NFP Report, Event Contracts + Futures Trading Levels for 02.02.24
Posted By:- Ilan Levy-Mayer Vice President, Cannon Trading Futures Blog
Big NFP / unemployment report tomorrow an hour before the stock market opens.
This is a market moving report and indices, bonds, currencies, metals and other markets will see some large swings.
I personally like to be out before the report, wait a few minutes for the zig zag to relax and then look to re-enter.
On different note:
Upgrades to the event contract suite offer more opportunities for you to trade your market views.
The size of an event contract is increasing to $100
Updated sizes align more closely to the probability of a trade’s success. For example, if the price of a position is $65 there’s approximately 65% probability that this event will occur.
Introducing longer-dated expiries
Add quarter- and year-end event contracts on E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures to your portfolio. With the addition of more expiries, place your long-term prediction on the Equity Index futures markets.
What are event contracts?
With event contracts, you can express your views on whether the markets will close above a certain price by choosing a “yes” or a “no” prediction. These contracts offer an intuitive, limited-risk way to trade 11 of the world’s most important futures markets.
