On Friday, Omicron, the new COVID-19 variant took the oxygen out of newsrooms. Detected first in South Africa, this mutation is being described as potentially more contagious than the Delta variant. It is unknown whether the currently available vaccines will provide protection from it.
On Monday the markets shrugged the news and bounced hard….
Today, Tuesday fear, greed and everything in between took over again and we witnessed strong sell off across different markets with high volatility in many segments:
Stock indices, rates, grains, softs, energies…..
See 30 minute chart of the Mini NASDAQ from today below. In less than one hour, the difference from high to low was approximately $7750!! That is extreme leverage and can be a double edge sword…..This is when possibly trading smaller size, like 1-2 MICRO NQ may be a better fit for smaller accounts.
  1. Learn to reduce trading size. Perhaps trade smaller contracts like the micros.
  2. Adjust stops and entries based on volatility ( ATR/ Parabolics).
  3. Be extra picky on entries without chasing trades.
  4. Understand that loses are part of trading and this is definitely not a good time to “fight the markets”.
  5. Focus more on risk management and ways to protect certain positions as needed. Survive to trade another day.
  6. Consider possibly utilizing short term options rather than futures.

Micro Mini NQ Chart Review / Fibonacci Extensions; Thanksgiving Holiday Schedule & Support and Resistance Levels 11.24.2021

An exercise in Fibonacci extensions….

As the NQ started moving lower today ( I actually prefer the MNQ as it causes less stomach ache when moves against me….), I was looking for a target profit on a short position a client of mine had.
I draw FIB extension for yesterday sell off move and applied it to the high on the bounce made early this morning….Today it turned out out to be an excellent tool (click for LARGER IMAGE)….gave me targets, possible trailing stops, possible re-entry and more ( always easier looking back after the fact)….Of course there are many times where this will NOT work but you may want to take a look at Fibonacci extensions as another tool in your arsenal and just Fibonacci retracement….

Hello Traders,

For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

 

FRONT MONTH for stock index futures and currencies is now SEPTEMBER.

Make sure you are trading the September contract.

I was asked this morning, “what futures markets would you recommend a newcomer to start with?”

 

While the answer will vary based on perspective trader risk capital, risk tolerance, personality etc. I do think that there are a few markets that might be a better start for first time futures day trader.

 

I personally would say, leave the mini SP alone. Yes it has the biggest volume but there is quite a bit of size on the bid/ask that may make this frustrating for new traders.

My favorite markets to share with first time traders are:

 

mini Dow

ten year notes

and

mini crude/ mini gold

 

The mini Dow moves similar to mini SP but the value per point/tick is smaller, still has good volume but not as hard to get filled on the limits as the mini SP.

 

The 10 year notes are usually less volatile than the other markets mentioned. Completely different type of trading personality and offer a good diversification option for new traders and experienced traders and they trade in halves, so each tick is $15.625 versus each tick of the 30 years which is worth $31.25.

 

The mini gold and mini crude are another good option because it is the smaller contract size of two markets that can really move, offer volatility and RISK but the availability of the mini sized contracts make these two a better option for beginners until one has experience / risk capital and appetite for the standard contract sizes of gold and crude oil.

Hello Traders,

Patience, discipline and ability to accept losses are some of the biggest keys for any trading, especially for day-trading.

Write your rules down, post them on the computer and make a conscious effort to follow them. I know when I follow my own rules, it helps me and sometimes the biggest battle is just staying disciplined.
