Trade June indices as well as June currencies!

PPI tomorrow

Between bank failures and rollover, mini SP traded 6 million contracts yesterday and approx. 4.5 million today. Daily range ( high to low) was near or above the 100 points for the mini SP!

The injected volatility back into the markets make this a different playing field than we had few weeks ago…

Few pointers below, Hope it helps.

 

 

*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.

*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.

 

* 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.

 

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

If you are looking for other reference material please contact your Cannon Broker for lists of solid, informative and helpful trading tomes

Ahead of NFP this TOMORROW, the below is provided by our friends over at NewSquawk.com

PREVIEW: US nonfarm payrolls (Feb’23) to be released on Friday March 10th at 13:30GMT/08:30EST

 

EXPECTATIONS: The consensus looks for 203k nonfarm payrolls to be added to the US economy in February (forecast range: 100-325k), with the pace cooling from the 517k added in January. If the consensus is realized, it would be lower than the pace of the 3-, 6- and 12-month averages, at 356k, 349k and 414k respectively. The unemployment rate is expected to be unchanged at 3.4% (range: 3.3-3.5%); the Fed projects that the jobless rate will peak at 4.6% in 2023, although the central bank will update its economic projections at the March 21-22nd confab.

Looking at the last two trading days of the week

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General:

Continued dollar strength this week, an expected more hawkish leaning by Fed officials in today’s release of last month’s FOMC meeting minutes and a more widespread sentiment that higher U.S. rates will cause a recession all have provided the backdrop against the downward bias in the major equity indexes. Along the same lines, the stronger dollar has added to the negative macro view toward physical commodities. Paradoxically, U.S. economic data continues every so often to post positive data and that has reduced recession fears. On balance, it appears the path of least resistance for equity indexes looks to be down for now.

 

Markets:

Energy: Natural gas (March contract) pierced through the $2.00 price point for the first time since September 2020 before rebounding up to positive territory as of this typing. That’s a precipitous ±$34,000 per contract move from the contract’s recent ±$5.40 highs going back almost three months to the day. Bearish fundamentals can take credit for the sell-off, notably a ±19% decline in demand among the 27-nation European Union from last August into January and continued poor U.S. demand as above normal temperature forecasts for the U.S. nationally remain intact through the first week of March. The major winter storm crossing the country through the end of the week looks to be providing minimal support.

 

Metals: Gold (April) remains mired near its lows for the year near ±$1,835/oz, not eager to recover from its ±$130 slide since its ±$1,970/oz. intraday high of Feb. 1, a ±$13,000 move.
