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!

Trading Updates:

The CME fee schedule effective March 1, 2023 has been added on the CME Group fee page.
Just this last November, the U.S. Justice Department announced that two Estonian citizens were arrested for their alleged involvement in a $575 million cryptocurrency fraud and money laundering conspiracy. That same month, a notable Chinese venture investor, Bo Shen revealed he lost $42 million worth of crypto as a result of a theft from his personal wallet.
Between then and now, the news of the collapse of crypto platform FTX continues to rattle the world of digital assets. To date, FTX’s customers’ funds are still frozen and they are losing hope they will ever get much back. It’s customers number in the millions. The 50 largest creditors alone are owed more than $3 billion dollars.
It makes you wonder about the safety and integrity of trading crypto assets.
Let this be a reminder that the world’s largest futures and options exchange – the CME Group – offers you a choice for managing cryptocurrency risk with Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin futures and options as well as Ether futures.
These contracts trade on a regulated exchange where all participants see the same prices and quotes. Participants enjoy true market transparency and price discovery. They all can be easily traded on your supported trading platform.
For more information or a professional consultation, or to try a futures trading platform demo, contact Cannon Trading Co.
Updates effective March 1, 2023 are listed below and highlighted on the schedules:
  • CME Alternative Investment Product Fee Schedules
  • (NEW) Note 4 – Effective through August 31, 2023, the Exchange Fees for all Globex, EFP, EFR, Block and BTIC transactions in Micro Bitcoin Futures will be discounted to $0.70 for members and to $1.00 for non-members.

PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
April live cattle satisfied second upside PriceCounts objective last month and has spent time consolidating since. At this point if the charts can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the third count would project a run to the 171.92 area, very close to the old time high print from the fall of 2014.

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

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

 

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

Inflation concerns weigh heavily not only on the markets we trade, discussions with our family, friends and neighbors often include the topic of inflation. It’s an inescapable reality in 2023. This weeks anticipated market movers are inflation gauges or data points the FED uses to guide future policy directives.

Tomorrow we have a number of gauges for the markets to absorb and they are all before 10 a.m. EST. Case -Shiller home price index, Chicago PMI, Consumer Confidence and the Richmond Fed Manu Index. All between 9 and 10 a.m..

Wednesday Fed Governor Kashkari at 9 a.m. followed by PMI Manu Final @ 9:45 ISM and construction spending @ 10 a.m.

Thursday Motor Vehicle Sales (look for a slowdown compared to a hot January) and Jobless Claims at 8:30 EST and Productivity and costs.  It’s also a heavy week for US Treasury bill note and bond settlements and auctions.

Friday ISM @ 10 EST and a number of fed Governor speeches beginning @ 110:45 EST through the end of the trading week. No Non Farm Payrolls this week!

Historically, the Senate Banking and the House Financial Services committees hold hearings with the FED Chair Twice a year and February is the month these open mike events are held. Not this year. Although when they do schedule the hearings it may be a little more challenging for FED Chair Powell to rely on Post Black out period discussions since this is normally when the Chairman is invited to the congressional hearings-immediately after FED Rate announcements.

The employment situation for February AKA Non Farm Payrolls won’t be released until Friday, March 10. The February survey reference period ended Saturday, February 18. It takes three weeks to prepare the report. What is normally a first Friday of the month release, will therefore be on the second Friday.

PCE tomorrow. Last few PCE reports we saw some very wild moves!

What is the PCE report?

Source Bureau of Economic Analysis (latest release): Measures Change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers, excluding food and energy; Usual Effect ‘Actual’ greater than ‘Forecast’ is good for currency;

Frequency Released monthly, about 30 days after the month ends;

Next Release Mar 31, 2023 FF Notes Differs from Core CPI in that it only measures goods and services targeted towards and consumed by individuals.

Prices are weighted according to total expenditure per item which gives important insights into consumer spending behavior. CPI is released about 10 days earlier and tends to garner most of the attention;

Why Traders Care? It’s the Federal Reserve’s primary inflation measure. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate;

Acro Expand Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), Consumer Price Index (CPI);

FOMC Minutes, 02.22.2023 Trading Levels

Posted on by Ilan

The below commentary about tomorrow’s FOMC minutes is provided by www.NewSquawk.com

 

FOMC MINUTES (WED): After economic data for January highlighted a hot economy where inflation appears to be sticky, traders will look through the minutes for clues about how the central bank could respond, specifically looking at any commentary that indicates officials have appetite for rate hikes to resume with jumbo increments above 25bps, or even expectations of a higher terminal rate for the cycle. As a reminder, the Fed hiked its FFR by 25bps to 4.5-4.75% at its February meeting, as expected.

The statement said the central bank continues to see “ongoing increases” in the Fed rate as being appropriate, coming against some expectations that the line could be dropped in order to give optionality for a lower terminal rate than the 5-5.25% median dot in the December SEPs. While that didn’t happen, we did see a switch in language on guidance from the “pace of future increases” to the “extent of future increases,” suggesting that debate is moving from the size of hike increments to how many hikes remain in the cycle, a dovish offset to the continued use of “ongoing increases”. Elsewhere in the statement, the Fed acknowledged that inflation had eased

somewhat, but remained elevated. Chair Powell sat on the fence on many topics he was asked about in his postmeeting press conference, rather than cut off his options.

The Fed Chair confirmed that the disinflation process was underway, albeit he was eager to highlight that core services inflation, ex-housing, had not shown progress. He believes that policy is still not ‘sufficiently restrictive’, but left optionality by stressing data dependence, later saying that it is possible that the Fed updates its policy path if the data came in differently to what it expects. Powell said the Fed has not yet made a decision on the terminal rate, and that it will look at the data between now and the March SEPs.

The Fed chief sees a path to getting inflation to 2% without significant economic decline, though it could take more slowing in the economy than it expects.

The Week Ahead – FRB Federal Reserve Bank’s quiet period or Blackout period is over

 

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

On an otherwise quiet week for economic releases and the FRB Federal Reserve Bank’s quiet period or Blackout period over, The Fed members are again, free to entertain speaking engagements. If you remember last week, Chairman Powell and the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) announced the expected .25 rate hike.

On Tuesday, February 7th @ 12:40p.m. EST, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is slated to appear at the Economic Club of Washington D.C., and may give investors and retail traders a preview of his semi-annual report to Congress later this month. Powell may also update his outlook given the January employment number surprise was released after the FOMC rate decision. Of note, Last Friday marked the halfway mark in the earnings season as 250 of the S&P 500 stocks finished reporting their earnings. Of course we have another leg to go as we turn the corner and look for few ,if any earnings surprises across the board as lowered expectations have been baked into the market already. On the jobs front we do have a jobless claims report, pre market on Thursday at 7:30 a.m. CST. Finally for the week, The President’s State of the Union address is tomorrow night @9 P.M. EST, 8 P.M. CST. Although you should be able to view his speech on any of your favorite news outlets, we don’t expect any market changing announcements of substance. Be on the ball if there is.

Exiting a Trade might be more important than the entries….
“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. Moreso 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?
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.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
April Live Cattle have resumed their rally into new highs. The 2nd upside PriceCount objective is near $165.

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.
