Anyone else get stuck in a trade today?

Recommended Posts

As of now I am stuck a quarter position in the YM due to trading halted on the CBOT.

 

Entry at 11731 and trading halted at 11748.

 

Anyone run into this problem today? Unbelievably this has never happened for me. Do markets gap when trading halts?

Trading halted at 11748 today. When the markets resumed, prices opened at around 11775 and lifted rapidly to 11790 without pausing.

 

I exited at 11788 due to uncertainty. Always good to be flat when you don't quite know what will happen.

 

So anytime trading halts due to technical issues, look for futs to start at cash + premium.

James,

How exactly did you hedge your YM position during exchange down?

Hedging using ES is another way. I am not familiar with options trading, but I am thinking if it is possible to use options to hedge YM during exchange down..

The ES is one way to hedge it. If you're short the YM and the exchange goes down, just go long the ES. They move identical to each other so by the time the exchange goes back up, you'll most likely be break even. You can avoid a large loss this way. Perhaps you can hedge by taking some positions in some ETF's as well. The QQQQ's or the SMH might be good for a hedge.

 

I've never traded options so I would not know.

Man, that CBOT, they seem to halt every 4 months. I witnessed 2 already in last 6 months and one spike about 6 months ago that no one seemed to explain. Seems more unreliable than CME, IMO. Another reason not to trade YM.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
