Consistency, Discipline, Expectations

FED raises rates by 75 basis points as widely expected.
market rallied pretty hard in similar fashion to the last FOMC (which was followed by a large sell off after….) Will be interesting to see market and price action during the last two trading days of the week.
On a different topic:
When was the last time you evaluated yourself when it comes to trading?
Are you consistent or do you change methodology every other week?
Are you discipline or as soon as you hit a large losing day you throw away all your rules out the window?
Are you realistic with your expectations or do you really expect to day trade and be profitable every single trading day?
These are just some questions/pointers to help you in this tough journey called trading.
More to follow in the next few blogs.
As always, plan your trade and trade your plan. Please contact your broker or Cannon Trading with any questions.

Rollover Notice + Futures Trading Levels for 6.10.2022

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

Large sell off today in stock index futures.

Tomorrow we have CPI which is a market moving event.
Also read below regarding rollover notice.

Rollover Notice for U.S. Stock Index and Currency Futures

Heads up traders! We’re approaching important dates on the trading calendar.
Rollover is here for stock indices. i.e., the E-mini and Micro S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones and Russell 2000.
I personally start trading SEPTEMBER this Monday when the volume on September is higher than the June.
  Volume in the June contracts will begin to drop off until their expiration next Friday, June 17th (8:30 A.M., Central Time). At that point, trading in these contracts halts. Stock index futures are CASH SETTLED contracts. If you hold any June futures contracts through 8:30 A.M., Central Time on Friday, June 17th, they will be offset with the cash settlement price, as set by the exchange.
 Monday, June 13th is Last Trading Day for June currency futures. It is of the utmost importance for currency traders to exit all June futures contracts by Friday, June 10 and to start trading the September futures. Currency futures are DELIVERABLE contracts. By holding any June futures contracts through the close of Last Trading Day, you will be subject to delivering (short positions) or taking delivery of (long positions) the full notional value of the futures contract. So, unless you’re sitting on 12,500,000 Japanese Yen to give to the exchange, exit that short position.
The month code for September is ‘U.’  Please consider carefully how you place orders when changing over.

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.

Stock Index futures were significantly lower today but bounced sharply off support levels, news sources cited “buy program” – I mentioned this to a client who asked me what the hell does it mean….
My speculation is that large institution had a “resting order” to buy at that levels, perhaps GTC order , perhaps new order but that was able to absorb all selling pressure and then price went higher, triggered more short covering, fueled intraday buying and helped an impressive intraday reversal.
Two big questions I have:
Am I correct?
What’s next?
My daily chart with some possible levels for what’s next below.
My speculation is as long as we can hold today’s lows, higher prices are path of least resistance.
Break below and it is a different ball game…..
I asked my colleague, John Thorpe for his feedback:
Why the buy programs? an over simplification is where we have been.. take a look at that low we got the bounce from.. and April 6th back in collegiate statistics 101 one of the first things we learn are the differences and applications of the Mean, the median and the mode… using the 4450 area this number satisfies the definition of the median and the mode if we begin taking our data points from the beginning of Q1 2021 for at least the last 6 months 4450 is the midpoint. it’s not that hard see why that is a critical area for the current market and potentially why, when the market got down to that level, Buy programs engaged. this is not to say this is a Fed put. what it does align with are the similarities between where the market was back on august , 31st 2021 and on the open 2 11 22. remember when the ES tested 4200 six times and successfully rallied? a close greater than 4500.00 is the goal and could be the springboard to a significantly higher move and, it may be possible there is a seasonal component too. all markets like to test and retest areas where they have been before. this is no different.

Key Points for Real Time Dow-Jones Futures Trading

Dow Jones Futures Blog

Dow-Jones In Real Time

Providing exposure to 30 of the largest companies in the U.S., the Dow-Jones futures market is directly correlated to the value of the Dow-Jones Industrial Average. Among the most liquid contracts on the exchange, the Dow futures are a favorite for all types of traders. Whether you are a scalper live streaming online, or you’re a position trader placing phone orders, the Dow futures are a diverse landscape with traders participating from all over the world.

Real time quotes are widely available across media outlets, trading platforms, and brokerages. The E-Mini Dow futures(YM) trade on the CBOT as part of the CME Group. Minimum tick size is one point with a value of $5.00 per point, per contract. The notional value of the E-Mini Dow contract can be calculated using the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average times $5. A smaller alternative, the E-Micro Dow(MYM) contract trades at one-tenth the format of the former, or $0.50 per tick.

The Dow-Jones Advantage

Dow-Jones futures offer competitive margin requirements and leverage, allowing responsible investors and traders the opportunity to hedge larger positions with less capital. For U.S. Traders, the IRS classifies broad based index futures such as the Dow Futures under the 60/40 rule which allows trading profits to be taxed at 60% the more favorable capital gains rate, and only 40% as ordinary income (Check with a CPA before trading.)

As an investment device, the Dow-Jones futures provide real time leveraged exposure to the index value, which promotes capital efficiency for investors and traders.  This means that skilled risk managers, like yourself, will no doubt find competitive and creative solutions to manage risk.

The Dow Jones Futures market is a competitive market for tools and platforms to trade with.  Hence, a plethora of options are available to both retail and professional traders. The Dow-Jones Futures are traded on by many brokerages, software, and platforms, with access to real time data quotes being provided from the exchange through several different data providers.

Dow Jones Futures Live Stream

The Dow-Jones futures market shares a strong correlation to the other U.S. Index futures such as the Nasdaq 100, S&P500, and Russell 2000 contracts. This means that the U.S. markets tend to reflect the movement of one another with additional correlations to the bond markets, currencies, and many other commodities such as gold, silver, etc. Notably, the futures trade nearly 24 hours a day through the week, from Sunday evening until Friday. It’s arguable that if you consider the ease of shorting, capital efficiency, etc. it makes futures a much more valuable tool than ETF’s. Additionally, also  available are the Dow Futures Options contracts which expire monthly. Be sure to understand your risks, and consult with your broker before trading.

Key Points of the Dow-Jones Futures Market

  • Dow-Jones Futures provide leveraged exposure to the DJIA for traders and investors. Take caution when you are approaching a leveraged environment, as the risks can be substantial.
  • Multiple Contract Sizes for different sized investors, traders, and strategies
    • E-Mini(YM) – $5 per point
    • E-Micro(MYM) – $10 per point
  • Profits are taxed more favorably at the 60/40 rate.
  • Trade nearly 24 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Energies and Equities Volatility & Support and Resistance Levels 1.20.2022

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

Be Watchful for Stock Market & Petroleum Product Oscillations

By Mark O’Brien
The prevailing downward bias in stock indexes has plenty of justification: a 1.4 million single-day case spike in infections last week, market expectations for up to four interest rate hikes this year, less-than-robust readings for last week’s initial jobless claims and retail sales, potential Russian military action against Ukraine, surging energy prices (crude oil traded up to a 7-year high yesterday).
Yet, there are supportive elements capable of counteracting the equity index sell-off of recent days: traders may look at this latest correction as sufficient to compensate for future Fed. policy actions, rate hike fears will tend to moderate with softening economic data. The latest Omicron developments continue to be encouraging. New Covid-19 cases are plummeting in a growing list of places. Since early last week, new cases in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey and New York have fallen by more than 30 percent. They’re down by more than 10 percent in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. In California, cases may have peaked. Acknowledging the tensions between Washington and Moscow, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will meet with his Russian counterpart on Friday and promised “relentless diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed aggression and to promote dialogue and peace.”
Crude oil traders should expect the recent price increase to be met with increased volatility as political tensions involving major producers such as the United Arab Emirates and aforementioned Russia could exacerbate the already tight supply outlook. Blow-off tops should not be downplayed.

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.
