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!

Here is some futures market insight from a new member on our team but seasoned Broker, Steve Nimerov:
“Sell the rumor….Buy the fact’
Or:
“When you’re crying…You should be buying”
Some of the oldest adages,in Futures trading psychology,might sound flippant
or too simple to acknowledge,such as the header to this blog as stated above,but
are actually rooted in time worn lessons learned.Such was the early panic in the grains
and soy market,early this morning.A perfect storm of bearish news came streaming

Here is some futures market insight from our Senior Broker, Joe Easton:
When Trading Markets around reports, having stop and limit orders in advance can be imperative due to the speed of the move can be faster than your finger can click.
Additionally, it is more important to have a plan in advance and levels to use while managing your trade. By turning off the 24 hour function on the chart and showing only RTH (regular trading hours) You can see how the spike low of 2031 was the same exact price as yesterday’s opening print. This small tip can help weed out the Globex noise.

Here is some futures market insight from our Senior Broker, Jack Engin of today’s market action:
There is a muffled mix of excitement and tempered anxiety in the air surrounding all of the markets ahead of the FOMC’s all-important announcement tomorrow.
Our Vice President, Ilan Levy-Mayer, has in the past, issued sound and, in my opinion, paramount advice for trading on FOMC days; please heed his warnings below:
FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.
if you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market.
