    Cont ...

    indeed just 1 signal during the early US session.
    Luckily I stopped trading early.
    If not, I would be gnashing my teeth and weeping


    what to focus on?
    index futures,
    bonds,
    perhaps hard commodities


    what to avoid?
    gold
    perhaps currencies

    strange ...

    what happened to Japan?

    NK down 3.6%. this is rare.

    OK. Japan PM is resigning.

    31 Aug US session

    what happened so far ....

    mega movers were :
    Taiwan index, India Nifty, China A50, Hangseng all down.
    we will probably know why these moved so much a few days later from the news reporters.

    sleepers were:
    dax, bonds, perhaps currencies and hard commodities

  7. You follow a lot of markets, maxinger.

    What's your favorite market(s) for each time zone?

    Asian session
    I focus mainly on Asian index futures & perhaps gold

    Eur & US session
    I focus on asian / Eur / US index futures,
    hard commodities (gold, copper, NG, crude oil ...),
    main currencies,
    long term bonds

    I keep an archive list too.
    There are lots of things which are not very good for day trading.
    The list includes
    food commodities (soya, lean hog, wheat, ...)
    hard commodities like silver, PL, PA, HO RB, palm oil, rubber, iron ore ...
    other currencies like Chinese Renminbi
    short term bonds
    various MSCI / FTSE indices.
    Occasionally I might trade these things.

  9. Thanks, maxinger.

    To get more specific - which stock index in Asia and Europe?

    I've considered adding in an Asian index, but not sure if it's practically possible for me.
