 The Week ahead: Earnings Blowout! or Blow UP?

by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

With over 500 companies reporting earnings this week it is near the end of the reporting season. The market will focus Wednesday on the elephant in the room, Nvidia (NVDA Nasdaq).

The boom in Nvidia’s AI-focused business has increased more than 200% year to date, giving it a $1.1 trillion market valuation. Watch for the NQU23 to dance around in a range until AFTER Wednesday’s cash market close.

EPA Estimates are +$2.07 . future guidance will be big for the “internet Index” as AI has been leading the way and Nvidia is the leading GPU maker in the space.

BUT WAIT! that’s not all for the week,  it’s time for the Annual “Jackson Hole” conference, a 3 day meeting of top bankers and the FED.

Friday morning @ 10:00am CDT Jerome Powell will set the tone with a speech that could provide a case for the Feds next Fed Rate decision September 20-21st. This is an important meeting next month as it also sets projections by the FED members for GDP, Unemployment rate, Inflation for each year 2023,2024 and 2025.

Watch for increased volatility in the stock indices the last half of the week!

Trading Crude Oil Futures: Strategies, Techniques, and Considerations

Posted on by Cannon Operations

Learn more about trading crude oil futures with Cannon Trading Company here.

Trading crude oil futures is a dynamic and potentially lucrative endeavor that requires a deep understanding of the energy markets, technical analysis, risk management, and trading strategies. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of crude oil futures trading, focusing on a specific type of crude oil, discussing relevant exchanges, exploring day trading techniques for futures, and touching on techniques for trading crude oil options on futures. Additionally, we will highlight the services of Cannon Trading Company, known for their customer service excellence and high TrustPilot rating.

Understanding Crude Oil Futures Trading

Crude oil is a crucial global commodity that not only fuels economies but also presents trading opportunities for individuals and institutions. Crude oil futures contracts allow traders to speculate on the price movements of oil, whether they anticipate its price to rise (go long) or fall (go short). Futures contracts provide a standardized way to buy or sell a specific quantity of crude oil at a predetermined price on a future date.

Types of Crude Oil: When trading crude oil futures, it’s important to consider the different types of crude oil. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude are two of the most widely traded types. WTI is primarily produced in the United States and is known for its relatively low sulfur content. Brent crude, on the other hand, is sourced from the North Sea and is considered a global benchmark for oil prices.

Exchanges for Crude Oil Futures: Crude oil futures are traded on various exchanges around the world, with the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) being two prominent ones. NYMEX offers WTI crude oil futures, while ICE provides Brent crude oil futures. These exchanges provide liquidity, price discovery, and a platform for traders to engage in both speculation and risk management.

Day Trading Techniques for Crude Oil Futures

Day trading involves opening and closing positions within the same trading day, capitalizing on short-term price movements. Trading crude oil futures using day trading techniques requires discipline, a solid strategy, and an understanding of market dynamics.

  1. Technical Analysis: Day traders often rely on technical analysis, using indicators such as moving averages, MACD, RSI, and candlestick patterns to identify entry and exit points. Price charts and patterns can provide insights into potential price movements.
  2. Volatility Analysis: Crude oil markets can be highly volatile, presenting both opportunities and risks. Traders can use tools like the Average True Range (ATR) to gauge volatility and adjust their position sizing and stop-loss levels accordingly.
  3. News and Events: Economic and geopolitical news can significantly impact oil prices. Day traders should stay informed about major events, such as OPEC meetings, inventory reports, and geopolitical tensions, to anticipate potential price swings.
  4. Scalping and Momentum Strategies: Scalping involves making quick trades to capture small price movements, while momentum strategies capitalize on trends. These techniques require quick decision-making and a keen understanding of price momentum.
  5. Risk Management: Effective risk management is crucial in day trading. Setting stop-loss orders, defining maximum loss thresholds, and managing position sizes can help traders protect their capital.

Trading Crude Oil Options on Futures

Options on futures provide traders with the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a futures contract at a specific price (strike price) on or before a certain date (expiration date). Trading crude oil options on futures allows for more flexibility and risk management.

  1. Hedging Strategies: Crude oil options can be used for hedging purposes, allowing producers and consumers to protect themselves against price fluctuations. For example, a crude oil producer can purchase put options to hedge against a potential price decline.
  2. Directional Strategies: Traders can also use options to speculate on the future price direction of crude oil. Buying call options can provide exposure to potential price increases, while buying put options can provide exposure to potential price decreases.
  3. Spread Strategies: Option spreads involve trading multiple options contracts simultaneously to capitalize on price differentials. Calendar spreads and vertical spreads are common strategies that can be used to take advantage of volatility or time decay.
  4. Implied Volatility Considerations: Implied volatility reflects the market’s expectation of future price volatility. Traders should be aware of implied volatility levels, as it can impact option prices. High implied volatility may make options more expensive.

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 Gold Futures: Strategies, Exchanges, and Techniques

Posted on by Cannon Operations

Read more about trading gold futures with Cannon Trading Company here.

Trading gold futures offers traders the opportunity to capitalize on the price movements of one of the world’s most cherished and sought-after precious metals. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the intricacies of trading gold futures, exploring the prominent gold futures exchanges in the US and globally, discussing day trading techniques specific to gold futures, examining gold futures options, and highlighting Cannon Trading Company’s renowned customer service and impressive TrustPilot rating.

Understanding Gold Futures Trading

Gold, often referred to as a “safe-haven” asset, has historically been valued for its ability to retain its worth during economic uncertainties. Gold futures contracts allow traders to speculate on the future price of gold, whether they anticipate the price to rise or fall. These contracts offer a standardized way to buy or sell a specific quantity of gold at a predetermined price on a future date.

Exchanges for Gold Futures

Gold futures are actively traded on several exchanges around the world, providing liquidity and price discovery for traders. Notable exchanges for trading gold futures include:

  1. Commodity Exchange (COMEX): Operated by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group, COMEX offers gold futures contracts that are among the most widely recognized and traded in the world. The contracts are denominated in troy ounces.
  2. Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX): Based in India, MCX offers gold futures contracts that cater to the Indian market’s demand for gold trading. These contracts are popular among both retail and institutional traders.
  3. Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM): TOCOM provides gold futures contracts to traders in Asia, particularly Japan. These contracts are traded in yen per gram.
  4. Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE): The SGE is one of the world’s largest physical gold exchanges and offers gold futures contracts denominated in grams. It primarily serves the Chinese market.

Day Trading Techniques for Gold Futures

Day trading gold futures involves taking advantage of short-term price movements within the trading session. Successful day traders employ various strategies and techniques tailored to the unique characteristics of gold futures.

  1. Technical Analysis: Utilizing technical indicators, chart patterns, and candlestick analysis can help traders identify potential entry and exit points. Moving averages, relative strength index (RSI), and Fibonacci retracement levels are commonly used tools.
  1. Volatility Analysis: Gold can exhibit significant price volatility, influenced by economic data, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. Traders can use volatility indicators like the Average True Range (ATR) to gauge potential price swings.
  1. News and Economic Data: Day traders should stay informed about economic releases, central bank decisions, and geopolitical developments that can impact gold prices. Unexpected news events can lead to rapid price changes.
  1. Range Trading: Range-bound markets can provide day trading opportunities. Traders can look for support and resistance levels and trade within the range, aiming to profit from price fluctuations between these levels.
  1. Scalping and Breakout Strategies: Scalping involves making quick trades to capture small price movements, while breakout strategies focus on entering trades when prices break out of established levels. Both approaches require rapid decision-making.

Trading Gold Futures Options and Options on Futures

Gold futures options provide traders with the flexibility to speculate on gold price movements while managing risk. Options on gold futures allow traders to establish positions that benefit from price increases (call options) or price decreases (put options) without the obligation to buy or sell the underlying futures contract.

  1. Speculation: Traders can use gold futures options to speculate on the future price direction of gold. Buying call options can provide exposure to potential price increases, while buying put options can provide exposure to potential price declines.
  2. Risk Management: Gold futures options can be employed as a form of risk management. Gold producers, for example, can use put options to hedge against potential price declines that could impact their profitability.
  3. Spread Strategies: Options spread strategies involve trading multiple options contracts simultaneously to capitalize on price differentials. Vertical spreads and calendar spreads are commonly used strategies to manage risk and profit from price movements.

Cannon Trading Company: Customer Service and TrustPilot Rating

Cycle Detrending: Can you use Cycles to fortify your trading acumen?

Cycle Detrending: Can you use Cycles to fortify your trading acumen?

by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

I have accumulated a small library of important works in the study of futures trading over the years so instead of writing about the week ahead as I normally do on Mondays, I thought I would change pace ( I was enjoying a long weekend out of town ) so today, based on the work of Walt Bressert and The Foundation for the study of Cycles (Cycles.org) ,Jake Bernstein and others, I thought it would be important to briefly discuss another layer of technical analysis we all could use when trading becomes too myopic. The study of Cycles, simply put Cycle study is dedicated to the study of recurring patterns in the economy, markets, natural sciences and the Arts.  We are not looking to trade the big bottoms and tops that occur as the trend reverses, but the bottoms and tops of the shorter-term cycles occurring in the direction of TREND. One tool to identify the cycles within a trend is called “Centered Detrending” With “CD” you can visibly observe cycle bottoms and tops. Because this takes the mystery out of cycles you can look back over a considerable amount of time(History) and see the consistency and tradability of cycles. Most trading cycles in the futures markets tend to cluster between 18 and 22 bars. What we want to do is CD the chart and calculate a moving average the same length as the potential trading cycle. But instead of plotting the Moving Avg. (MA) from the last day it should be centered in the middle of the cycle; for instance if it is a 20 day MA, move it back 10 days from the most recent close. this will show you a linear representation of the cycles relative to price movement.

f5ca369c 24c4 4137 b4b2 cbaed97f242d

You are half way home now, since this will only show historical cycles it can’t be used for real-time trading. You now will need an Oscillator to overlay. To use an oscillator to identify cycle tops and bottoms look for three characteristics: (there are a number of oscillators on your trading platform, play around with a few)

  1. The oscillator turns when prices turn
  2. The oscillator does not “wiggle” much at cycle tops and bottoms
  3. The oscillator has amplitude moves that take it to the extremes of an allowable range as the cycles bottom and top..      I hope this gives you a different perspective to learn best how to trade a trend. My compliments to the decades of analysis put out there by Bressert, Bernstein , Edward Dewey Chief Economist for the Hoover admins Dept. of Commerce.

 

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.  You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.

As the duel between the United States and China continues, seemingly on several fronts, a new sign emerged the first half of the year: China’s imports to the U.S. accounted for the smallest percentage of goods arriving here in 20 years.  Just 13.3% of all imports to the U.S. came from China the first half of 2023.  Compare that to its peak of 21.6% for all of 2017 and its low point of 12.1% in 2013.  The downturn is not due to any list of stand-out products or industries, nor has any country or small number of countries jumped up to import a bigger share of anything.  Rather, slow-moving supply chain shifts across dozens of industries and nations are driving the trend.  When the dollar values of exports and imports are combined, Mexico is now America’s no. 1 trading partner, followed by Canada, pushing China to third place.

 

Last Thursday, the Labor Department reported the consumer-price index increased 0.2% in July, the same as in June. That is down sharply year-over-year looking at the 1.2% gain in June 2022.  If the downward trend continues – now over a year from its June 2022 peak reading of 9.1%, inflation is on a path to draw near the Federal Reserve’s 2% target by late 2023 or early 2024.

 

What could stand in the way of that trend?  Geopolitical events and weather could impact food and energy prices.

 

After Saudi Arabia and Russia announced reductions in their oil production last month, unleaded gas prices, which tend to lag behind crude oil prices, traded to 1-year highs on Friday (basis September) within less than two cents of $3.00 per gallon.

 

Further regarding Russia, last month it withdrew from a deal that allowed Ukraine to export grain through the Black Sea and has since attacked key port facilities in Odesa.  Ukraine is one of the world’s largest grain suppliers including 13% of global corn exports and the 12% of wheat.

 

Add to all this, scientists watching the periodic climate pattern called El Niño are now anticipating it arriving this winter more likely as “moderate,” and possibly a “strong” event than how they assessed conditions in May.  Ocean surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean have warmed enough off the coast of South America to trigger an El Niño, meaning possibly a warmer, dryer winter here in the U.S. and higher temperatures globally. This can cause disruptions to crops in some of the world’s most important commodities sources.

September Dollar Index stabilized its sharp break last months and has been recovering higher since. The chart is also activated upside PriceCount objectives, the first count projects a run to the 102.96 area, consistent with a challenge of the early July highs.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!

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.
