Category: Indices

A plural of indexes, indices is a term often used in the markets. There are different indexes or indices in the markets and these don’t always move up or down in coordination. Indexed moving in tandem would create redundancy meaning that we don’t need more than one of them.

The Dow and the S&P500 are two extremely noteworthy as well as popular indices. While a change in the Dow indicated that the expectations of the investors have changed with regard to the risks and earnings of large companies, the S&P500 features 500 of the most highly traded stocks in the U.S.

Each index is different from another and each one behaves differently. You won’t find any one index that has continued to look the same over the years. Moreover, every index depicts a different thing. You can gain a deeper understanding into the world of indices.

We at Cannon Trading help you by providing the latest information on indices and their market performance. You can read it all here under one archive tagged as Indices. Read and be informed.

  • Trading Resource of the Week – How to Rollover using E-Futures
  • Hot Market of the Week – May Copper
  • Broker’s Trading System of the Week

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 June this Monday when the volume on June is higher than the March.
  Volume in the March contracts will begin to drop off until their expiration next Friday, March 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 March futures contracts through 8:30 A.M., Central Time on March 17th, they will be offset with the cash settlement price, as set by the exchange.
 Monday, March 13th is Last Trading Day for March currency futures. It is of the utmost importance for currency traders to exit all March futures contracts by Friday, March 10th and to start trading the June futures. Currency futures are DELIVERABLE contracts.
The month code for June is ‘M.’  Please consider carefully how you place orders when changing over.

PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
May Copper: May copper satisfied its first upside PriceCount objective and developed a sideway consolidation trade. If the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the second count would project a run to the 4.60 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.

What to Expect the Last Two Trading Days of the Week

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General: albeit the eighth straight interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve since last March, today’s 25-basis point increase was the smallest move of the streak – with its target range now set to 4.5 – 4.75 percent. In its policy statement, Central Bank officials signaled that while “inflation has eased somewhat,” the fight against inflation has not come to an end and that the Fed “will stay the course until the job is done.” Translation: more hikes are on the way.

 

Yesterday, the International Monetary Fund raised its 2023 global growth outlook slightly, from their last projected contraction to 2.9% form 2022, to a slightly less discouraging 2.7%. They pointed to “surprisingly resilient” demand in the United States and Europe, an easing of energy costs and the reopening of China’s economy after Beijing abandoned its strict COVID-19 restrictions.

 

Tomorrow the European Central Bank will meet to determine their own next move in that region’s battle against inflation. They’re almost certain to notch rates up another 50 basis points up to 2.5 percent on their deposit facility, as it’s termed. And similar to the attention paid to Fed chair Jerome Powell’s words, all ears will be honed in on ECB President Christine Lagarde’s communications on the central bank’s guidance and future decisions.

 

All this is taking place amidst the backdrop of slight improvements in U.S. and Chinese economic expectations. One could make the case that the green shoots indicating signs of improvement for the economy mentioned in the Jan. 18 blog at the very least haven’t withered.

 

And speaking of not withering, while the outlook for the South American soybean crop remains a concern, traders have started removing the weather premium from prices.

 

This could contribute to an asset-wide decline in volatility and leave markets prone to trending – up or down.

A Cannon broker will be able to assist, provide feedback and answer any questions.

      • Make 2023 Your Best Trading Year Yet – Walk before you run

        By Cannon Trading staff
The image of a successful futures trader is that of a lone wolf surveying the landscape looking for an opportunity to attack and seize quick and substantial profits. We all know about the potential for making a fortune in the futures markets. Yet, few do so. Why is that? What are some of the common pitfalls that prevent this dream from becoming a reality for most futures traders?
One of the most prevalent misconceptions for inexperienced futures traders is that they believe themselves to be smarter than the rest of the commodities market participants. They underestimate the qualifications and abilities of the rest of the futures markets professionals. This business of commodities trading is dominated by very dedicated, resourceful professionals who have invested lots of time and assets into their pursuit of trading futures profits. Competing against these seasoned professionals is not impossible but going at it alone, especially initially, is usually not the most prudent course of action for new futures traders.
When we were children, we learned to walk before we learned to run. This is true for most of our life experiences. We played t-ball before we played baseball. We took lessons from Arthur Murray before we entered dance competitions. We watched cooking shows or read cookbooks before we attempted to deep fry our first turkey. So, why do so many novice futures traders think that they should enter into the world of futures trading without the support of an experienced futures broker? Why, armed with their computers and quote systems do they think that they are equipped to go it alone and be successful? It isn’t logical. It goes counter to our collective life experiences.
If your goal is to trade futures/commodities independently, why not do so after acquiring valuable experience and insight by working with a seasoned professional futures broker? Someone who is already fully engaged in the futures markets. Why not begin by using a mentor, a teacher, an advisor who can supply ideas, guidelines, disciplines, and insights that the novice trader could not otherwise be exposed to? We all learned to drive with the help of an instructor, why not approach the commodities markets in a similar fashion? Your hard-earned capital is at stake. Getting an education can be a very expensive process, especially in the futures trading business. Why not take advantage of the help offered by an experienced professional? Help like this can shorten a new futures trader’s learning curve and reduce the cost of his or her tuition for this education.
It is true that not all commodities brokers are quality teachers or mentors. The futures trader must choose his or her mentor carefully….just as one does when choosing a lawyer, doctor, or accountant. The futures brokers at Cannon Trading as a group are among the finest professionals that you will find anywhere in the futures trading world. The management at Cannon Trading has chosen these brokers prudently and after much scrutiny. This is evidenced by the impressive record of professional business conduct for the past 30 years by Cannon’s brokers. This record can be reviewed by going to www.nfa.futures.org ( the National Futures Association) website and comparing Cannon Trading versus other futures brokerage firms. You will be impressed.
Professional athletes use sports psychologists. Boxers use corner men. Graduate students study under the guidance of their professors. Professional singers utilize vocal coaches. Shouldn’t you as a futures trader avail yourself of the same sort of support that successful people in all of these endeavors use? Take full advantage of all of the tools available to you in your quest for trading profits.

FOMC Tomorrow! + Trading levels for 12.14.2022

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

ROLL to MARCH 2023 equity contracts as we are seeing more volume in the March Contracts than in the December ones the symbol for March is H so a micro e-mini S&P contract will be MESH23. Thursday we get Jobless claims, Retail sales and Industrial production.

 

Tomorrow we have FOMC

The following are my PERSONAL suggestions 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 3925.00 with a stop at 3919.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 3919.75 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.

·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.

·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues

·    Be patient and be disciplined

·    If in doubt, stay out!!

This morning at 7:30 A.M., Central Time / 5:30 A.M., Pacific Time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its Consumer Price Index Report, which measures the prices paid by consumers for a basket of consumer goods and services.  Instantly, stock index futures experienced EXTREME volatility.  The E-mini $5 Dow Jones futures contract (YMZ22) jumped ±500 points (a ±$2,600 per contract move) in less than 10 seconds. The E-mini S&P 500 futures contract (ESZ22) jumped ±100 points (a ±$5,000 per contract move) within that same short span of time.

What happened?  We wrote about this topic in detail a few weeks ago.  Read More!

If you are a day trader, make sure to check your calendar for when these important reports will occur.  Not being prepared may result in severely consequential results for your trades and your account.

Check out the 10-second chart below showing today’s market movement.

Also tomorrow is Veteran’s Day.   While banks are closed, the futures markets will be open regular hours.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Pay Attention to the Road Signs While Trading + Trading Levels 10.27.2022

Pay Attention to the Road Signs…..

by Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

Please be aware of the potential for the market you’re trading to react suddenly and forcefully in terms of price change. The most common catalyst is one typically staring right at you on your calendar of government and private reports. “Core” economic reports likely take center stage for stock indexes and treasuries. Currently that list includes measurements on the U.S. employment rate, inflation (CPI, PPI) business and consumer confidence and the like. Markets closely tied to the global economy like crude oil and its products, precious metals (gold & silver), industrial metals (copper, platinum) and currencies also react to U.S. reports. The U.S. is well on through its grain harvesting season when regional yields are being closely monitored and compiled to produce the totals that will be combined with the rest of the world’s production. At the same time, important southern hemisphere crops – particularly in South America – are just developing and estimates on their contribution to the world’s grain demands are being watched by the “big three” futures contracts on the CBOT: corn, wheat and soybeans.

Last but not least, earnings…..take a look at what happened yesterday on the NQ and MNQ right at the close of the cash market in stocks ( below is a 10 seconds chart – yes, TEN SECONDS…):

The above chart is an example of mostly “good signals”. Like any other concept, this model has “failed signals” as well and it is always MUCH easier to explain and review any method looking back after the fact then when one is trading live money in real time. Please read disclaimer below as it is VERY appropriate.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NO INVOLVE FINACIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETLEY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
