11 Sep US session preparation what happened so far ... The market has quietened significantly. major movers were : copper, GBP, Thailand SET50 copper has been moving massively. Its movement has been very trendy. NQ movement has been very untrendy / choppy. very unlikely the charts / trading platforms will freeze today.
11 Sep summary movers were : early Asian session - India Nifty early Eur session - copper <<<< super mover maximum profit : $1200 / lot - Thailand SET50 - GBP mid Eur session - GBP early US session - NQ but lots of land mines !!! day range still very good at 420 points but not worth trading NQ. typical day range about 200 points. The market has quietened significantly. No wonder charts / trading platforms didn't freeze.
Hi Maxinger, can I ask you a question? To choose futures with force for the day how do you do it? Look at the daily range? In an hour? Do you use a website?
Basically I focus on what has happened over the past few minutes to the past few hours. I'd divide the futures into various categories. Those futures that were known to move will probably move again and those futures that didn't move will probably not move over the next few days. For the 2nd category, it will move just that we don't know when. For these futures, I will trade with reduced quantity. eg of these are crude oil, bonds, Eurex STOXX50 Notice that my journal focuses very heavily on what has happened recently. It is because I want to be clear about what to focus on. There are futures that move once in a blue moon. eg corn, soya, wheat, short term bonds, exotic currencies ... I put all these charts in my archive workspace. I tried tick charts before. It didn't work for me.
15 Sep US session preparation US index futures, dax, Hangseng , Taiwan index futures already went up. how high will they go? No idea.
18 Sep Eur session preparation The market is extremely quiet. Is it the start of D day? So far, only China A50 moved. euro stoxx 50 - 99% chance it will not move today. It might break the record, and achieve the smallest day range .
