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.

First full week of trading for 2018 started today after 2 short weeks/ followed by two long weekends.
I suspect we should see better volume and perhaps some changes in market direction but SUSPECT is in capital letters….
Until then my advice is to trade what you see and not what you want to see. Focus more on trade management and having a plan for the trade before you enter it.
We are here if you want to chat trading, markets and more!

Make 2018 a great one!

Dear Traders,
A picture is worth a thousand words….
A look at the monthly mini NASDAQ 100 chart below illustrates the amazing rally we had since 2008.
The last technical sell signal on the monthly chart was late 2008…since then, you can see more than a few buy signals on this rally ( blue plus signs and green arrows), which in my opinion, was initiated and fueled by the Fed. to a large extent.

Dear Traders,
Christmas Holiday trading Schedule is now available!
Trading Commodity Seasonal Patterns
Every calendar year there are different seasons. It is how we plan our lives. Weather is the first to come to mind, but there are holidays, sports, shopping and many more that help break up the monotony of our day to day patterns. The commodities market is no different. Just as you use a calendar to plan and differentiate Thanksgiving from Opening Day in baseball, you can use the same calendar to blueprint possibly when wheat futures will be high and copper prices low. Traders can use these seasonal patterns to their advantage because it allows a certain degree of predictability of future price movements, rather than being bombarded by an endless stream of often contradictory market noise. Now of course there are other factors too numerous to list that can affect the futures markets, but certain conditions and events reoccur at annual intervals and help traders anticipate where the market is headed.
