Today’s big mover was gold. While we had big moves in many markets, currencies getting weaker against the dollar, energies lower, stock indices lower, it was the metals lead by gold which experienced some of the bigger % moves.

First it was Greece, now Italy who helped send the market sharply lower.

Outlook for stock indices does not look good from technical standpoint but in today’s blog I actually wanted to share the daily chart for the gold market. (see below)

Futures Trading Levels and Mental Tips for October 29th 2010

Posted on by Ilan

To be honest I don’t have any feel for the medium term outlook of stock indices.

I do like some of the intraday set ups we get in different markets such as Crude, Euro and the Mini SP.

We do have some reports tomorrow and it is the last trading day of the month so we should see some interesting price action.

As far as “mental tip”: keep reminding yourself that the hardest battle for a trader is waiting, patience and fighting ones own demons that normally appear when losing trades happen. Try to be among the tough ones who can control the negative emotions losing trades bring out and your trading will progress.

Commodity Trading Levels for October 5th 2010

Posted on by Ilan

Not an easy market to read right now in my opinion.

It is showing signs like it would like to visit some lower levels, yet there is enough buying interest to keep it above 1127.

This Friday monthly unemployment levels will be watched closely.
If the market breaks below 1127, it has a chance of picking some more speed to the downside.
On the flip side, bulls will need to see new highs in order to get back in control of price action.
Daily chart with some price levels to watch for your review below:

At any time traders, especially self directed futures traders, must be aware of first notice day, last trading, economic reports etc.

Tomorrow is first notice day for August Gold futures contract – As your futures and commodity broker we try our best to keep many of you informed via this daily blog but always make sure you contact your futures broker with any questions you may have.

Daily chart of September e-mini Dow Jones below for review. I am not sure about direction to be honest. Both bulls and bears have a case and at this point we are trading in a band between 10293 and 10536, which is a wide trading range.
