Stock Index Futures Fall Sharply -Again!

 

Stocks tried recovering after yesterday’s sell off and for a bit it seemed like they were but completely reversed and posted a bearish close!

 

Both silver and gold sold off sharply as well!

 

Crude oil managed to hold first level of support.

 

Side note if you are a day-trader in stock indices:

 

Volatility is quite high. This requires one to evaluate their stops? targets? Trading size?

 

With the micros Trading such good volume across the board a trader now has the option of trading one 3, 6 micros for example rather than trading one Single mini SP or mini Nasdaq This is especially true on volatility as as high as we see today And may help certain traders adapt to the volatility.

 

If you like feedback, discuss ideas – let us know and we will do our best to assist.

Stock Index Futures Fall Sharply!

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

As of this typing, the September E-mini S&P 500 stock index futures contract is on track for its worst day since 2022, losing ±120 points (a $6,000 per contract move) / ±2.2%. The E-mini Nasdaq shed ±700 points (a $14,000 per contract move) / ±3.4%.

 

Two mega-cap companies – Google parent company Alphabet and Tesla – released gloomy 2nd quarter earnings reports and in sympathy, major technology stocks Nvidia, Meta Platforms and Microsoft, lost 6%, 5% and 4%, respectively. Summer has been a period susceptible to weakness for equities, so for ones whose performances have been responsible for the bulk of the gains this year among the major stock indexes, the individual losses exacerbated today’s sell-off.

 

Despite these misses from the mega-cap tech, the earnings season overall is off to a strong start. More than 25% of S&P 500 companies have reported their second-quarter earnings, with roughly 80% of them topping expectations, according to FactSet data.

Active day tomorrow to follow with GDP, weekly unemployment, durable goods on the economic front along with LIGHT earnings reports tomorrow.

The Advantages of Using a Futures Broker for Day Trading

If you want to get into futures trading then there are two factors to consider and each one comes with its benefits that will help you get the most out of your portfolio instead of simply hoping that you check on it in a few years and see big gains. The first thing to think about is getting a futures broker to trade futures on your behalf instead of jumping headlong into it yourself with real money on the line. Traders who work in the world of stocks full-time know what they’re doing and will immediately get you better returns than you’d ever see on your own.

The second is using those futures traders for day trading to ensure that you can react to real-time data and adjust your futures positions accordingly, as the market data comes in to inform your moves. It’s possible to trade futures multiple times a week and that will make a big difference as prices evolve throughout the market and give you an edge on interest rates as the trading day progresses. Futures traders have years of trading experience and can use the changing information to get the most out of your account, and have the futures education it takes to trade on your behalf for the best returns.

Understanding Futures Trading

It’s important to understand what futures trades are and how investors use them to get the market on their side so they know what to expect when it comes to their returns. The simplest way to put it is to think of it as a derivative contract that your futures broker is agreeing to in terms of stock price throughout the market. Instead of buying stocks at the price they were at when you acquired them, you’re agreeing to buy them in the future, at a price that you set when you agree.

Whether you’re buying commodities or security, futures work the same way and a trading platform will have interactive brokers that specialize in futures trading and know how to get them at the best price, at that future date. It’s a lot to consider with many tools being utilized to figure it all out, and that’s why a professional futures trader is always going to be the best way to go, especially since they’ll be relying on their futures commissions instead of the standard contracts other investors are trying to make.

What Are Futures Contracts?

Futures contracts, in the United States, are regulated by the CTFC or Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and they work at agreements to buy financial products at a specified time and date at a specified price. That means they rely on a keen understanding of demand and data to use trading tools as a way to determine where a stock will be in the future. When you invest in futures trading, you’re agreeing to pay a pre-determined cost for anything from energy to currency, or from grains to livestock, in the future while hoping the stock is at a higher price than what you’ve agreed to.

Futures are available across the stock exchange and almost everything can be traded in the past at a locked-in rate. Your ability to understand where a stock will be in the future is going to be at a minimum when compared to futures traders and that’s why the best way to maintain a healthy portfolio is with a professional. You can hire a company to worry about derivatives, low commissions, and everything else while you’re free to watch your investments grow from the comfort of your desktop or mobile device.

Choosing the Right Futures Broker

Mobile Device

As a customer, you want to make sure that you’re choosing the right futures broker to meet your needs and do it at a reasonable set of fees so the money they make for you doesn’t simply cover their monthly fee and nothing else. They must have suitable experience in everything to do with futures trading, from micro e-mini futures and other micro futures to livestock, energy, and currency. You also want them to have experience with multiple asset classes to trade on your behalf to give you a well-rounded portfolio.

The right future trading professional will give you access to your funds whenever you want them as well as advanced features so you can see what’s happening with web access to your account. They should also be able to provide charts for free to show you why any trade was made and which trades you should fund in the future. Clearing up misunderstandings on any subject will save you from questioning a trade and the margin rates and NFA fees they offer should keep you comfortable enough to continue making money while everyone benefits from trading commodities.

The Role of the CFTC in Futures Trading

When you deal with futures markets and trading futures, you also have to deal with the CFTC, and it doesn’t matter which platforms you are using or the tools your trading partners are utilizing when they trade on the market. The futures market is overseen by the CFTC and they many rules in place to keep the market data where it should be for a healthy and profitable financial system to thrive. This commission’s main goal is to promote the market of derivatives through regulation and trades have to follow their rules, no matter what they’re doing.

Of course, this is all the information that your trader needs to know, and not you. It would take a full-time position to fully understand the legal positions and how to negotiate them and that’s why the right broker will make all the difference, especially when you can’t dedicate all of your time to understanding the market. The market is vast and complex and the best way to navigate the world is by letting trading professionals do what they do while you simply make money.

Finding the Right Futures Broker for Your Needs

Globe

The right futures trading professionals will have all they need to take your account and grow it by trading futures and taking low commissions because they know you’ll want to make them your sole trading platform. Check out different interactive brokers and see what they have to offer you and your portfolio. Make sure they have the right trading experience and support to help you understand what they’re doing and why they’re doing it.

Any good trading company will have plenty of reviews for you to check out before you decide to use their services and they should get high marks on every front. Once you decide on a trading company, make sure they’re fast and reliable with access to your account at all hours of the day and night. That’s the best way to know that you’re with the right company and that your portfolio will continue to grow while you enjoy the profits.

October lean hogs finally stabilized their extended slide and activated upside PriceCount objectives on the correction higher. The recovery rally has accelerated and is approaching the second upside PriceCount objective to the 75.62 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

What you need to know for July 18th – Futures Markets

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

Indexes:  

 

The September E-mini S&P 500 stock index futures contract climbed to it latest all-time high yesterday, closing at 5715.50, only to see its largest sell-off in two years today, currently down ±72 points / 1.25%.

 

Leading the index pack, however, the September E-mini Nasdaq is currently down ±625 points / 3.00% and ±900 points from its own all-time high posted last Wednesday, closing then at 20,896.50 and breaching 20,000 at this blog’s typing.

 

Metals: 

Gold prices traded up to an all-time high today on growing optimism the U.S. Federal Reserve will conduct an interest-rate cut in September.  The front month August futures contract dropped about 0.26% to $2,459.90 per ounce due to profit-taking after hitting an all-time high of $2,488.40 earlier in the session.

 

Markets now see a 98% chance of a U.S. rate cut in September, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. 

 

Following suit, September silver lost ±95 cents (a ±$4750 per contract move) to near $30.50/ounce.

 

Energies: 

 

Natural gas futures suffered another bout of heavy selling today with the front month August contract losing ±15 cents (a $1,500 per contract move) / 6.75% today and closing near two-month lows and within a few cents of $2.000 /mmBtu.  Despite hot weather across much of the U.S. driving power-sector demand, large inventory surplus numbers have proved an overhang for prices

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

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.
