Rollover is here for stock indices. i.e., the E-mini and Micro S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones and Russell 2000.
I personally start trading September this Monday when the volume on September is higher than the June.
  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.
 Monday, June 19th is Last Trading Day for June currency futures. It is of the utmost importance for currency traders to exit all June futures contracts by Friday, June 16th and to start trading the September futures. Currency futures are DELIVERABLE contracts.
The month code for September is ‘U.’  Please consider carefully how you place orders when changing over.

 

Trading Resource of the Week –

Trading Pattern: Rising Wedge also known as Ascending Triangle
By Joe Easton, Senior Broker
Formation:
  • This pattern is defined as price narrowing from a wider range to a smaller range while making higher highs and higher lows.
  •  This pattern is a bearish reversal signal suggesting a possible minor retracement or potential trend change.
  •   Typically new highs are seen on lower volume.

815c4ebf 199d 4d1d 9d35 dc12060f97ba

As provided in the examples above the range is narrowing toward the top of the wedge, while still making new highs. This causes a converging of trendlines to make the triangle pointing upward. Ideally this pattern breaks the lower trendline between 65-75% of completion. If the price action continues to the end of the triangle the breakout becomes less likely. Ascending triangles can also be continuation signals in a downtrend, although they have a lower probability.
How to Trade:
The ideal entry is toward the top trendline near the 60% level, this gives you a better position inside the triangle. If entered on this line your stop should be above the upper trendline.
The more conservative entry would be when the lower trendline is broken. This can happen very quickly and needs to be timed more accurately. Using the lower trendline entry the stop is placed above the lower trendline before re-entering the wedge. If the price trades back into the wedge after breaking, the pattern has less likely chance of success. Ideally when the lower trendline is broken price accelerates quickly lower.
When price breaks out you can measure the triangle at the widest section and project price to reach that same distance from the lower trendline.
Summary:
Ascending Triangles can be strong trading patterns provided the formation remains in tact. Unlike many other patterns when an ugly formation can actually be beneficial, this pattern is much more precise. Any closes above the upper trendline or below the lower trendline should continue in that direction. The price action needs to remain inside the trendlines and breakout before the end to maximize the chance of success.
Important: Trading commodity futures and options involves a substantial risk of loss.

July unleaded gasoline satisfied its first upside PriceCount Objective and appears to be entering a corrective trade, which is a normal reaction. From here, if chart can sustain further upside it would have to contend with the April highs before it can reach the second count to 2.80 .

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

Choppy Trading Week Ahead? + Futures Levels 6.06.2023

The Week Ahead:

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

There will be few government reports released this week that will have much of an impact on equity prices.

This past Saturday we have entered the FOMC Blackout period which will last through the next FOMC Rate decision on Wednesday, June 14th and conclude at midnight on June 15th.

Since there is no significant data, we are certain Fed Policy makers will have been able to breathe a bit easier after the debt limit breach was averted.

Next week is going to be considerably different. Why? the Consumer Price Index will be released a day prior to the FED rate decision and may have an 11th hour impact on the policy makers decision to raise or stay firm at current short term fed fund rate. According to the CME’s FedWatch tool, the prospect for rate changes has been anything but sanguine. May 5th there was only an 8.5% chance of another .25 increase and as recently as a week ago there was an over 60% chance and as of todays date the tool is projecting less that a 22% increase by .25 to the .0525-.0550 area. . .

As I said about CPI at the moment the market is pricing in no change but a CPI figure reversing the slow downtrend in current price levels could immediately change the expectations for no change this go round.

Understanding expectations will allow you to trade with more confidence when there is a sudden change in policy directives!

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

10 FAQs To Ask When Shopping for Futures Brokers

Posted on by Cannon Operations

Find out more about futures brokers at Cannon Trading Company here.

When shopping for a futures broker, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure that you choose a broker that meets your trading needs. Here are 10 important questions to ask when shopping for a futures broker.

  1. What futures products do you offer?
    The first question to ask a futures broker is what futures products they offer. Look for a broker that offers a wide variety of futures products, including agricultural, energy, metals, interest rates, and equity indexes. The more products a broker offers, the more opportunities you’ll have to diversify your portfolio and find profitable trades.
  2. What trading platforms do you support?
    The next question to ask a futures broker is what trading platforms they support. Look for a broker that supports multiple trading platforms, including desktop, web, and mobile. This will allow you to access the markets from anywhere at any time and choose the platform that best fits your trading style.
  3. What are your commission and fee structures?
    Commission and fee structures can vary widely among futures brokers, so it’s important to ask about them upfront. Look for a broker that offers low commissions, margin rates, and transaction fees. However, it’s important to keep in mind that low fees may come with trade-offs, such as limited trading tools or resources.
  4. What is your margin requirement?
    Margin requirements can also vary among futures brokers, so it’s important to ask about them upfront. Margin requirements are the amount of money you need to have in your account to open a futures position. Look for a broker that offers reasonable margin requirements that align with your trading style and risk tolerance.
  5. What is your customer support like?
    Customer support is a critical aspect of futures trading, so it’s important to ask about it upfront. Look for a broker that offers reliable customer support that is available 24/7. Ask about the broker’s support channels, such as phone, email, and live chat, and how quickly they respond to inquiries.
  6. What is your regulatory status?
    Regulation is an important aspect of futures trading, as it helps ensure that brokers operate within legal guidelines and are held accountable for any misconduct. Ask about the broker’s regulatory status and which regulatory authorities they are registered with. Look for brokers that are registered with reputable regulatory authorities, such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) or the National Futures Association (NFA).
  7. How do you handle risk management?
    Risk management is a critical aspect of futures trading, as it helps traders minimize their losses and protect their capital. Ask about the broker’s risk management tools and how they help traders manage their risk. Look for brokers that offer stop loss orders, limit orders, and other risk management tools.
  8. What educational resources do you offer?
    Education and training are essential for traders who want to improve their skills and stay up-to-date on the markets. Ask about the broker’s educational resources, such as webinars, tutorials, and articles, that can help you learn the basics of futures trading and develop advanced trading strategies.
  9. Do you offer a demo account?
    A demo account is a useful tool for traders who want to test the broker’s platform and practice trading strategies without risking real money. Ask about the broker’s demo account and how it simulates real trading conditions. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the platform and test your strategies in a risk-free environment.
  10. What is your track record?
    Finally, ask about the broker’s track record and experience in the futures industry. Look for brokers that have a proven track record of success and experience in the markets you’re interested in trading. Ask for references from other traders, and read reviews and testimonials to get a sense of the broker’s reputation.

Asking the right questions when shopping for a futures broker is essential for finding a futures broker that will suit your needs and help you trade responsibly and professionally.

  • Hot Market of the Week – August Live Cattle
Hot market of the week is provided by QT Market Center, A swiss army knife charting package that’s not just for Hedgers, Cooperatives and Farmers alike but also for Spread traders, Swing traders and shorter time frame application for intraday traders with a unique proprietary indicator that can be applied to your specific trading needs.
August live cattle satisfied a third upside PriceCount objective last month and corrected. Now, the chart is recovered missing those April highs. At this point, new sustained highs on the date chart would open up the top side for possible run to the low percentage fourth count. However, first you have weekly chart overhead to old-time highs content would include including the massive Gap that may prove to be too difficult to overcome.

  • Hot Market of the Week – December Corn
Hot market of the week is provided by QT Market Center, A swiss army knife charting package that’s not just for Hedgers, Cooperatives and Farmers alike but also for Spread traders, Swing traders and shorter time frame application for intraday traders with a unique proprietary indicator that can be applied to your specific trading needs.
December corn broke down below five dollar where the we came close enough to satisfy the fourth downside PriceCount objective which suggests we may have come far enough for this stage of the bear slide. Now, on the correction higher, the chart is activated upside counts hitting the first Target to 5.25 earlier this week. If We can sustain new highs from here, the second count would project a run to the 5.37 area which is consistent with a challenge of this month’s High.

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
