Trading Futures on FOMC Day

The following are my PERSONAL suggestions on trading during FOMC days:

 

·    Reduce trading size

·    Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade

·    Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 3925.00 with a stop at 3919.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 3919.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example (consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).

·    Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement

·    Expect to see some “vacuum” (low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.

·    Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.

·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.

·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues

·    Be patient and be disciplined

·    If in doubt, stay out!!

Futures Trading Intraday Spreads

Intraday Spread Trading?

One trading strategy worth considering for stock index traders is spread trading, where a single position in the market consists of the simultaneous purchase of one futures contract and sale of a related futures contract. In spread trading, the strategy involves gauging how the price difference between two futures contracts—the spread—will change. Spread trading is focused more on the price difference between the two contracts – often highly correlated – and less on the prices of the outright contracts themselves. One basis for employing spread trading is that it can be easier to take advantage of price discrepancies between two stock index futures than to predict price movements in either of the underlying contracts. Some of the most invested players in futures trading – and arguably the most sophisticated – include large speculators and commercial firms regularly employ spreads.

 

Because spread trades involve both a long and a short position in contracts that are related to each other, they are generally viewed as less volatile and therefore less risky than an outright position in a single contract. Additionally, since spread positions generally reflect lower market risk, there are lower margin requirements. For example, as of this blog post, the spread between one E-mini S&P 500 futures contract and one E-mini Nasdaq receives a 70% reduction from their combined initial margin requirements. The spread between the E-mini S&P 500 and the E-mini Dow Jones receives an 88% reduction in their combined initial margin requirements.

Gold to Silver Ratio + Futures Trading Levels for April 19th 2023

What is the Gold to Silver Ratio?

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

As inflation has taken the top step in conversations about the global economy and the resultant effects that longer term inflation has on purchasing power we have begun to witness precious metals prices rise for a number of reasons. I suggest current demand for these metals are reflecting inflationary hedges, deflationary protection, supply constraints and Geopolitical uncertainty, especially in the age of Fiat currency. Many “Gold Bugs” follow what is called the Gold /Silver ratio. The gold-to-silver ratio is a measure of how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. It is calculated by dividing the current price of gold by the current price of silver.

Historically, the gold-to-silver ratio has fluctuated widely. In ancient Rome, the ratio was set at 12:1, meaning it took 12 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold. In the 20th century, the ratio averaged around 47:1, but has ranged from as low as 16:1 during times of economic prosperity to as high as 100:1 during times of economic crisis.

Today, the gold-to-silver ratio is often used as an indicator of economic health. When the ratio is low, it is seen as a sign of a strong economy and bullish market sentiment, as investors are willing to take on more risk and invest in silver. When the ratio is high, it is seen as a sign of economic uncertainty or a bearish market sentiment, as investors flock to gold as a safe-haven asset.

Today the Ratio is @ 79.83 and dynamic. Here is graphical representation of 100 years of data provided by Macrotrends.com

It’s important to note that the gold-to-silver ratio is just one indicator among many that investors use to assess market conditions, and should not be relied on in isolation.

After two days of very light volume in stock index futures, I suspect tomorrow will be a different ball game.

CPI Tomorrow! The CPI will be critical to the inflation outlook for Fed policymakers.

Previous CPI reports have created velocity logic events in the stock indices at the CME.

Please read more details about velocity logic and price banding HERE.

The above reports will Bookend the FOMC minutes release @1pm CT on tomorrow.

If you recall the FED Meeting Black out period was before the Bank issues so don’t expect too much verbage about the banking situation in this report.
