Each of you is a different person, different trader and hence the importance of keeping a personal trading journal. If you trade crude oil, you will be able to look back at your journal and decide if to trade or not during crude numbers and read from past weekly reprots which will greatly help you preparing for tomorrow report.

Hello Traders,

Greetings!

Crude Oil Futures Are Reaching a Decision Point
I like the potential of being bullish on crude oil futures for next few weeks! Here are a few ways you can do this:

Crude oil futures have been providing quite a bit of excitement the last few months. Most traders, myself included, like excitement when it comes to trading. It means two things: opportunities and risks.

The recent pullback in crude oil future prices present a buying opportunity, in my opinion.

Looking at the daily chart of crude oil below, you will see that I marked what I feel should be a support level for resumption of the upside move.

Hello Traders,

Summer trading at its best….8 points range on the Mini SP 500 during the primary session…As a trader, that can be pretty depressing. Few things you can do when stock index futures are “dead”:

  1. Wait for them to come back a live and simply don’t trade until that happens.
  2. Look at weekly Mini SP500 options as an alternative
  3. Look at other markets ( crude oil had a nice volatile range today)

In between, feel free to reach out to us here at Cannon with any questions, feedback and comments and let us know how we can help you achieve your goals!

Here is some good reading material for when the market is slow:

Trading 201: Day Trading Crude Oil futures

Crude Oil is one of MY favorite futures market for day trading. Before I dive in and share with you how the volatility in crude oil fits my risk tolerance for day trading and provide a couple of chart examples, we should review some of the specifications of Crude Oil Futures.

Crude Oil Futures have monthly expiration. So each month we trade a different contract month, so one needs to know when is the first notice day and last trading day for crude oil futures in order to always make sure we are trading the proper month with the most liquidity and avoid any chance of getting into delivery situation.

Next is the contract size. Crude Oil futures are based on 1000 barrels. To be honest from a day trading perspective all I care is that each tick or 1 cent fluctuation is $10 against me or in my favor per contract. That means that a move from 92.94 to 92.74 = $200.

Hello Traders,

For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

Wealth of information  for review if you are a crude oil/ energy trader!

Trading myopothy blinds many traders so from time to time it is important to step back, take a deep breath and look at the price action from longer time frames” The action to the downside in the Crude oil market has been nothing short of breathtaking. ….

the longer term view(s) can illustrate ( on this chart supplied by U.S. Energy Information Administration).  That deeper sell offs and more volatile market moves could continue for some time .

Moves in the Futures Indices, Crude Oil & Gold, Economic Reports & Levels 10.16.2014

Posted on by Ilan

Hello Traders,

For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

 I may sound like I keep repeating myself but make sure you are adapting to the different market conditions we are seeing compared to a month ago or so.

There is much higher volatility, speed of price change and wider ranges.

Moves today in bonds, S&P, Russell, Crude, Gold and many other markets were very sharp, fast and powerful. This obviously presents both risks and opportunities but for newcomers – mostly risk.

This is a good day to keep notes on in your journal. What caused the price action? What type of “bands” did the market have? How did you do as a trader? What can you do better and learn from for the next “Wild, crazy” day which may even happen tomorrow?

 

The biggest advice I can give on days like today is to make sure you don’t lose it….make sure you know what your daily loss limit is and step away if it gets triggered. This is one of those days where I have seen traders blow their whole account up…..So just make sure you live to trade another day!

Crude Oil Futures Testing Major Weekly Support Level, SP500 Volatility Higher + Levels for 8.6.2014

Posted on by Ilan

Hello Traders,

For 2014 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!

Volatility has picked up again! Make sure you adapt as markets are always changing and what may work for range bound/ low volatility days will not work for wide range/ higher volatility days.

I see major support for SP500 at 1795 and it will be interesting to see price reaction if we test this level in the next few days.

On a different note, I wrote a quick analysis along with chart for Crude Oil futures at:

Crude Oil and Stock Index Futures: Small Bounce or Short-Term Bottom?

Hello Traders,

We started the week with nice bounce on stock indices, crude oil  and gold continue to hold.

The big question: Is this a small correction/ bounce after the strong sell off last week or is this a short term bottom?

 

My opinion is that it is just a normal bounce after strong sell off and that there is more room on the downside but we will need to see the market reaction if we can climb up to 1320 and 1337 on the SP and  94.50 on the crude oil
