Hello Traders,

Hello Traders,

Tomorrow ( Friday June 15th) is quadrupole witching day. Stock options, futures, futures options and single stock futures ALL expire.

Below is from a colleague of a colleague….

Expiration – comments ahead of this Fri from JPMorgan’s Marko Kolanovic – with key Greek elections coming this weekend, investors are closely looking for signs of stress in Europe and reviewing their tail hedging strategies.  $610bn of S&P 500 monthly options are expiring this Friday, making it the biggest S&P 500 options expiration year to date.  As these options don’t cover the election date, investors are rolling hedges into quarter-end, July and September expiry S&P 500 options. In addition, the open interest in VIX call options reached all time highs today (notional exposure of $430m per 1 VIX point).  Put-call gamma imbalance is still very high (~$12bn per 1%).  High level of put-call gamma imbalance means that investors hold option hedges and dealers are likely short these options and hence short S&P 500 gamma.  Short gamma exposure of dealers could fuel market volatility and increase the risk of a sharp selloff, should the macro fundamentals significantly worsen.

ALSO June currencies are about to enter delivery stage, which can be costly. I highly recommend starting to trade September currencies as of Friday morning .

Be disciplined, be patient and trade well!

Trading Levels & Reports for June 14th – SP500 Trading in a Range

5. Economic Reports for Thursday June 14, 2012

Hello Traders,

First off heads up on some contract months changes:

1. Front month for stock indices, financials and many other markets is September.

2. June mini SP, mini NASDAQ, Russell, Dow etc. will expire Friday morning right before the open, so make sure you start trading September if you have not already done so!

3. June currencies are about to enter delivery stage, which can be costly. I highly recommend starting to trade September currencies as of Friday morning .

As far market direction, SP 500 still looks to be locked in between 1297 – 1342. My guess is that which ever way we going to break first will have chance for momentum continuation.

Be disciplined, be patient and trade well!

5. Economic Reports for Tuesday June 12, 2012

Hello Traders,

Stock index futures pretty much gave up all their gain from Friday session and finished today on a bearish note.

The question is whats ahead for stock index futures and in the case of the chart below, the mini SP 500?

My opinion is that the fundamental news, which are coming out, mostly news from Europe will have importance. Most traders are technical by nature, i.e they make decisions based on chart formations. I fall into this category myself BUT it is important to be aware of economic reports times and different news affecting the markets you trade.

In the case of the mini SP 500 chart seen below, I see both open interest and volume rising while the trend strength is low in this case. Meaning the down trend that developed over last few weeks on the daily chart is not as a strong. That suggests more price action like we have seen over the past few sessions, strong days up, followed by strong days down etc.
My reading is that an hourly close below 1298 level, can trigger the next leg down.
