cont ... again Taiwan Index is leading the way down. Few days ago, Taiwan Index was leading the way up.
19 Dec summary of movers asian session : Taiwan Index ** (down it goes again on 20 Dec) Hangseng simsci (laggard ) Eur session : India nifty ( it broke the record and achieved all time high ) Thailand SET50 ** ( excellent day range of 1.8% ) US and Germany bonds (continuation signal from previous day ) US session NG ( it barely made it) gbp ** (open wedge formation ) ES NQ ** star performer
20 Dec US session what happened so far ... Only index futures were moving : Taiwan index Hangseng (laggard ) Thailand SET50 dax and to some extend NQ commodities, bonds, gold, oil ...... all sleeping
cont ... This NQ (and ES ...) trend started in mid Eur session. Index futures are in the hurry to go up. seems like copper & crude oil not following
20 Dec summary sigh .... All these Cloud thing messed up my Esignal charts. I have to spend few hours cleaning up the mess caused by the cloud. let me remove all the trouble making cloud. Asian session : main movers were Taiwan index Hangseng (laggard) Eur session : main movers were NG (limited movement ) Thailand SET50 NQ ES DAX Germany bond US session : main movers were crude oil gbp major holidays coming up. will be going for short holiday.
23 Dec Eur session what happened so far ... China A50 down (quite unexpected actually) Thailand Set50 swing down then swing up. Lately Thailand Set50 has been rather trendy due to whatever reason. Palladium swing down then swing up . I don't trade Pal anyway due to its low volume and huge margin requirement. gold bonds trying to going up
2 Jan 2020 preparation Big boys haven't eaten ( or rather haven't trade ) for many days. so on 2 Jan 2020, market will surely move alot. For such market, I'd trade heavily. which futures will move? Index futures (exclude Nikkei. Japan has been extremely stable) the bonds gold, oil, HO, RB gbp perhaps copper which futures will sleep? They are very lazy. They only move once a while. Bitcoin major currencies except gbp exotic currencies all food futures What are the things to fear ? same old thing like - internet disconnect problem - time lag problem causing charts and trading platforms to freeze. _____________
