Micro stock index futures contracts open the door to less risky speculation

Published in: DeCarley Trading Press

The CME is launching less-scary futures contracts to trade stock indices.

While there are a plethora of advantages to trading futures contracts relative to stock market ETFs such as favorable tax treatment, easier tax reporting, around the clock market access, ease of shorting the market, and trading on margin without the burden of paying interest charges to a brokerage house. There is one large bright pink elephant in the room; leverage and the associated risk (large swings in position profit and loss).

 

The NASDAQ and Crude Oil Futures have been Hot, will it Last?

Published in: DeCarley Trading Press

 
Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money on CNBC, used chart analysis by commodity broker, Carley Garner, on the April 9th show. 

Garner analyzed the NASDAQ 100 futures contract, symbol NQ, in conjunction with WTI crude oil futures, symbol CL. These two assets have been trading with a positive correlation well into the 90s. While the correlation will likely weaken, it will probably remain intact. Further, the NQ is likely in store for a blow-off top in the coming months and oil, after a short-term pullback, could be headed for $80 per barrel.

The Only Magic in Trading: Humility and Common Sense

There is a big difference between being right and making money. Trading success isn't necessarily determined by strategy, entry and exit points, or time frames; the true line in the sand drawn between winners and losers is determined by the ability to manage trading emotions. There are steps that can be taken to mitigate the impact of emotion on a trading plan; including the purchase of cheap weekly options to act as a backstop against runaway day trades and approaching the market with realistic expectations. Join Carley Garner, an experienced futures and options broker with DeCarley Trading, to discuss creative ways to mitigate tail risk in day trading using options, and in turn improve emotional stability in trading. Talking points will include:

Steps to keeping a clear mind and proper psychological preparation for trading.
Buying cheap insurance policies against trades on awry.
Examples of panic-driven trading and tips to avoid being a victim.
The most important quality of a successful trader.

Jim Cramer and Carley Garner went Off the Charts in the S&P 500

Published in: DeCarley Trading Press

Mad Money host, Jim Cramer, consulted with futures broker, Carley Garner, in December about the fate of the US stock market using the E-mini S&P 500 chart; they revisited the topic on February 12th. 

 

Cramer: Charts show steady investor optimism, more upside for stocks from CNBC.

 

"Remember, ... Carley Garner has been dead-right, and the charts, as interpreted by Carley, suggest that this market still has some more upside here," Cramer continued. "But if we get a few more days like this wild one, she thinks we'll need to start worrying about irrational exuberance. For now, though, she thinks we are headed higher, and I agree."
