Hello Traders,

For 2013 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading! 

 

 Today we witnessed the possibility of erratic moves in the futures market.

From what I am reading, false rumors generated by hackers hit the news with: Explosions in the White House, Obama is hurt….
That resulted in the SP futures dropping 18 full points in matter of minutes.  An intraday chart of mini SP 500 for your review below. Note the huge price drop and volume between 12:06 and 12:12 central time.

That brings me to a point that I like to share, using “auto brackets when entering a trade”. This is my personal preference but when I enter day-trades, I like my software to immediately generate a stop and a limit**. I have the ability to modify these stops/ targets but at least I have orders in the system. This can help in situations like today, when different reports come out etc.

Most of our trading platforms have that ability of auto brackets and you can test drive two of my favorite platforms for free:

To get a little bit longer term picture, I am sharing my mini SP 500 weekly chart with you. The way I view this chart is that failure to break above 1585 can signal medium term exhaustion of buying and can trigger a visit of 1507. But again…this is just my personal view based on the weekly chart and I have been wrong before, that’s for sure.

Hello Traders,

So far most selling in stock index futures are met with volume buying at lower levels. I wish I had an idea of how long this would last….but I don’t. What can change the dynamics are the few employment reports we have this week. Starting with tomorrow ADP report, Thursday weekly report and non-farm payroll (the big report) this
Friday.
Be aware of when the different reports come out and their importance. I post the upcoming reports in this blog and I like using forexfactory.com as a source as well as when I do research about past reports.
