Hello {First Name},
 
Time to trade June bonds, May silver and May copper as well as May grains.
Stock futures and currencies don't roll over until mid March and we will send a separate notice.
Tomorrow is the last trading day of the month ( yup...February is a very short trading month....). First and last trading days of the month, can at times experience even higher volatility as large traders may close positions/ profits & losses to start a fresh month.
Also some markets will have end of month options expirations.

The recent volatility reminds me of last March, when COVID started.

I have a few points to make:

  1. Take a look at the below chart from today on the mini NASDAQ this volatility will play both sides and in MY OPINION this is not a market to just buy and hold using futures….You need to be able to react and adjust positions according to market action and sentiment.
  2. DON’T try to predict tops and bottoms….
  3. Learn to reduce trading size. Perhaps trade smaller contracts like the micros.
  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.
  6. Survive to trade another day.


 
The difference between high and low of the day on mini Nasdaq today was an astonishing $11,770 per contract. For good or bad...With this volatility the MICROS are becoming a much more attractive option at times....
