I was wrong….when the MICROS first came out I was saying to myself “that defeats the whole point of leverage” BUT I am a big fan now.
MICRO CL, MICRO ES, MICRO NQ are just some of the markets with very nice volume and they offer the flexibility of scaling in and out, smaller exposure.
The NQ for example is trading at such levels compare to 3 years ago that a “normal 0.5%” move is worth approx. $1000 against you or in your favor simply because we are trading at 15613….compare to 780 3 years ago!! That is more than double the value/ exposure etc.
The MICRO CL got great volume and at times when this market is very volatile or you want to take a swing trade but still sleep well at night…..

You’ve finally finished your futures education at Cannon Trading Company. You’ve done you’re homework on stops, limits, indicators and price movements for the market you’re trading. You’re ready to go, you enter your limit order and you wait.

MICRO crude oil is seeing some good volume. Over 53000 contracts traded today.
In my opinion a great vehicle for the following:
New traders and smaller traders.
When one wants to average in to increase/ build position and then scale out.
At times of higher volatility like today when numbers came out.
At 1/10th of the regular crude oil contract along with good liquidity the MICRO crude oil is now joining MICRO ES, MICRO NQ, MICRO russell, MICRO dow, MICRO gold and the MICRO bitcoin as what I consider good, SMALLER, liquid markets.

First trading day of the month tomorrow. Wishing all of us a successful trading month and a healthy, safe September.
Was hoping to share some valuable insight about trading or the markets today but honestly I think the markets are waiting for Labor Day weekend coming up and volatility is still relatively low in most markets.
One advice I have to share is, observe and trade more than one market. if you are only trading crude oil and your trading model/ style looks for volatility and crude goes into low volatility – now what? ( Talking about crude oil….don’t forget tomorrow we have inventories at 10:30 AM EST and dont forget we have MICRO crude oil with nice volume and 1/10th the size!)
But if you learn the fundamentals of few markets, lets say ES, Cl and ZB and you scan these markets for set ups you like – I personally feel that may be a better approach than just trading a single market.
