Category: Futures Trading

Futures trading is done by two main parties, one of which is the hedger and the other one is the speculator. Where a speculator is there to trade for either their own accounts or that of their clients, a hedger always uses futures as a possible protection from losses. Hedgers can also be described as individuals or business owners who are more risk averse. Speculators and hedgers are likely to benefit from futures trading if the trader has a strong ability to analyze the markets and understands that future behavior. Though futures can behigh risk, they offer an equally high return and are thus very tempting.

In case you are new to futures trading you need to understand how things work. We at Cannon Trading are there to help with your understanding of all the elements of futures trading and also counsel and advise you with the same. Our knowledge base featured on our website, is a store house of information. In order to know every aspect of futures trading, you must read through these articles that have been listed in this category archive. Go through it and get better informed!

The September Kansas City- Chicago wheat spread completed its second downside PriceCount objective and responded with a key reversal and corrective trade. At this point, IF the chart can resume its break with new sustained laws, the third count would project a possible run to the 43 Cent 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

The Week Ahead:

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

Which economic number(s) can direct the Equity markets this week?

The answer , in advance of the upcoming July 4th week, is probably very few.

Most of the reports releasing this week will probably not shed any new light on what is already known. so far, with the aid of a strong labor market, the US economy is sufficiently resilient to remain out of recession despite the aggressive series of rate hikes begun in March 2022 to fight inflation.

For us traders, it will always remain important to know the TIME these reports are going to be released so you can anticipate the market behaving differently up to, during and following these government report releases. whether they are considered barn burners or not.

With possible statistical chance for range bound and choppy trading, traders may want to look at trading intraday spreads or even swing trading spreads such as Russell versus ES.

All times CDT – Tuesday Durable Goods 7:30 am,

Consumer Confidence and new home sales at 9:00 am,

Wednesday Fed Chair Jerome Powell 8:30 am,

Thursday GDP 3rd look at 1st quarter and Jobless claims, both at 7:30 am.

Friday, personal income and outlays.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General:

 

As of this typing, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell just wrapped up testifying before the House Financial Services Committee. Tomorrow he’ll testify in front of the Senate Banking Committee. These congressional appearances come on the heels of last week’s FOMC meeting where the central bank decided not to raise interest rates for the first time in eleven meetings. The key take-away: while inflation has eased – to just above 5% – the campaign to see inflation back to the bank’s 2% target “has a long way to go.” Moving at a pace that includes holding steady at this point, the chairman explained, will give policymakers time to analyze how higher rates are working to slow the economy.

 

Agricultural

 

Starting June 1, after a ± two-month / ±$2.00 price drop to below $13/bushel, July Soybeans have soared to today’s $15.19½ / bushel closing price, a ±$10,000 per contract move in 14 trade sessions. July corn prices started their lift-off a couple of weeks earlier and they’ve gained ±$2.00 / bushel – another ±$10,000 move – as well, as of today’s close of trading. U.S. crop conditions continue to worsen according to recent reports and forecasts for waves of cooler, wetter fronts returning and traversing a large area of the U.S. growing region into this weekend have been almost completely discounted.

 

Metals

 

Aug. gold traded to 3-month lows today, touching $1929.30 / oz. intraday, continuing a ±month and half slide from its spike high above $$2,100 ounce on May 4th.

 

Softs

 

Sugar (basis July) remained near ±12-yr highs around 25 cents / pound, but has remained choppy since its first foray to these highs back in April. Traders keep an eye on news related to Indian and Brazilian cane crop development in these important growing regions, particularly as the monsoon season approaches as this will provide guidance to this year’s crop development.

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.

The Week Ahead:

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Stock index price volatility is anticipated to pick up this week with the release of several key U.S. Government reports tied to inflation. It begins early Tuesday morning and continues through Thursday.

Before we get into the details , volatility typically = additional risk.

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

12c29538 b7a9 4259 bdd6 987303bca4cc

and Finally @ 1:00 P.M. CDT the Fed meeting concludes and the decision on the target range for fed funds will be released, followed by a 1:30 P.M. J, Powell News Conference with a Q & A session.

Thursday, Jobless claims, Retail sales and Industrial production close out the meaningful reports for the week as Friday should be a balancing day prior to the weekend and after the June ES expiration!  Strap your seat belts on!

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

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.
