Trading Wisdom and Support & Resistance Levels 11.02.2021

Posted on by Jenny Collins

Dear Futures Trader,

 

My colleague John Thorpe, Senior Futures Broker, wanted to share the following with everyone:
I would venture to guess that any futures trader who drills down into the nuts and bolts of fundamentals, technicals, astronomy, astrology, quantum mechanics, or any other academic pursuit associated with trading has a Library of books from well-silvered authors. One of my favorites, who has put out quite a bit of work over the past 50 years, is Jack D. Schwager. I’ll share one of his time honored quotes with you today.
“One of my favorite patterns is the tendency for the markets to move from relative lows to relative highs and vice versa every two to four days. This pattern is a function of human behavior. It takes several days of a market rallying before it looks really good. That’s when everyone wants to buy it, and that’s the time when the professionals, like myself, are selling. Conversely, when the market has been down for a few days, and everyone is bearish, that’s the time I like to be buying.”
If you are looking for other reference material please contact your Cannon Broker for lists of solid, informative and helpful trading tomes for a futures trader.

Today is the day for some futures market philosophy.
But first, a heads up: Start trading in January beans – November beans entering first notice day.
You should be already trading December natural gas.
My colleague, Mark O’Brien shared this with me today as he heard my frustration with some of the trades and markets…
“Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought.”
Sun Tzu
The Art of War
This passage  that dates back the 6th century B.C. , can aptly be applied to trading futures. Prepare for each trade and set your risk.  If the initial outcome is favorable, use your enemy’s (the market’s) resources (move your stop) to sustain your trading.
Don’t engage in extended battles (over trade) and consume your resources (money, time, mental energy).
Your “enemy,” (the market) only has the power to destroy your account if you let it.

Wow! What a volatile 24 hours we had across many markets. Mini Nasdaq limit down at one time, Mexican Peso down 11% at one point, bonds saw a 6 point swing, Dow had a range of over1100 points!! This one will definitely go down in the history books of trading….

What’s next?

Expect volatility and uncertainty to remain although not to this extent. Go back in your notes, research some volatile trading periods and adjust your trading accordingly and last but not least, remember that “No trade is better than a BAD trade”.

5. Futures Economic Reports for Wednesday November 2, 2016

Greetings!

BIG day tomorrow!

FOMC meeting along with ADP employment report earlier in the day and crude oil numbers…

Be aware of the reports, know your strengths and weaknesses and decide if you should be trading during these reports or not.

refer back to notes from your ( hopefully ) trading journal and stay disciplined and consistent. No trade is better than a bad trade!

Here are some notes I share before every FOMC day….

_____________________________________________________________________

FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.

if you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market.

The following are suggestions on trading during FOMC days:

  • Reduce trading size
  • Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade
  • Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 2105.00 with a stop at 2099.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 2099.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example.
  • Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement
  • Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.
  • Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.
  • Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues
  • Be patient and be disciplined

Greetings!

ECB was almost a none event today with minor moves in the markets ( except an erratic and indecisive treasury sector)

Natural gas report came out and prices ended up pretty much where it was before the report…..

A good article about futures spreads available for your trading education.

Another thought for you day traders out there – have you ever considered trading ES vs NQ?
NQ vs YM? etc. instead of just taking an outright position? Continue reading “Future Spreads 10.21.2016”

Greetings!

Front month for stock indices (e-minis) is December.
Front month for metals is December.
Front month for currencies is December.
Front month for natural gas and crude oil / energies is November. Be consistent with your trading decision…if you have rules make sure you follow them and fight that bad voice inside that makes you deviate, usually when in a losing trade! Discipline and consistency are sometimes more important than the question of should I buy or should I sell…

Trade with confidence, Trade with a plan, Trade with discipline!

Hello Traders,

Greetings!

Trading 201: Day Trading Using fear and greed ( using Crude Oil futures as an example)

Crude Oil Futures volatility offers a “different market personality” than stock index futures. Here is some of the things you need to know about day trading crude oil futures:
By: Ilan Levy-Mayer, Cannon Trading Commodities Broker & VP

Crude Oil is one of MY favorite futures markets 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 ofCrude Oil Futures.

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

Another factor is trading hours. At the time I am sharing my thoughts with you, April 8th 2013 ( I wrote this one a while back but the examples and logic are still very current!) , crude oil futures trade on the CME Globex platform and trade from 5 PM CDT until the next day at 4 PM CDT. That is 23 of straight trading hours. I definitely don’t recommend day trading this market 23 hours…but it is good to know the trading hours.
