Cannon Futures Weekly Newsletter Issue # 1137

 

Join our private Facebook group for additional insight into trading and the futures markets!

In this issue:

  • Important Notices – Rollover Notice
  • Trading Resource of the Week – How to Rollover using E-Futures
  • Hot Market of the Week – May Copper
  • Broker’s Trading System of the Week
  • Trading Levels for Next Week
  • Trading Reports for Next Week

 

  • Important Notices – Rollover

Rollover is here for stock indices. i.e., the E-mini and Micro S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones and Russell 2000.
I personally start trading June this Monday when the volume on June is higher than the March.
  Volume in the March contracts will begin to drop off until their expiration next Friday, March 17th (8:30 A.M., Central Time). At that point, trading in these contracts halts. Stock index futures are CASH SETTLED contracts. If you hold any March futures contracts through 8:30 A.M., Central Time on March 17th, they will be offset with the cash settlement price, as set by the exchange.
 Monday, March 13th is Last Trading Day for March currency futures. It is of the utmost importance for currency traders to exit all March futures contracts by Friday, March 10th and to start trading the June futures. Currency futures are DELIVERABLE contracts.
The month code for June is ‘M.’  Please consider carefully how you place orders when changing over.

Hot market of the week is provided by QT Market Center, A swiss army knife charting package that’s not just for Hedgers, Cooperatives and Farmers alike but also for Spread traders, Swing traders and shorter time frame application for intraday traders with a unique proprietary indicator that can be applied to your specific trading needs.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
May Copper: May copper satisfied its first upside PriceCount objective and developed a sideway consolidation trade. If the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the second count would project a run to the 4.60 area.
The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com
Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.
With algorithmic trading systems becoming more prevalent in portfolio diversification, the following system has been selected as the broker’s choice for this month.

The performance shown above is hypothetical in that the chart represents returns in a model account. The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real‐time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on back adjusted data. Please read full disclaimer HERE.

Weekly Newsletter: Cattle Outlook, Reduced Micro Bitcoin fees + Levels for March 6th

Trading Updates:

The CME fee schedule effective March 1, 2023 has been added on the CME Group fee page.
Just this last November, the U.S. Justice Department announced that two Estonian citizens were arrested for their alleged involvement in a $575 million cryptocurrency fraud and money laundering conspiracy. That same month, a notable Chinese venture investor, Bo Shen revealed he lost $42 million worth of crypto as a result of a theft from his personal wallet.
Between then and now, the news of the collapse of crypto platform FTX continues to rattle the world of digital assets. To date, FTX’s customers’ funds are still frozen and they are losing hope they will ever get much back. It’s customers number in the millions. The 50 largest creditors alone are owed more than $3 billion dollars.
It makes you wonder about the safety and integrity of trading crypto assets.
Let this be a reminder that the world’s largest futures and options exchange – the CME Group – offers you a choice for managing cryptocurrency risk with Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin futures and options as well as Ether futures.
These contracts trade on a regulated exchange where all participants see the same prices and quotes. Participants enjoy true market transparency and price discovery. They all can be easily traded on your supported trading platform.
For more information or a professional consultation, or to try a futures trading platform demo, contact Cannon Trading Co.
Updates effective March 1, 2023 are listed below and highlighted on the schedules:
  • CME Alternative Investment Product Fee Schedules
  • (NEW) Note 4 – Effective through August 31, 2023, the Exchange Fees for all Globex, EFP, EFR, Block and BTIC transactions in Micro Bitcoin Futures will be discounted to $0.70 for members and to $1.00 for non-members.
  • (NEW) Note 5 – Effective through August 31, 2023, the Exchange Fees for all Globex, EFP, EFR, Block and BTIC transactions in Micro Ether Futures will be discounted to $0.07 for members and to $0.10 for non-members.
  • CME Other Fees and Discounts
  • Event Contracts – Cash Settlement Fee waiver extended through August 31, 2023

PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
April live cattle satisfied second upside PriceCounts objective last month and has spent time consolidating since. At this point if the charts can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the third count would project a run to the 171.92 area, very close to the old time high print from the fall of 2014.
The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

We started out 2023 with a bit better volume across the board and some large moves across different markets.

Still not the volume we saw in the first week of December but as large traders return from holidays the volume will pick up.

We have a busy day tomorrow!

ISM PMI

JOLTS

FOMC Minutes.

If anyone has holidays “hangover” tomorrow should cure that out as I expect some larger moves and higher volatility.
