Hello Traders,

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

A quick note about trading systems.

I know most of you are what i consider self directed traders. You like to make your own decisions of when to buy/ sell/ markets etc.

Some of you may have tried different automated trading systems in the past and some may be currently trading some systems. i think that if one has the risk capital and does the due diligence, there are some good systems out there which can be used as diversification to your own trading and/ or as a form of more aggressive investment.

I do want to bring to your attention two trading systems I personally really like and have been impressed with the results.

One is a medium term system/model that works with seasonal spreads. We have clients in this office who been trading these spreads for years and will be more than happy to share additional details for those of you who are interested.

The second is a day trading system that finishes each day flat. It does not trade often, avg of about 2 trades a day. it picks trades from about 20 different futures markets and is offered as auto trade here at cannon trading. Again, I am quite impressed with the results so far and will be happy to share more with interested clients prospects.

Please email me with any questions/ interest on the topic above and I will be happy to assist!

5. Futures Economic Reports for Tuesday December 10, 2013

Hello Traders,

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

Extremely low volume today, a little too early for “holiday trading mode” but today’s trading in stock index futures definitely resembled holiday trading. I am pretty convinced that we will see more volatility and volume in the next couple of weeks before reaching Christmas and New year trading weeks.

Although I have shared this piece with you before, i think it is worth sharing again as understanding or trying to predict what type of trading day we will have ahead has big importance on style of trading to be used, level of aggressiveness etc.

  • In my opinion there are 3 main types of trading days.
  1. The most common day are two sided trading action with swings up and down – this type of trading day is most suitable for using support and resistance levels along with overbought/oversold indicators.
  2. Strong trending days, mostly one directional – this type of trading day is the least common, many times will happen on Mondays and maybe 3-5 times a month at most – this type of trading day is most suitable for using ADX, MACD crossovers and pretty much looking for pullbacks to jump on the trend.
  3. Slow and/or choppy trading days – this type of trading day is best suited for taking small profits from the market by looking at volume spikes, using stochastics as possible entry signals and usually wait for a pullback before jumping in.
  • A good question I’ve been asked is how can one asses what type of trading day we will have while the market is still trading….I have been doing some work in finding the answers and will be happy to hear feedback via email but here are some initial observations:
    1. Was the overnight session a wide, two sided trading range? If the answer is yes, good chances for similar trading day during the primary session (primary session is when the cash/stock market is open)
    2. Mondays have the highest chance for trending days
    3. The behavior of the first hour of trading can also suggests the type of action for the rest of the day.
    4. If the first 30 minutes of the trading day have good volume, better chances for type 1 or type 2 trading days.
    5. Low volume during the first 30 minutes can suggest a choppy (type 3 trading day)

Hello Traders,

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

To continue our mini Dow story from yesterday….After the close I got one of my “reversal” indicators to generate a sell signal as a counter trend trade. Personally to me, it gave a bit more confidence in the short side of the trade, HOWEVER, I think that actual trade management, where to place a stop, where to take profits, do you place a limit order for the target or do you just trail your stop ? these and other questions are probably the most important factors when it comes to success or failure of trades.

5. Futures Economic Reports for Thursday October 31, 2013

Hello Traders,

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

So FOMC came and gone and like I said many times before, many times the real reaction comes the next day.
Which way, I am not sure but I am sharing a daily chart of the mini Dow futures where I see either potential for double top if we hold below today’s high OR potential for a break above and move towards the next FIBONACCI extension as seen on the chart.

As always in our business….time will tell, which brings me to a different point I would like to share:

My thoughts are as follow, there is probably 65% chance this market will try to make a new high and break today’s high ( in my opinion), however, I think that is we make a new high it will not be that much further than were we at now. While I think there is better chances for a move up, I think that if we do make a move down, there are HIGHER probabilities for a larger move downside than a larger move to the upside….hope this make sense. Based on this personal view of mine, I will look for a short set up with relatively small stop in hopes to catch the next big wave down. it may take a few attempts on my end but I like the risk / reward of this set up and hope that by sharing the thought process I gave you an idea on another approach for trading.
