May the money left on the table be someone else’s and may my pockets be deeper than the correction.
✋ May I always be 5 minutes ahead of the market, And may my order have a clear path to the pit (electronic exchange now days….).
✋ And if this one is a winner, I swear I quit!

Weekly Newsletter 1077: Adjust your Trading with Volatility & Futures Levels for the Week Ahead

Trading 201: Adjust your Trading with Volatility

Unemployment report along with Omicron along with an already “very spicy markets” encouraged me to share some of the following pointers.
Hope it helps.
*While I have no idea were the market is going from day to day, minute to minute, week to week etc. I do know that in the past, some of the sharpest and largest rallies were short covering after a large sell off. More often than not market sell offs and volatility like we are seeing do not end up as V type of action but more like U or W when it is all said and done.
*Expect the unexpected…
* Have an idea of what you are looking to do, keep in mind possible risk and have a game plan. Now more than ever, plan your trade and than trade your plan!
* Think money management, hedging risk while you are still trying to figure out how to profit.
* Know what is going on, reports, current margins, current limits and more.
  • Consider short term options instead of futures and/or MICROS
*Trade smaller. The bands are much larger. Watch the VIX.
* DO NOT assume anything…if you are not sure, contact us and we will try our best to assist with the combined, vast experience we have here as a team.
* Wash hands, take this seriously and do your best to stay healthy….
My colleague, John Thorpe, Ex floor broker, contributed the following on the VIX and the VVIX:
We recommend all stock indices intraday traders to keep an eye on the VIX for directional clues and study, many of you have access through other means to view this critical trading barometer, VIX now trades 5 days per week ,23 hours per day. if you need to add the VIX data to your trading platforms , it’s 3 bucks per month, penny wise and pound foolish if you don’t. Contact your broker on how to add the Volatility Index traded through the CBOE to your trading platform

New COVID Variant Looms and Markets React w/ Extreme Volatility, Support and Resistance Levels 11.30.2021

Posted on by Ilan

Dear Futures Trader,

Get Real Time updates and more on our private FB group!

On Friday, Omicron, the new COVID-19 variant took the oxygen out of newsrooms.

Detected first in South Africa, this mutation is being described as potentially more contagious than the Delta variant. It is unknown whether the currently available vaccines will provide protection from it.
The result was one of the most post Thanksgiving Friday trading session I have seen in over 22 years!
Intraday Volatility in stock index futures is extremely high. Actually across many markets BTC futures leading the volatility but metals, energies ( Natural Gas down 11% today!!) and grains have seen higher volatility.
  1. Learn to reduce trading size. Perhaps trade smaller contracts like the micros.
  2. Adjust stops and entries based on volatility ( ATR/ Parabolics).
  3. Be extra picky on entries without chasing trades.
  4. Understand that loses are part of trading and this is definitely not a good time to “fight the markets”.
  5. Focus more on risk management and ways to protect certain positions as needed. Survive to trade another day.
  6. Consider possibly utilizing short term options rather than futures.
The risk is MUCH GREATER than I have seen, yet some traders look for it.
That is ok, as long as you :
Know the rules, understand current margins, know where the circuit breakers are/ limit moves.
Figure out your max risk.
After you do all that, feel free to trade but jumping in and trying to trade without the basic knowledge above is like jumping into a stormy ocean without a life vest…..At any time, feel free to contact us with questions/feedback/resources.

1. Market Commentary

Days like today and yesterday encourage me to repeat what I wrote yesterday:

ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! When volatility skyrockets like now, moves become extreme, the speed of the market really picks up and this is when one must adjust their trading size lower to accommodate for the wilder and wider moves.

Below is an hourly chart of SP500 pit session. Notice the gaps we have from overnight moves.

I think if we can break 1132, market may have a shot at closing the gap all the way up at: 1155 Continue reading “High Market Volatility as Shown by S&P 500 Pit Session | Support and Resistance Levels”

Using Algorithms During High Market Volatility | Support and Resistance Levels

Posted on by Ilan

Another day full of two sided moves and volatility.

This type of trading action works well for a set of studies/ ALGO I developed.

You can see a screen shot below which pretty much speaks for itself.

Minute Futures chart for 10,000 Contracts CVB from August 26th, 2011

Minute Futures chart for 10,000 Contracts CVB from August 26th, 2011

I share my studies and ALGO in two ways.

The first is by having a daily live chart service, where subscribers/ trial members get a unique invitation to view my screen along with live charts, trade signals and trade philosophy. I call it live webinar.

The second method is available for sierra charts / ATcharts users . Those who are interested will get my ALGO/ study pac via email and will be able to apply it on their sierra charts for different markets, different time frames etc.

Both methods are available for a free trial if you did not have one yet.

To read more and request a trial, visit our futures trading webinar page or simply send me an email with your sierra/ ATcharts user name.

Have a great weekend!
