The State of Affairs in Energy Futures

by Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker
In recent weeks, we’ve seen declines in global equity markets as well as in consumer and investor sentiment. We’re on the leading edge of a near 8-month rise in inflation to 40-yr. highs – rising at an equal 40-year record pace.
At the same time, some of the latest global inflation data has been inconclusive. Short-term inflation momentum which measures a three-month annualized rate as opposed to the pace of price increases in one month compared with the same month a year earlier (think CPI) have started to soften. The Commerce Department’s monthly personal-consumption expenditures report has shown consumers are shifting to a more-normal balance of spending on goods and services compared to the demand surge earlier in the Covid-19 pandemic.
Regardless of how conditions play out in the coming weeks and months, don’t count on energy prices falling off any time soon. Nationally and globally, even if we experience an economic decline and energy demand subsides, the aftereffects will be slight. Both the supply and demand sides of the equation will account for stubbornly high prices both at the pump and in natural gas. Strategic stockpiles are in need of replenishing, the expanding ban on Russian imports is only beginning to impact prices, structural adjustments to realign energy supply chains to accommodate for the war will take months or longer and seasonal summer demand is on the horizon.
EVEN BETTTER…reach out to a Cannon Trading broker.
Good Trading!

Margin Requirements are your Ally + Futures Support and Resistance Levels 5.19.2022

Margin Requirements are your Ally

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker
As a rule, all futures contracts come with financial requirements in order to trade them. These requirements come in the form of margin. For the vast majority of traders – speculators – there are three types: 1.) the initial margin requirement, 2.) the maintenance margin requirement and 3.) the day trading margin requirement. The first two are established by the futures exchange on which a particular futures contract is traded. The initial margin requirement is the amount of cash you must have to initiate a position in the market. The maintenance margin requirement – typically 80-90% of the initial margin requirement – is the amount of money required to maintain the position your account. Day trading margin requirements are set by individual clearing firms and/or brokerage firms and are fractionally lower than a contract’s initial margin requirement, sometimes ±80% below the initial margin requirement.
While all these are designated as requirements, traders should also look at them as guardrails or markers that serve not just to notify you of the potential risk in the market you’re about to trade, but also to give you an idea of the risk to your account you should anticipate once you’re in the trade. Be prepared. In the event the market(s) you’re trading cause an adverse drop in your account’s balance – below the maintenance margin requirement of your position – and a margin call occurs, yes it’s an unfavorable outcome, but it’s also a genuine alert that you need to take action. It’s time to either offset part or all of the position or deposit more money (enough to bring your account back above the initial margin requirement) to keep the position. Treat margin requirements more as words to the wise rather than handcuffs. Trade with the thought that margin requirements are your friend.

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.  You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.

Exiting a Trade might be more important than the entry….

“You Must Understand That There Is More Than One Path To The Top Of The Mountain.”- Miyamoto Musashi, A Book Of Five Rings: The Classic Guide To Strategy
Futures and futures options trading is a challenging activity. More so for those traders who look to trading as an occupation. So much thinking, contemplating, planning goes into trading – related to the markets you’re trading, the strategies that get implemented, the possible risk/reward outcomes. For someone new to trading, seeing the sum total of all the parts may be a lot to take in. Veteran traders will tell you the full picture keeps changing and can be daunting often.
When trading goes well, the trader’s energy and overall outlook is powerful, optimistic and energizing for other aspects of life. When trading goes unsuccessfully, most traders feel the pain in many ways outside of the obvious financial consequences.
Whether you’re a day trader, a position trader, a spread trader, or an option trader, some of the mental challenges and the questions to go with them are constant:
  • Where, When and how do I enter a trade?
  • How do I define risk and implement any type of risk control, like placing stop orders, or implementing some sort of option protection?
  • Where and how do I exit a trade, both in the event of a profitable trade and an unsuccessful one?
