29 Nov Eur session finally the earth is spinning. Asian index futures were down decisively. Gold ( laggard ?) appears to go up. dax - waiting for retracement.

Kospi 200. how to trade it? initial margin 4kk krw overnight margin 8kk krw multiplier 250k opening time 9am to 345p 1 tick = 0.05 point so difficult to use Sierrachart. very difficult to have a feel how tradable Kospi200 is. Let me give one last final final attempt to use Sierrachart.
Cont .... well. my Sierra charts are more or less ready. Kospi200 typical day range around 2.5 not that great for day trading. anyway will monitor for few days. Korea 10 years bond. Now at 130. typical day range 0.4 point - relatively small compare with US, Germany, Italy bonds. Who knows, Koreans and US might exchange interesting Christmas presents.
Time to explore further with SierraChart and keep myself even more busy. Korea - Kospi 200 - 10 yr Korea Treasury Bond India - Nifty 50 - Nifty Bank - USDINR Japan exchange No plan Australia exchange No plan Thailand exchange No plan Taiwan exchange No plan Indonesia exchange No plan Middle East exchange No plan China - DCE Iron ore - SHFE INE crude oil, TSR 20 rubber - Shanghai Gold Exchange Comex gold Moscow Exchange ??? Brazil BMF Exchange ??? Greece, Nordic ... Exchange ??? seems like I need to get another big monitor.
13 Dec summary Asian session # signals - 3 Early Eur session # signals - 7 End Eur / Early US session # signals - 18 <<<<< extremely high!!!!! leads were US index futures. laggards were crude oil, gold, bonds, copper. US index futures swinged down then swinged up then swinged down creating multiple trading opportunities.
Sierra Chart vs Esignal Currently I am using Esignal. Occassionally, when the market is very very hot, Esignal would freeze for few minutes (like what happened on 12 Dec, at 936pm ). Obviously internet traffic was very very high. But then some charting s/w has been known to handle such situation rather well. I tried Ensign Charting s/w before. It was bad. I tried a proprietary charting s/w before and it was great! Perhaps time to subscribe to SC and see if it would freeze when it is under pressure.
Maxinger..congrats on still being able to try new things (Sierra charts). As I grow older I find I must push myself to accept change. Es
16 Dec US session what happened so far ... Asian session only one signal from Thailand SET50 Eur session only one signal from gbp. Even the major eur gbp flash services mfg data failed to wake up the market. Last Fri, there were 18 signals during end Eur /early US session ! Overall market has quietened significantly. So if there is no major event / news / situation coming up. US session might be dead.
