Quadruple Witching

My apology to the Witch left out in the cold...
Quadruple Witching
I'm a little bit happy no one called me out on this and also a little bit sad because I've been teaching it for 7 years. I can blame my own personal lapse on senility... what's your excuse?
The difference between Triple Witching and Quadruple Witching is small -
Single Stock Futures
Believe it or not, we have an audience so diverse that many of our Partners as well as many members of our listening audience do in fact trade Single Stock Futures (SSF). Do not confuse Stock Futures with Stock Options as the latter is far more common. In fact, the SSF market has been somewhat slow to build a following. Keep in mind the S&P 500 Emini Futures took a while to gain traction but the comparison is akin to comparing an Apple(AAPL) to 500 Pieces of Misc. Fruit. (Get it?)
If our failure to alert you to the expiration of an SSF caused you monetary loss, then you and I both know you really shouldn't be trading Single Stock Futures and/or you need a really smart and fully licensed broker. Kapeesh?
If you need such an individual in your life, the good news is - We Have 2!

We only trust one firm with our Futures and Currency trades - Daniels Trading
Soybeans
What a tremendous week to be a Soybean Trader and to be on the right side of the market. Some of you may not know that CFRN acquired the Soybean Daytrader last year. We have kept the news somewhat under wraps but we are now moving from Alpha to Beta. Here are the trades from this week -
(ZSX2) November Soybeans
(ZSX2) November Soybeans
Combined, the 2 trades created a range of opportunity equivalent to a 109 Point Move in the S&P 500 Emini Futures. Is past performance an indication of future results? No.
Every trade must stand on its own merits. Period!
Drinking the Snake Oil of "past results" is quite often the beginning of the end.
Trading Vs. Investing
A Trader and an Investor are two very distinctly different animals. If you don't understand the difference, call Burt or Leslie and let them assist you in putting together a proper plan that makes sense for you and your personal goals.
If you click outside the realm of CFRN or Daniels Trading, We have no control over what may happen.
Every CFRN Partner has been encouraged to explore a relationship with Daniels Trading. Why? The link above is only one reason. Call me personally @ 415-857-5654 for "the rest of the story".
So beans were potentially good for $5K + on 1 contract. For those of you who trade 10 contracts I don't need to do the math because you're probably already out cashing your paycheck. YES?
Soybeans are coming off historic all time highs so volatility may soften. Whichever way the bean jumps, as the owners of Soybean Daytrader we are now committed to keeping you in the mix.
S&P500 Emini Futures
Rip Van Futures - zzzzzzzz
First we had a 60 year historic 8 point range in the S&P and now we have a CFRN Weekly Trading Zone record. Never before has the week opened, traded and closed inside of only one WTZ.
I don't know whether to sing Danny Boy or play Rock the Kasbah. I've settled for streaming this -

Is this a genetically modified market? Is the world coming to an end? Has the Pope ever been in the woods? We don't know the answers to those questions and we're not attempting (at this point) to infer anything more than a statistical anomaly the size of the Grand Canyon (in reverse). If you are a Technical Trader you're probably quite familiar with the term "Standard Deviation". What happened this week tweaked our SD from 7 to 1. In the grand scheme of things that has to mean something very significant.
We will spend the next week sorting out the data. If you would like to contribute to the Hive Mind as we sort out the anomaly, simply APPLY.
Our community would very much appreciate your input.
It's rare in the world of trading to make a statement such as -
"This has never happened before."
Geeks, Code Writers and Math Freaks at large know it is virtually impossible to make such a statement. However, we just did and we stand by it.
Come help us sort it out - APPLY!
Or pretend it never happened.
