Don't trade futures or options, but want access to the DeCarley Perspective?

We strive to provide straight-to-the-point and honest market commentary, even if our opinions ruffle feathers. The DeCarley Perspective, written by commodity market analyst Carley Garner, offers a refreshing and comprehensive perspective on the financial and commodity markets. For decades, the DeCarley Perspective, a commodity trading newsletter written by Carley Garner, was available exclusively to DeCarley Trading brokerage clients and trial subscribers. However, many of our followers don't necessarily trade futures and options or live in a part of the world that prevents them from doing business with us, such as Canada. Thus, we are introducing a subscription-based model to access our market analysis, chart work, insights, and even trading recommendations.

ELECTION RISK REDUCTION AND DAY TRADING MARGIN CHANGES

ELECTION RISK REDUCTION AND DAY TRADING MARGIN CHANGES 

We encourage clients to strongly consider lightening their risk and margin load for next week's election. While we can't predict or control the outcome, or more importantly, how the market reacts to the outcome, we can control which positions are open going into Tuesday. For those of you trading large quantities in high concentration, it is probably a good idea to have hedges (maybe long options or micro futures). If you are unsure of whether your portfolio is too aggressive, please reach out to us for help.
