Triple Witching + Trading levels for 12.16.2022

START TRADING MARCH CURRENCY FUTURES AS WELL!

Triple Witching

Heads up traders:

Triple Witching is near. For those of you trading stock index futures – any size S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, Russell 2000 – remember that this Friday at 8:30 A.M. Central Time, those contracts’ December futures expire and will no longer be available for trading. If you happen to hang on to any Dec. contracts past that time, they will automatically be offset via the cash settlement price of that contract. For you stock index futures options traders, if you to hang on to any Dec. options, the cash settlement price will determine whether your options are in or out of the money, in which case they will either expire worthless or be instantly exercised/assigned, valued and offset by the cash settlement price. Stock options also expire this Friday, thus the triple witching expression (no supernatural phenomena will appear at this time).

 

Final Settlement Procedures

Quarterly settlement of S&P 500, E-mini S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, E-mini S&P MidCap 400, S&P 500 Citigroup/Growth and Value and SPCTR Index futures and options on futures are based on a Special Opening Quotation of the relevant underlying index. The Special Opening Quotation for each index is based on the opening price of each component stock in that index on expiration Friday.

Special Opening Quotations (SOQ) generally differ from the opening index value of each index because all stocks do not open immediately. For example, on typical days surveyed by CME Group, most S&P stocks open quickly, with around 95% open within 15 minutes and 98% open within 30 minutes. Other indexes with larger numbers of stocks may take longer to open.

 

Please contact your broker if you have any questions about your positions. And remember, the next front month for these contracts – March – is already well traded and available.

 

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.

CPI, FOMC & Rollover!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

A Volatile week ahead.. CPI, FOMC, and Thursday, a number of market movers : Take Note: this is Rollover week for the Equities!

The Consumer Price Index release has been a boom or bust for many accounts and there are very few reasons to expect the November reading to create any less price movement in the Equities, Interest rate products, Currencies and Precious metals markets. 12/13, tomorrow morning at 7:30 CST sharp this report will be released! Year over Year CPI is expected to be tempered a little and come in @ 7.3% compared to 7.7% last month. Remember expectations are baked into current futures prices. FOMC meets this week and will announce it’s final fed funds policy move for 2022. The rate decision will be on 12/14 Wednesday at 1 P.M. CDT promptly and the news conference with Fed Chair Jerome Powell at 1:30 P.M. CDT to follow. ROLL to MARCH 2023 equity contracts as today is the first day we are seeing more volume in the March Contracts than in the December ones the symbol for March is H so a micro e-mini S&P contract will be MESH23. Thursday we get Jobless claims, Retail sales and Industrial production.

I recommend the sideline tomorrow morning at 5:30 CDT and at 11:30 CDT on Wednesday for the CPI and FOMC numbers. We/you can’t determine the strength of the initial move then the capitulation with any certainty at all during these events. As always , plan your trade and trade your plan

A Cannon broker will be able to assist, provide feedback and answer any questions.

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
Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Keep a Trading Journal!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

You’ll often hear us say ‘plan your trade and trade your plan’.

I’ll add to that “and keep a detailed Trading Journal or Trading Diary”.

There are a number of important ways you can develop as a trader by documenting and reviewing your daily trading activity.

  1. Skill development – a diary allows you to see where in your analysis you were correct, but most importantly where you were wrong. Most of us find it difficult to admit when a mistake has been made. A conversation in the mirror is helpful to overcome this frailty. Not calling out your mistakes will hinder you as a trader, learning from your mistakes is one of the most effective ways of improving any skill set. Michael Jordan’s secret to success was captured in his quote; “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots; I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed” Fearlessness when it came to failing. Honesty first, with yourself.
  2. Improves your trading strategy- giving yourself the ability to look back and potentially avoid making the same mistake more than once. You can identify the successful strategy whether it was due to a set-up, a particular way the market was behaving, before a report or after one or perhaps your risk management strategy. After evaluating the success or failures of your trading strategy, you may conclude that you need to change that strategy.
  3. Key elements to your diary-

Date and time

Position size ( in notional value relative to your account size)

Details of the transaction, Long or Short, entry price, risk management used (stop, option or spread) trade outcome. Keep notes of specific market behavior during times like holiday trading, specific reports ( CPI, NFP etc.)

Record your why, your rationale for the trade. Record your emotional state (well rested, anxious, excited) Was it a busy day?, did you monitor the trade?, did you go to the gym?, did you leave for a few hours? Why did you close the trade? Did you get nervous? Was the market beginning to change complexion?

Setting aside time to review your journal once a week is highly recommended to gain the maximum use out of the experience. A trading journal or Trading Diary is not just about the initial documentation, but the review is what will create a better understanding of triggers, both good and bad that you can learn from and improve your trading strategy for years to come.

A Cannon broker will be able to assist, provide feedback and answer any questions.

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.

Options on Futures OR Outright Futures?

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Trading futures Options may be more suitable for your account’s well being when you are right about the direction of the asset, but incorrect about the timing of the move. Through options, you are literally buying time and value if they are in the money at expiration.

What is an option?

An option on a futures contract is the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying futures contract at a predetermined price on or before a given date in the future.

Option Benefits

  • Options can be used like insurance policies to limit losses on a futures contract.
  • They can also be used for speculative purposes, whether you are selling options to receive premium income or using options to establish a position in a particular commodity, index or interest rate.
  • As hedging instruments, options can produce offsetting gains in the face of adverse price changes in the cash market.
  • Options permit you to efficiently deploy capital, in the form of option premium. In this case, you can participate in the price movements of the underlying asset, without having to buy the asset outright.

Below is a roughly 1 hour course produced by the CME titled:

“Introduction to Options”

As always, plan your trade and trade your plan. Please contact your broker or Cannon Trading with any questions.

FOMC Trading Day Tips + Futures Trading Levels & Reports for 11.02.2022

Posted on by Ilan
Get Real Time updates and more on our private FB group!

Tomorrow we have FOMC.

The following are my PERSONAL suggestions on trading during FOMC days:
·    Reduce trading size
·    Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
·    Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 3925.00 with a stop at 3919.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 3919.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example ( consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).
·    Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
·    Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
·    Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.
·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
·    Be patient and be disciplined
·    If in doubt, stay out!!

Random Thoughts Going Through a Trader’s Mind…. + Trading Levels 11.01.2022

Posted on by Ilan

Today I wanted to share a few tidbits/ pointers that were going through my mind as the trading day progressed:

  1. Learn to forgive yourself….stop beating yourself up for mistakes and “could have, should have, would have”….it will only create frustration and frustration = erratic trading.
  2. Trading is not a perfect science, at times you can do everything right and still lose.
  3. Learn to relax, physically and mentally while trading. I think a relaxed trader is 2 s better than a stressed trader.
  4. It’s ok to reduce trading size if it helps making you a more relaxed trader.
  5. The sooner in the day you recognize what type of trading day is unfolding, better chances you will have to use the appropriate strategies. Example, trending days require different trading methods than choppy days. Take a look at today’s trading session versus Friday for example.
  6. If you are a short term trader, learn to look at range bar and volume charts RATHER than only TIME charts. Range bars and volume charts will do 2 things to help you in my opinion: when the market moves fast, you will get your clues faster ( think about how many big moves you have seen/ missed waiting for a 15 minutes bar to complete….) and when the market moves slow, you will not just get a “signal” simply because 15 minutes bar closed and study outputs have changes. More on that in this video.

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.
