Weekly Futures Recap with Mike Seery

We’ve asked Michael Seery of SEERYFUTURES.COM to give our INO readers a weekly recap of the Futures market. He has been Senior Analyst for close to 15 years and has extensive knowledge of all of the commodity and option markets.

Michael frequently appears on multiple business networks including Bloomberg news, Fox Business, CNBC Worldwide, CNN Business, and Bloomberg TV. He is also a guest on First Business, which is a national and internationally syndicated business show.

Currency Futures--- Currency futures had a very solid week against the U.S dollar with the Euro currency trading higher for the 5th consecutive trading session hitting an 8 month high trading far above its 20 and 100 day moving average with the next resistance at 134 currently trading at 1.3175 up another 87 point continuing its bullish momentum despite the problems in Europe people are feeling more confident about the fact that the European problems might be over at least in the short term. The Dollar Index has been lower 3 out of the last 4 trading sessions down this Friday afternoon by about 40 points trading far below 20 &100 day moving average which is always a bearish indicator in my opinion hitting an 8 week low with the next major support at 79.20 and then major support at the contract low which was hit on September 14th of this year at 78.95 on fears that the government is going to continue to print money here in the United States which is pressuring the dollar against all the foreign currencies in recent weeks. If you look at the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and the Mexican Peso they are all moving higher against the dollar while the Mexican Peso is actually making contract highs but the only currency that is not gaining on the U.S dollar is the Japanese Yen which continues to fall out of bed due to the fact that the Japanese government wants a lower Japanese yen although today finishing slightly higher but made new contract lows 5 straight trading sessions currently trading at 11995 and looking to continue its bearish momentum possibly down the 105 level in my opinion over the next couple of months.

Orange Juice looks to be the big story right now in the commodity markets.

There is a citrus greening bacteria that is causing the Oranges to rot and this year is the worst year for that since 1969 - 1970.

Orange Juice looks to have made the breakout of a Cup with Handle pattern and all 3 MarketClub Trade Triangles, daily, weekly, and monthly were green as the price broke out of the pattern. Continue reading "Chart to Watch - Orange Juice"

New Video: What are you doing for "Silly Season"

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 14th of December.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THE SILLY SEASON?
Well silly season officially starts tomorrow and goes through to the first week of January. This is when the markets become unpredictable and very thinly traded as most professional traders have left to go on vacation or to enjoy the season with their families. As for myself I'm off on a cruise over silly season and what I consider a well-deserved break from the markets. Every year it's good to have a solid break from the markets and come back refreshed.

What do you have planned for silly season? If you haven't voted already please vote on our poll. It's so was interesting to see what everyone is doing. As for the markets I expect them to get quieter and thinner until the second week in January when market action and volume begins to pick up. If you're following any one of our three portfolios you'll simply stick with the game plan as it has been proven time and time again that this strategy works.

Poll: Silly Season starts today, so be prepared

About a year ago I wrote a blog on the "silly season," as I call it. The silly season starts on December 15 and extends through the first week of January. The silly season has nothing to do with telling jokes and laughing at funny things, but everything to do with trading.

Trading is a serious business. If you want to be successful you have to practice, just like an athlete would. I don't think there is an athlete out there who just woke up and said I'm going to be a world-class athlete and achieved that goal without practicing.

After December 15 most successful traders who made their money during the year are headed to either Florida, Palm Springs, or just taking a break to spend time with family.

What makes the silly season, silly?

It has everything to do with the lack of volume in trading. When you have very little volume it is easy for markets to be, forgive me because I am about to say the M word - manipulated - by just a few traders. You do not want to be ending your year at the mercy of markets that are erratic at best. You may as well just head out to Las Vegas and take a shot at the roulette wheel.

So how can you avoid this trading trap? Here's what I do every year: Continue reading "Poll: Silly Season starts today, so be prepared"
