive or negative sentiment can drive prices in one direction or another. Stay informed about relevant news, events, and market commentary to understand the prevailing sentiment in the corn market.
  8. Seasonal Patterns: Corn prices can exhibit seasonal patterns based on planting and harvesting seasons. Familiarize yourself with historical price patterns to identify recurring seasonal trends. For example, planting delays due to weather conditions can lead to price increases, while the harvest season may bring increased supplies and lower prices. Consider these seasonal patterns when formulating your trading strategies.

When trading corn futures with Cannon Trading Company, it is essential to closely monitor key market factors that can influence corn prices. Factors such as supply and demand dynamics, government policies, weather conditions, crop reports, macroeconomic indicators, technical analysis, market sentiment, and seasonal patterns should be taken into account. Cannon Trading Company provides valuable resources, including market reports, analysis, and advanced trading platforms, to help you stay informed about these market factors. By keeping a close eye on these variables, you can make more informed trading decisions when trading corn futures with Cannon Trading Company.

Some traders welcome the additional price movements as it may play into their collective strategic hands, while many other traders not only create a strategy that is based on smaller more well defined price movements but, rely on reduced volatility to trade successfully.

It is an urgent matter to understand what kind of trader you are, what type of system and indicators you employ and plan your trade around these reports as you see fit.

In anticipation of the release of these numbers, some clearing firms will be increasing the day trade margin rates during this time. Please contact your broker for any questions as it relates specifically to your clearing firm and and account so you have plenty of time and capital resources to plan for these changes. Many times these short term increases in margin rates are for a matter of minutes. be prepared.

As for the details, : Tuesday 7:30 a..m. CDT May CPI Consumer Price Index here is the consensus from Econoday.com

Trading Wheat Futures with Cannon Trading Company

Posted on by Cannon Operations

Learn more about trading wheat futures with Cannon Trading Company here.

Wheat is a vital commodity that plays a significant role in global food production and consumption. Trading wheat futures provides traders with the opportunity to profit from price movements in this important agricultural product. Cannon Trading Company, a reputable brokerage firm, offers a platform for traders to engage in wheat futures trading. In this article, we will explore the process of trading wheat futures with Cannon Trading Company and highlight the benefits it offers to traders.

  1. Market Access: Cannon Trading Company provides traders with direct access to major wheat futures exchanges such as the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and the Kansas City Board of Trade (KCBT). These exchanges are home to actively traded wheat futures contracts, including the Chicago Wheat (ZW) and Kansas City Wheat (KE) contracts. By trading through Cannon Trading Company, traders gain easy access to these markets, enabling them to participate in the price discovery and capitalize on trading opportunities.
  2. Price Transparency: Wheat futures markets are known for their high transparency and efficiency. Prices are publicly quoted and readily available to traders, ensuring a level playing field. With Cannon Trading Company’s platform, CannonPro, traders have real-time access to price quotes, market depth, and historical data, enabling them to make informed trading decisions. Price transparency enhances market efficiency and helps traders execute trades at fair and competitive prices.
  3. Liquidity: Wheat futures markets are highly liquid, with significant trading volume and participation. This liquidity ensures that traders can enter and exit positions swiftly without significant price slippage. It also enables traders to trade in large volumes, allowing for greater flexibility in executing trading strategies. Cannon Trading Company’s platform connects traders to this robust liquidity, providing them with ample trading opportunities and smooth trade execution.
  4. Risk Management: Wheat futures can be valuable risk management tools for participants in the wheat industry. Farmers, millers, and other market participants can utilize wheat futures contracts to hedge against price fluctuations. By taking an opposite position in the futures market, they can offset the potential losses incurred in their physical wheat holdings. Cannon Trading Company offers the necessary tools and resources to assist traders in implementing effective risk management strategies using wheat futures contracts.
  5. Diversification: Trading wheat futures allows traders to diversify their portfolios by adding exposure to the agricultural commodities market. Wheat futures exhibit unique price dynamics that can differ from other asset classes such as stocks or bonds. By diversifying into wheat futures, traders can potentially reduce the overall risk of their portfolios by not relying solely on traditional financial assets. Cannon Trading Company’s platform facilitates diversification by offering access to a range of wheat futures contracts.
  6. Leverage: Wheat futures are leveraged instruments, which means traders can control a larger contract value with a smaller margin deposit. This leverage can amplify potential profits, allowing traders to generate significant returns on their invested capital. However, it is essential to note that leverage also increases the risk of losses, and traders should exercise caution and employ appropriate risk management strategies when trading wheat futures.
  7. Education and Support: Cannon Trading Company is committed to providing traders with educational resources and support. Traders can access a wide range of educational materials, including webinars, tutorials, market analysis, and research reports. These resources are designed to enhance traders’ understanding of wheat futures trading and help them develop effective trading strategies.
