By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

NonFarm Payrolls (NFP), only 38 earnings reports, 3 Fed Speakers

nfp

NFP

There will still be a few Economic data points released through January that had been meant for December, including PPI the second week in January. CPI will be released the 2^nd week as well. Of note for the data nerds out there, BLS says October CPI information was incomplete and therefor will never be included an any CPI data sets. NFP is up to date data.

The 38 earnings reports, of which I have highlighted a few below, are for quarters ending Nov. 30. The official earnings season typically begins after the 2^nd week following the end of the quarter. For this cycle, the week of January 19^th will be the Kickoff with Alcoa reporting after the close on the 22^nd. The House and Senate reconvene in D.C. on Tuesday.

We’ll see you next week! Please enjoy a safe and memorable weekend.

Great article to start your trading in 2026:

Walk before you run – Your 2026 Trading resolution?

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 traders?

One of the most prevalent misconceptions for inexperienced traders is that they believe themselves to be smarter than the rest of the market participants. They under estimate the qualifications and abilities of the rest of the futures markets professionals. This business of trading is dominated by very dedicated, resourceful professionals who have invested lots of time and assets into their pursuit of trading profits. Competing against these seasoned professionals is not impossible but going it alone, especially initially, is usually not the most prudent course of action for new 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 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 independently, why not do so after acquiring valuable experience and insight by working with a seasoned professional 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 futures 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 business. Why not take advantage of the help offered by an experienced professional? Help like this can shorten a new trader’s learning curve and reduce the cost of his or her tuition for this education.

It is true that not all 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 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 20 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. Make 2009 your best trading year possible.

Look out for NFP next Friday!

THERE IS NOT AN ACTUAL ACCOUNT TRADING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS. THESE ARE RISKY MARKETS AND ONLY RISK CAPITAL SHOULD BE USED. PAST PERFORMANCES ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

As for earnings reports? Next week we will see the numbers for 7 stocks as Q3 earnings reports are winding down.. all less than 280M in market cap as we close out 2025.

To our valued clients and fellow futures traders,

As we wrap up another year of charts, candles, and occasionally “interesting” market moves, all of us at Cannon Trading want to wish you a peaceful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

Thank you for trusting us to be by your side through trend days, range days, and everything in between. Whether your year felt like a smooth uptrend or a choppy sideways market, we appreciate the opportunity to help you navigate it.

Our holiday wish for you: tighter spreads, smoother fills, and more trades that hit their targets than their stops. And on the days the markets don’t cooperate, we hope you still find time to step away from the screens, recharge, and enjoy what matters most.

Here’s to a new year filled with discipline, good risk management, and opportunities worth trading.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for a successful year ahead,

The Cannon Trading Team

NFP X 2, Index Rollover, CPI X 2, Triple Witching Friday, 5 Fed Speakers

nfp

Rollover Week

Following the quarterly ritual, it’s time to roll from the December to the March 2026 Index contract. There is a noticeable shift in volume from the Dec. to March. Avoid liquidity traps and begin trading the March 2026 index contracts. Trading the S & P 500? If you are using a CQG Product and your current Symbol is EPZ25 on your DOM, please replace that with the new symbol, EPH26.

All other trading platforms are ESZ5 or ESZ25, change to ESH6 or ESH26 depending on the symbology you are using. (MES for the micros across all platforms, need the march symbol as well) NQ, MNQ, YM, MYM, RTY, M2K for the other main indices. You do not want to get caught in the cash settlement on Triple Witching Friday.

Economic Data reporting catching up but still behind.

NFP

Due to the recent government shutdown (ending November 12, 2025), many standard monthly reports (e.g., jobs, CPI, retail sales) for October and November had been delayed. Agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and Census Bureau are still finalizing revised schedules. What we know: Tuesday @ 7:30 am CST 2 months (Oct.-Nov.) of Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) will be released.

CPI

Thursday @ same time. 2 months (Oct.-Nov.) of Consumer Price Index (CPI) data will also be released. Expect violent price movements in the Indices, Metals, Currencies and perhaps energy markets as the reports will be released Pre-Market. Your positions should be managed well if you have open futures or short option positions.

I have included today, a file you have access to here about managing your risk using Stops, Options or both. If you are a serious trader I recommend downloading. You have plenty of time to create a plan as Monday’s session will allow you to implement your risk management plan.

As for earnings reports? Next week we will see the numbers for 53 stocks as Q3 earnings reports are winding down. Micron, Nike, Accenture and FEDEX top the list.

Expect continued volatility next week as the markets are sorting out the data morass.

We’ll see you next week! Please enjoy a safe and memorable weekend.

A Fed History Tutorial

fomc

The FRB December Rate decision looms:

Wednesday, the 10^th at 1 PM CST. Followed by Jerome Powell’s presser. I’ve been listening long enough to the financial new press about the “independence of the fed” and the open criticism applied By President Trump of fed funds rates not being reduced quick enough and the open criticism of Trump and his option as President to use the bully pulpit.

Historians will tell you it is somewhat difficult to determine how many Presidents over the years since the Fed was created, pressured the FED quietly.

A secret gathering that laid the groundwork for the federal reserve took place in November 1910, specifically from about November 20th to November 30th, at the Jekyll Island Club off the coast of Georgia. Convened by Senator Nelson Aldrich, powerful bankers and financial figures met to devise a plan to reform the U.S. banking system and prevent future financial panics, leading to the eventual Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

In 1912 Democrats won the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress. Even before his inauguration, President-elect Woodrow Wilson began encouraging congressional leaders to enact banking and currency reform. In March 1913 the Democratic Senate created its first Banking and Currency Committee.

On December 23, 1913, the Senate adopted the conference report to Create the FED by a vote of 43 to 25, with every Democrat present voting for the measure and all but four Republicans voting against it. (Twenty-seven senators were “paired” or chose not to vote.).

Well documented major cases

Most academic and historical discussions highlight at least the following presidents as having directly and personally challenged the Fed over interest rates:

Harry Truman (conflict with Chair Thomas McCabe over keeping rates low during the Korean War, leading to the 1951 Fed–Treasury Accord).
Lyndon B. Johnson (clash with Chair William McChesney Martin in 1965 over rate hikes during Vietnam War and Great Society spending).
Richard Nixon (pressure on Chair Arthur Burns to ease policy before the 1972 election, documented in White House tapes and archival research).
George H. W. Bush (complaints that Chair Alan Greenspan kept rates too high and did not cut fast enough after the 1990–91 recession, though Bush was relatively restrained in public).
Donald Trump (sustained, public attacks on Chair Jerome Powell for raising and then not cutting rates enough, calling the Fed a threat to the economy and questioning Powell’s job

With all the talk about Jerome Powell’s tenure ending, Jerome Powell will still have the January, March and April meetings to preside over as Chairman of the Fed.

Economic Data reporting catching up but still behind.

Due to the recent government shutdown (ending November 12, 2025), many standard monthly reports (e.g., jobs, CPI, retail sales) for October and possibly November have been delayed. Agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and Census Bureau are still finalizing revised schedules, with updates expected imminently. As of November 21, here is a calendar for Report Due dates from BLS, notes at the bottom will offer the deepest clarity since the appropriations shutdown. https://www.bls.gov/bls/2025-lapse-revised-release-dates.htm

As for earnings reports? Next week we will see the numbers for 88 stocks. Broadcom is the only mkt cap over 1T while Adobe and oracle round out tech Autozone, Costco and Lululemon will give us a deeper look into consumer spending

THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. Prior to purchasing or leasing a trading system from this or any other system vendor or investing in a trading system with a registered commodity trading representative, investors need to carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for them in light of their own specific financial condition. In some cases, futures accounts are subject to substantial charges for commission, management, incentive or advisory fees.

Futures Trading Disclaimer:

Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily “leveraged”. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

Important Notices: The Week Ahead

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

rate

The FRB December Rate decision looms:

The sudden swing in CME FedWatch Tool probabilities today largely stems from comments by John Williams, President of the New York Fed, which significantly shifted market expectations. Here’s a breakdown of what happened and why it moved the needle so sharply:

Williams said there was “room for further adjustment” in borrowing costs in the “near term,” implying he supports another rate cut. That’s meaningful because he’s a very influential Fed official. His tone revived hopes that the Fed will deliver a 25 bps cut in December.

The FedWatch Tool infers rate-cut probabilities from 30-day Fed Funds futures, which price in the market’s expectations for average daily Fed Funds rates

Why the Market Reacted So Sharply

Credibility of the Signal: A senior Fed official publicly signaling support for a cut is more powerful than second-tier commentary.
Current Economic Context: If markets were already leaning toward a cut (or at least had it on the table), Williams’s comments provided the conviction needed for traders to lean in more aggressively.
Liquidity & Positioning: Some traders may have been waiting on a dovish catalyst; once they Take a look at changes in the Probability from yesterday to today using the CME FedWatch tool: From a 39.1% probability yesterday to a 73.3% probability of a rate cut at the December 10^th

Economic Data reporting catching up but still behind.

As of November 21, here is a calendar for Report Due dates from BLS, notes at the bottom will offer the deepest clarity since the appropriations shutdown. https://www.bls.gov/bls/2025-lapse-revised-release-dates.htm

As for earnings reports? Next week we will see the numbers for over 200 stocks. Alibaba is the biggest mkt cap while Deere will report and give insight into the state of the farm economy.

What Market has been range bound and now breaking out? The longer the range trade the harder and faster the breakout becomes. Watch the Nat Gas as a breakout to the upside has been looming and ready to rock.

Expect continued volatility next week as the markets are sorting out the data morass.

February Live Cattle

February Live Cattle satisfied the first downside PriceCount objective off the expanded leg and October top. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade.

NFP? From September dropping next week. FOMC minutes, 14 Fed Speakers, NVIDIA reports.

Due to the recent government shutdown (ending November 12, 2025), many standard monthly reports (e.g., jobs, CPI, retail sales) for October and possibly November have been delayed. Agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and Census Bureau are still finalizing revised schedules, with updates expected imminently. As of November 14, only a limited number of reports are confirmed for next week. Delayed data may be released in batches, potentially including October figures, but exact timing remains fluid.

As for earnings reports? Next week we will see the numbers over 200 stocks.

Expect continued volatility next week as the markets have not been able to receive Gov’t data due to the ongoing, politician-imposed shutdown. Don’t be fooled, this is about politics NOT Policy.

Traders, much like the Federal Reserve Board, are dependent on data that, during a government shutdown is barely existent. 17 Fed speakers! The markets are sure to move then, but wait, that’s not all, Fed Chair Powell on Economic Outlook and Monetary Policy.

As for earnings reports? Q3 begins next week! Major Banks report first. (see Below)

The on again off again nature of Tariff news has created golden opportunities for breakouts in some markets, rangebound trades in others. The gold market exploded out of its range I have been writing about for months. Watch Crude oil to see if it stays in its $60.00-$65.00 range and the Dollar index too! The longer the range trade the harder and faster the breakout typically is.

Continued volatility to come as next week all markets will be reacting to whatever comes out of U.S. Govt leadership relating to conflicts cessation and trade deals, China, India, Canada and Russia (looks like the EU is following Trump on this one) The Crude Oil market certainly believes so.. Also, remember that Mexico’s extension will end October 29.
