23 Sep US session preparation what moved so far ... USD based NG (is US getting very hot ?), copper, gold simsci, India nifty, and perhaps hangseng US session is the worst session to trade ; the charts will surely freeze even though volume is not that high. Generally, I find US session has the worst trendiness compare with Asian and European sessions. anyway, I wouldn't be trading it when daylight savings is over.
28 Sep summary # signals during early Asian session : 6 # signals during early Eur session : 3 # signals during early US session : 1 <<< worst session to trade US index futures uptrend started during 28 Sept Asian session (or rather last Fri US session ). movers were index futures, gbp and perhaps gold and NG.
30 Sept Asian session review what happened : NQ Hangseng went up decisively (probably due to China economic data). Then reverse direction decisively due to whatever reason. Other index futures also follow similar patterns. The market was trendy and healthy. Traders love such an easy to trade market. Most likely market will be kind to traders over the next few hours.
7 Oct US session preparation so far .... It is relatively easy to trade day. How nice if every day is that trendy and easy to trade. Movers were : Index futures : Taiwan Index futures, Hangseng, India Nifty, NQ, Thailand SET50. Interestingly Taiwan index moved decisively due to whatever reason. commodities : gold, copper, oil, Natural Gas US bond, Germany bond, gbp
21 Oct US session preparation Today is a very good day as the market is rather trendy. There were lots of signals too . big movers were: as usual index futures especially India Nifty, dax currencies like gbp USD based Commodities copper, NG, and perhaps oil & gold. Is copper trying to reach 3.32 level? currently, it is at 3.2 Is US session going to be trendy? No idea.
29 Oct summary the day is not over yet. Anyway, nowadays there are lots of signals. Make hay while the sunshine. Because soon there will be drought / famine. movers were: index futures like NQ, Taiwan index, China A50, Hangseng, India Nifty, dax commodities like crude oil, gold, copper, NG, HO, RBOB currencies like aud eur gbp bonds like Italy btp I managed to catch < 1/2 of the signals but that is good enough. very easy to earn $$$$ from such a trendy market. Hope the next few days, the market will continue to be that trendy. Which session (asian, eur, US) is the best for day trading? Most likely it is the European session. ie trade whole of eur session nonstop and without rest.
30 Oct Eur session preparation downtrend started during mid Asian session / Before Eur session. movers were : dax (not so tradable during Asian session due to low volume), US index futures, Hangseng, India nifty, oil, gold. The market has been trendy and that's great. better trade whole of Eur session with no meal breaks, no toilet breaks. I am sure the European traders will do likewise. Also trade heavily. set target profit at positive / negative infinity for at least 1 lot. Such easy to trade market only come once a while.
4 Nov ELECTION day trading what to trade US index futures - trade ES asian / eur index futures GBP AUD Copper US bond gold avoid trading NQ ( too chaotic !) the market will most likely swing up and down, swing up and down ... providing lots of opportunities. The market will move very rapidly. and the signal will come out of nowhere. so your fingers must be on the mouse at all times. order - most of the time, I will be using market order to enter (because the market is going to move extremely rapidly) and attach a stop order. stop loss - have to increase by 2 times Look out for intercorrelation because there will be lots of fake signals. The whole world is looking at intercorrelation among the various index futures, commodities, bonds, currencies etc etc etc
