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?

December Cotton satisfied its first upside PriceCount objective recently and corrected. At this point, if the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the second count would project a possible run to the 95.74 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.

 The Week ahead: Earnings Blowout! or Blow UP?

by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

With over 500 companies reporting earnings this week it is near the end of the reporting season. The market will focus Wednesday on the elephant in the room, Nvidia (NVDA Nasdaq).

The boom in Nvidia’s AI-focused business has increased more than 200% year to date, giving it a $1.1 trillion market valuation. Watch for the NQU23 to dance around in a range until AFTER Wednesday’s cash market close.

EPA Estimates are +$2.07 . future guidance will be big for the “internet Index” as AI has been leading the way and Nvidia is the leading GPU maker in the space.

BUT WAIT! that’s not all for the week,  it’s time for the Annual “Jackson Hole” conference, a 3 day meeting of top bankers and the FED.

Friday morning @ 10:00am CDT Jerome Powell will set the tone with a speech that could provide a case for the Feds next Fed Rate decision September 20-21st. This is an important meeting next month as it also sets projections by the FED members for GDP, Unemployment rate, Inflation for each year 2023,2024 and 2025.

Watch for increased volatility in the stock indices the last half of the week!

December soybean oil slowed its rally last months against the fall high and corrected. Now, the chart has recovered and is poised for another challenge of the fall and July highs. If we can break out to the upside with new sustained highs, we have a first upside PriceCount projection to the 68.51 area to aim for.

Rest of the Trading Week: What to Watch Out For + Trading Levels for August 3rd 2023

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

Rest of the Trading Week, by Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General:

 

The answer is: Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore and Australia.

The question is: name the remaining countries whose credit is rated AAA by all three ratings companies – S&P Global, Fitch and Moody’s – after Fitch downgraded the United States’ debt rating from its top-tier AAA, down to AA+.

 

Among the contributing factors leading to the downgrade, Fitch cited, “the expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, and the erosion of governance . . . that has manifested in repeated debt limit standoffs and last-minute resolutions.”

 

Remember in 2011, even though at that time a debt-limit deal was reached, S&P Global lowered the U.S.’s credit rating from AAA down to AA+ and it has not recovered since.

 

Canada is rated AAA by two of the ratings companies.

 

Stock Indexes:

 

Probably not surprisingly, as of this typing, stock indexes reacted negatively to the ratings news with the E-mini Dow Jones losing more than 300 points, roughly a 2% haircut. The E-mini Nasdaq is off ±325 points, a similar 2% correction.

 

Energy:

 

As the stock market foundered, crude oil felt weak in the knees as well and by mid-session, the September contract had sold off $3.00 per barrel from its Sunday opening. This despite today’s EIA crude oil stocks report showing a 17 million barrel reduction in U.S. crude stocks; the largest drop in inventories since 1982.

 

Grains:

 

After trading within 13 cents of its April 2022 highs last week, November soybeans factored in an expected conga line of wet weather fronts moving broadly over the U.S. Midwest and sold off ±$1.00 down to ±$13.25/bushel, a $5,000 per contract move, the bulk of which comprised just three trading sessions. Estimates for this year’s crop are a virtual wild card given the approach of August, its most critical growing period, so expect volatile price movement throughout.

 

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.  You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.

Trading Week Ahead: What to Watch Out For + Trading Levels for August 1st 2023

The Week Ahead, by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

“Non Farm Payrolls and may the good Earnings continue.”

For roughly the half way mark in this earnings season, believe it or not, earnings are following expectations and declining for the third straight quarter.

Let me say that again, AS EXPECTED, earnings are declining for the third straight quarter. As expected, according to FACTSET the largest quarterly earnings decline since Q2 2020 is @ -7.3% projected this quarter for all combined reports. But Wait! the indices are high fliers? !! for the year the Nasdaq is up 36%, the S&P is up 20% and the Dow is up nearly 7%.

Why? The economic data continues to surprise to the upside, When Bad is not as bad as expectations”? and after street pundits have been calling for a recession over the past 18 months and the Labor market still characterized as “tight” by Fed Chair Powell last week we have a dichotomy in Fiction vs Fact that is driving prices higher as a “softlanding” with perhaps nary a recession will result from all the fed tightening when the Fed Board declares inflation whipped is gaining traction with some economists.

The tight labor market is keeping the recession from creeping into our economy,  BTW earnings expectations have been largely muted and the bar substantially lowered however, earnings so far, even though the lowest since Q@ 2020, have exceeded analysts expectations over 80% of the time this quarter.

This week AMD, CAT PFEW SBUX report after the close on Tuesday. AAPL and AMZN report Thursday after the close.

On the Economic Data front the biggest reports are employment based, JOLTS 9AM CDT Tuesday, ADP 7:15 CDT Wednesday, Jobless Claims at 7:30 am CDT and the big Monthly NonFarm Payrols on Friday @ 7:30 CDT

 

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.  You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.

November Beans Extended the rally above $14 when the chart is attacking overhead and the December High ($14.27 )and last Springs contract High ($14.48). New sustained highs above these levels would open the top side for a possible run to the low percentage fourth upside PriceCount objective near the 15.82 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

Highlights, Announcements  by Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General: 

 

Forecasts for the U.S. economy continue to reduce the chances of recession – or if one arrives its lower severity – as readings for reports like the Consumer & Producer Price Indexes and Personal Consumption continue to show inflation is coming under control.  At the same time, fear has dissipated that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies will destabilize the business climate, particularly as it related to employment and hiring, albeit having cooled somewhat last month.  Signs indeed point to the FOMC taking more of a wait-and-see stance in its upcoming meetings than the sense of tenacity it shown in raising rates eleven consecutive times ending in May.  In the background, the U.S. dollar has drifted south giving exports a boost.

 

Agricultural: 

 

Orange Juice futures (basis Sept.) traded to new all-time highs this week on the heels of Tuesday’s USDA crop report showing the U.S. orange crop’s 23% decline from last year and the smallest since 1937.  As of this typing prices touched $2.9155 per pound intraday (contract size: 15,000 pounds).  This is a substantial 90-cent price increase for the year, including a ±40-cent/$6,000 per contract move up in price this month alone.

 

 

The extreme heat across parts of the U.S., including low triple-digit temperatures forecast in key soybean and corn production areas next week have further threatened this year’s already stressed crops.  In addition, grain supply disruptions related to the war in Ukraine are adding pressure on global grain supplies.  Soybean futures (basis August) remain near their contract highs close to $15.00 per bushel and corn futures (basis September) have climbed back above $5.50 per bushel intraday today and yesterday, half-way back to its mid-June highs near $6.25 per bushel.

 

Financial: 

 

What a run for stock index futures the last two weeks.  Prior to what looks like a meaningful down day today, the Dow Jones cash market had risen seven consecutive days – since Mon. July 10 – its longest winning streak since March 2021.  The Sept. YM futures contract made a similar move: up ±1450 points from its closing price of Friday July 7 to Wednesday’s intraday high.  That’s a $7,250 per contract move.  The ES made a similar ±8,500 per contract move and the NQ made an impressive ±$17,100 move.

Trading Levels for July 18th – Earnings Season in Full Effect

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

The Week Ahead by John Thorpe, Senior Broker:

Govt Reports, Earnings and the Fed Blackout period.

On the close of Business June 16th the S&P was at 4453.00, today we have a hi as of this writing, with 3.5 more hours to go in the session, of 4553.50 Up 100 points and of course, not in a straight line.

This does illustrate a continued bullish undertone. S&P + .022%, The NQ is up .035% and the broadest market index, the Russell index, the winner over this time period, up .041% .

This brings us to a number of questions: can the rally that begin in March continue through the summer? What factors is the market watching for clues and direction?

This week the most meaningful economic numbers to be released should be the June data on retail and food services sales at 7:30am CT on Tuesday. Inflation expectations are overall well-anchored, if at levels a bit above where they were before the current episode began in 2021.

Earnings season has arrived. Last week the JPM and C released their numbers,  This week the Regional Banks will start reporting results in addition to B of A, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, the Tech and consumer stocks the market will be very interested with are Tesla and Netflix. United Airlines reports as well.

Expectations are certainly muted from a year ago, and the lowered expectations have already been inserted on the game board by most analysts and ratings firms. Therefore, any good news should have a positive impact on the indices continued grind higher.

Of note this week is the Fed Black out period in advance of the July 25-26 meeting where traders are currently expecting another .25 rate hike after the last sessions pause.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

  • Trading Resource of the Week – : Rectangle Trading Pattern

By Joe Easton, Senior Broker
Formation:
  •    This pattern is defined as price coming into a tight range between support and resistance
  •    This pattern is a continuation pattern. If the trend was up it will continue up and down it will continue down
  • Typically, volume is lower through this period of consolidation.

In the examples above the range is creating a rectangle pattern in an uptrend. Ideally this pattern breaks higher without breaking lower support. If lower support is broken this pattern would no longer be a rectangle.
How to Trade:
The ideal entry is toward the bottom of the rectangle support. If entered on this line your stop should be below support. Price should bounce off support 2 to 3 times to be confident support is present.
The more conservative entry would be when the resistance in the rectangle is broken. This can happen very quickly and needs to be timed more accurately. The lower support line then becomes your stop. You could also make the resistance line become your stop.
When price breaks out you can measure the width of rectangle and project the price to move from the breakout that same distance at a minimum.
Summary:
Rectangles patterns exist in low volume consolidation in both uptrends and downtrends. Price corrects in two ways, time and price. This would classify more as a time correction considering price stays relatively consistent. Once price closes above the resistance you can expect the price to not retrace back into the rectangle. If there is a false breakout, the continuation is less likely to occur. Generally, if you are able to spot a rectangle you can expect the price trend to continue.
Important: Trading commodity futures and options involves a substantial risk of loss.

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
