Big NFP / unemployment report tomorrow an hour before the stock market opens.

This is a market moving report and indices, bonds, currencies, metals and other markets will see some large swings.

I personally like to be out before the report, wait a few minutes for the zig zag to relax and then look to re-enter.

Intraday day chart of the NQ from last month below for your review! Dec. 8th NFP report.

Over 100 points move in less than a minute!! that is approx. $2,000 per one contract of the NQ ( against you or in your favor…)

FOMC Rate Decision Tomorrow +Futures Trading Levels 12.13.2023

March is front month for stock indices.

Symbol for March is H, so example ESH24

 

FOMC Rate decision tomorrow.

The following are my PERSONAL OPINION 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 4425.00 with a stop at 4419.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 4419.75 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.
  • Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
  • The rate announcement comes out exactly at 1 PM central. As of this morning there is a 98% chance of no change in rates.
  • Traders will pay EXTRA attention to the language and the Q&A which starts at 1:30 PM Central

 

  • Be patient and be disciplined

 

  • If in doubt, stay out!!

Mini SP ( March contract) one possible outlook is below using the daily chart and QT Market Center platform.

  • Trading Resource of the Week 

Get An Edge With the Trading Psychology Course
Many experienced traders say that the stiffest challenge you’ll face in becoming a futures trader is conquering your own psyche. Why? Because losing is part of trading, and people hate to lose.
In this “Trading Psychology” Course you will learn:
  • How to examine your patterns and behaviors and recognize when they are holding you back
  • Maintaining self-confidence as a trader even in the face of inexperience
  • The mathematical expectation model and how it can decrease your losses
  • Determining the trading plan that is right for your trading personality
  • Understanding and using Motivation – Risk – Reward to its full advantage
  • Creating effective trading technique strategies
  • Qualities of Successful Traders
  • Hot Market of the Week – March Corn Wheat Spread

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.
The March WheatCorn spread accelerated to its third upside PriceCount objective to the $1.52 area and is consolidating its trade. At this point, IF the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, we are left with the low percentage fourth count to aim for around $2.27 which would be consistent with a challenge of the summer high.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
March Wheat - Corn Spread Chart
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.

This is a market moving event right at 7:30 Am central that in the past generated some large and volatile moves.

I personally like to be flat 2 minutes before and resume trading a few minutes after the report is out.

If you have notes from previous NFP, now is the time to review…if you don’t have notes, time to start a trading journal and keep notes in it!

Updates and Bullet Points:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General: 

 

While the Federal Reserve and its main voice Jerome Powell have been steadfast in declaring that interest rates would not be coming down unless the FOMC saw broad definitive proof that inflation was falling, traders have been pricing in that eventuality since the end of October. In just the last three weeks, the E-mini S&P 500 climbed out of correction territory and the yield on the 10-year T-note slid from the 5.00% it touched prior to the last Fed meeting down to 4.30% overnight. Never mind the CME Fed watch tool pegs the potential for a 25-basis points rate cut at the Fed’s December 13th meeting at a slim 1.1% and at 3.1% at their January 31st meeting. What likely has traders’ attention: the Fed Funds futures contract sees the probability of a 25-basis point cut at the March 20th Fed meeting at 40.6%. Don’t count on to begin to telegraph any sort of pivot until the Fed deems any signs of slowing growth as entrenched and that should take some time. The Fed will turn a cold shoulder to making quick moves as they do not want to reignite the inflation fire before it is extinguished.

 

Currency:

 

As the conversation shifts from rate hikes to cuts, the U.S. dollar is on track to hit its lowest level in months.

 

Metals:

 

In the scenario that the dollar and treasury yields continue to fall, look for precious metals like gold and silver to continue their ascent. Gold has already climbed over $200 per ounce in less than two months, from its October 5th close at $1850.80 / ounce to its second day closing above $2050 / ounce yesterday and today (basis February) – a ±$20,000 per contract move for the standard 100-oz. futures contract.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Is the FED Done Raising rates? + Futures Trading Levels for Nov. 16th

Updates and Bullet Points:

 

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General:

 

Here in the United States yesterday, stock index futures vaulted on the heels of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ release of its Consumer Price Index for October, which slowed to 3.2 percent last month on a year-over-year basis, lower than the 3.7 percent reading in September and the coolest since July.  Leading the way was the Russell 2000 which climbed ±95 points, $4750 per contract move for the E-mini Russell 2000 futures contract, over a 5% uptick.  Compare that to the ±86-point / $4,325 per contract move up for the E-mini S&P 500, or the ±335-point / ±$6,700 move for the E-mini Nasdaq.

 

Investors undoubtedly anticipated the likely end to the Federal Reserve’s historical rate hike cycle and this was followed by a wave of lower CPI data from Europe when the following day (our Tuesday night) Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy all reported below-estimate consumer price readings and well below last month’s as prices abroad continued to decelerate.

 

In other news, President Biden and China’s President Xi will meet south of San Francisco during afternoon US trading hours.

 

In a development attributed to El Niño and possibly a catalyst to rising commodities prices, Central America is experiencing drought conditions so acute, the freshwater lakes associated with the Panama Canal have declined to such low levels, it’s resulted in one of the world’s largest shipping corridors having to reduce vessel traffic.  The canal sees about 5% of the world’s seaborne trade travel through it and is critical for transporting commodities with petroleum, liquefied natural gas and grains among the top shipments that pass through the waterway.  Ships are now spending weeks waiting at sea, sailing around South America or the tip of Africa, or paying exorbitant amounts to jump to the front of the line.  Last week, a Japanese global petroleum and metals conglomerate paid a record $3.975 million in an auction for preferential line placement for one of its ships.

 

In a Reuters piece earlier this week, the news wire reported that Goldman Sachs is forecasting returns of 21% on commodities over a 12-month horizon, using as its basis the S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI), including gains of ±31% from energy and ±18% from industrial metals.  Currently, the GSCI contains 24 commodities from all commodity sectors: six energy products, five industrial metals, eight agricultural products, three livestock products and two precious metals.

New Micro Nat Gas, Crude Oil Chart + Futures Trading Levels for Nov. 9th 2023

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

Updates and Bullet Points:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General: 

We have a new futures contract.  It started trading on Monday.  This is the Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas futures contract and corresponding options.

 

To quote directly from the CME Group web site, “The introduction of Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas futures and options responds directly to customer demand for a smaller, more precise instrument for managing natural gas price exposure. At one-tenth the size of the benchmark Henry Hub (NG) contract, Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas futures and options offer more granularity and smaller margin requirements with the same robust transparency and price discovery of the larger Henry Hub contracts.”

 

Follow the link below to the contract’s full contract specifications on the CME Group web site:

Heads up: most FCM’s / clearing firms, including the five FCM’s Cannon Trading Co. partners with, will monitor a new futures contract for sufficient liquidity before making it available to its clients.  Give Cannon Trading a call to find out the availability of the contract.

 

Energy: 

Incidentally, natural gas (basis Dec.) dropped ±50 cents (a ±$5,000 move) over the last six trading sessions to ±$3.10 /mmBtu. down to new 2-year lows on forecasts for above-normal temps. across the U.S. for the next fifteen days and continental U.S. production remaining near all-time highs,”

 

Financials: 

Stock index futures are struggling today to extend their longest winning streak in two years – clocking seven straight daily gains – as we approach the close of trading.  At this typing, the E-mini S&P 500 is trading just a few ticks either side of unchanged, while the E-mini Dow Jones and E-mini Nasdaq are slightly off.

 

More energy: 

Crude oil extended its more than 2-week sell-off to its lowest level in over three months.  From an intraday high of $89.85 per barrel on Oct. 20, the front month traded through $75.00 per barrel this morning – a ±$15.00 per barrel / $15,000 per contract move.

 

DAILY CHART BELOW

 

News pushing prices south include global demand worries, record U.S. production and ebbing supply concerns surrounding the Gaza conflict.

 

Given its ability to create a ripple effect, the ±15% price decline dragged U.S. pump prices down to levels not seen since March.  It has also helped rein in inflation expectations and worrisome bond yields.

 

While this paints a picture that fears are subsiding that a wider conflict could be emerging in the Middle East and disrupt supplies, traders should remain on high alert for signs to the contrary.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.
