    ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...WHAT DO GAP TRADERS WANT? What exactly are gap traders looking for? For those unfamiliar with gap trading, a price gap occurs when there is a significant difference in the closing price of the previous session relative to the opening price of the following session. A gap is described by its direction; for instance, you might hear traders refer to a gap with an increase in price as a "gap up" or a "gap higher." A sharp decrease in price from the previous session close is known as a "gap down" or a "gap lower." Price gaps used to be common in commodities due to abbrev...

    ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...HEDGING PRICE RISK Is there a way to hedge price risk in the futures market without giving up potential for favorable price movement? The goal of a perfect hedge is to eliminate the price risk exposure in any particular market. In doing so, however, the end user also gives up any favorable price movement. Hedging is like any other form of insurance; consumers pay a premium to insurance companies to protect themselves from unfavorable events that will likely never occur. In other words, it isn't possible to enjoy the benefits of protection without giving something up. Bu...

The US Dollar Index (DX) futures contract, traded on the Intercontinental Exchange (Ic e), could be one of the most underrated futures products on the board. Let's face it, traders are human and humans have an undeniable tendency to migrate toward the comfortable. Unfortunately, the dollar index is the oddball of the currency futures complex, simply because it doesn't trade on the cm e Group with the others, and it carries different contract specifications. Nonetheless, it offers traders some a...

If you recall from the April 2010 column, we discussed the implications of government regulation, dealing desks, and counterparty risk when it comes to deciding between currency speculation in the futures or forex markets. However, there are a few other things to keep in mind, such as the true costs, liquidity, margin, and access to options.

Commentators often use contango in reference to the commodity markets because it sounds exciting. The true meaning of the word is less than thrilling; in fact, it is downright normal. Contango is a scenario in which spot (current delivery) commodity prices are trading at a discount to prices displayed in the futures markets (future delivery). To fully understand the word's meaning, you must recognize what causes such a price relationship. There are essentially two separate, yet related, mar...

On March 26, 2004, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) listed a futures contract with its volatility index (Vix), often referred to as the fear index, as the underlying asset. Although the Vix has been in existence for some time, it wasn't always tradable via futures contracts. As is the case with any new listed product, liquidity has been an issue for Vix speculators; however, volume and open interest are on the rise. That said, don't make the mistake of attempting to trade the miniversion of the Vix. It is c...

All markets, whether we are talking about cars, houses, groceries, stocks, currencies, futures, or options, have two prices at any given time. There is a price at which an asset can be purchased and one at which it can be sold. In the world of trading, the difference is known as the bid/ask spread. The spread between the two prices is the compensation that the executor requires to accept the risk involved in making a market. For instance, your ...

    ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Futures For You by Carley Garner ON SPREADS What is a futures spread? The terminology involved in futures spread trading often seems like a foreign language. This can cause those who aren't familiar with the practice to misinterpret the vocabulary. Despite the complexity of the topic on the surface, once you understand a few key concepts, you will gain an immediate understanding. A futures spread is a trade in which opposite positions are taken in similar futures contracts. Simply put, it is the purchase of one commodity and the sale of another related commodity with the intention of profi...

Figuring in Treasury options often causes confusion for two primary reasons. First, both options and futures in Treasuries are traded in fractions. Second, unlike other commodities and financial futures, bond and note options differ in the manner in which they are quoted from their futures contract counterparts. Before you can understand how to calculate Treasury options,...

This is a decision that is often made with little research or thought but has the potential to have the biggest impact on the bottom line.

Making a mistake in the choice of your service level can be costly. An inexperienced trader opting f...

There are many more participants in the equity markets than there are in futures, and people tend to gravitate to what they are most familiar with. However, convenience and familiarity aren't necessarily optimal.

Given the economic turmoil we are experiencing, I have been asked this question often. Before I answer, there are a few points I would like to make. I have yet to find a scenario in which it is appropriate to use the word "safe" when trading in options and futures. There are strategies in which risk can be relatively low, but in my opinion, "safe" implies there is no risk, and that isn't the case.

This is a personal preference and the decision should be made independently for each market. Several years ago, overnight sessions were extremely thin and often resulted in stops being triggered that arguably shouldn't have been. However, as the electronic markets have become more popular and trading increasingly global, the liquidity in the overnight sessions has picked up dramatically in most markets. The volume improvements make working stop orde...

    ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Futures For You by Carley Garner WHY TRADE FUTURES? Many beginning commodity traders are migrants from the world of stock trading, but before making the transition they often ask why they should trade futures. The answer is simple, but the decision to move forward isn't. No interest on leverage: The futures market is a convenient venue for speculators in that the leverage is high and the ability to buy or sell in any order is abundant. Unlike equity traders who must borrow shares of stock from their brokerage firm before short-selling and are then subject to interest charges, futures trade...

The futures exchanges have effectively doubled, even tripled, if not more, the margin required to hold many popular futures contracts. It wasn't that long ago that the margin on a full-sized corn futures was near $400; now, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) requires that you have at least $2,025 in your account before putting on a contract.

In fact, typically, most options that are more than two strike prices out-of-themoney, in the direction opposite of the overall trend, and with fewer than 45 days until expiration, expire worthless. As a result, constant awareness of support and resistance levels is cruc...
