Extreme Volatility!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Volatility!<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last few weeks and especially the last few trading sessions we saw tremendous volatility across many markets.<\/p>\n

What we witnessed last night and during today’s session reminded me of the markets when COVID first broke out and we saw limit moves across the board.<\/p>\n

Temporarily: Due to volatility, most of our platforms now require 100% margins; even for day trading!<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas to explore during times of volatility like these:<\/em><\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You don\u2019t have a crystal ball. To think you can buy an ES contract in this volatility and use a 2 point stop in hopes of making 20 points profit is a very low probability event\u2026you would need to buy it at the PEREFECT time for this to happen.\u00a0Point is, with higher volatility you need to use WIDER stops to give yourself a chance. That may mean using SMALLER trade size.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you are able to, share your read with another trader, it may provide you with a better perspective just by sharing.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you think there is room for a big move or what we call a \u201crunner\u201d\u00a0– be prepared to for the pullbacks. Use multiple time frames to gain a better perspective and hang in there for the big move, if this is what you think can happen.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If you have enough risk capital, try to use multiple contracts, example buying 2 rather than 1. Taking profit on the first part of the position will help you relax and look at what the market is really telling you rather than what you would like it to say. It helps reduce both the fear and the greed.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cPlan your trade, trade your plan\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, these are just some short pointers, written quickly after today\u2019s session in hopes of helping you when you face a similar situation of extreme volatility.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n

May Soybeans<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

May soybeans satisfied a third downside PriceCount objective on the Friday flush. It is normal for the chart to react in the form of a near term consolidation or corrective trade, at leaset. IF we can resume the break the contract low stands out as a significant support level to contend with while the low percentage fourth count remains open to the $9.16 area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an \u2018exact\u2019 science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved. <\/em><\/h5>\n
It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.<\/em><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
