    17 Apr Gilead news asian session - gap trading

    > fair value gap - es ES, NQ, China A50.
    most likely Hangseng will be in this category.
    ie no trading opportunity.

    > under gap - simsci. straight forward trade.
    Nikkei too.
    most likely Thailand S50 will under gap.

    > over gap - Taiwan index. then trade reversal.
    unfortunately we only have few mini seconds to react.


    of course we don't know what sort of gap until few mini seconds or few minutes after market opens

    Taiwan market doing rather well.
    It dropped from pre covid crisis level
    470 to low of 330 ie 30% decrease

    Then rise from low of 330 to current 410 ie 24% increase.

    17 Apr Eur session

    see how eager Hangseng wants to go down.
    let's see if it will go to where it started to climb up.

    India Nifty , simsci also on its way down.

    gold - rather chaotic movement.

    Hello Maxinger, how do you avoid trading sideways? Is there any way to anticipate?

    17 Apr before asian market opened , index futures were up significantly.
    subsequently

    - market continue to go up (eg India Nifty)

    - market reverse down (eg Hangseng)

    - market stay still / move erratically / chaotically / jerkily (eg ES)
    very difficult to trade such market.

    trendiness cannot be predicted.

    20 Apr crude oil (M contract) summary

    down @825am. max profit $1500 / lot

    reverse up @918am. max profit $ 750 / lot

    down again @432pm. max profit $1600 / lot

    reverse up @928pm. max profit $900 / lot
    after this there were quite a few land mines.

    max max profit : $4750 / lot.
    hmmm. this reminded me of Germany bond mths ago where
    max max profit could be around $10 000 / lot.


    for K contract, price reached $0 at 2:09:09 am.
    then it went down to $-40 at 89 degree gradient.

    21 Apr crude oil trading

    down @ 1025am. max profit : $550 per lot.

    down again @235pm. max profit : $9300 per lot.

    reversal up around 535pm. max profit : about $5000 per lot
    but very difficult to trade this reversal because
    traders / big boys / oil men became extremely violent / emotional / impatient
    ended up candlesticks extremely long and price movement very chaotic.
    In fact, the intense feeling started around 500pm.
    now we have to let these people cool down.

    max max profit : $19 000 / lot
    hmmm. seems like those days when Germany bonds were moving tremendously


    ha. I didn't manage to stretch profit.

    now let's see what Americans are going to do to the crude oil.
