Man, I’ve been staring at my screen all day, and let me tell you, my eyes are starting to feel it. I had this idea, a hunch really, about whether futures trading was just a bloodbath today. So, I dove in.
My Little Experiment
First, I fired up my trading platform. You know, the usual one with all the charts and numbers. Then, I started pulling up different futures contracts – the big ones like E-mini S&P, crude oil, gold, you name it.
My plan was simple: check the daily performance of a bunch of these contracts and see if they were all, or mostly, in the red.
- Opened the platform.
- Brought up various futures contracts.
- Checked daily charts.
- Looked for lots of red.
I spent a good chunk of time just clicking through and observing. Switched between different timeframes, you know, just to get a better feel. And, honestly, it was kind of a mixed bag. Some were down, some were up, some were just kinda…flat.
I even jot down some notes, you know. Like the range of the price movements.
What I Found
So, after all that, was everything in the red? Nope. Not even close. It was pretty varied, actually. Definitely not the across-the-board sell-off I was half-expecting. My “is future in all red?” question was answered pretty clearly: it ain’t all red.
It just goes to show, sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty and see for yourself. My initial thought, my hypothesis, whatever you wanna call it, didn’t really pan out. But hey, that’s the markets for you, always keeping you on your toes!
