    20 Sep Asian session.

    crude oil futures dropped from 90.8 to 89.5 ie 1.5% drop.

    Let's hear the latest from CNBC :
    OIL
    Oil prices rise on concerns over tightening supply
    PUBLISHED TUE, SEP 19 20239:56 PM EDT
    Oil prices rose in early trade on Wednesday, hovering near 10-month highs hit the previous day, as a bigger-than-expected draw in U.S. oil stockpiles and weak U.S. shale output reinforced fears of tight crude supply for the rest of 2023.

    I have been using tws for many years.
    TWS used to have lots of problems.
    Past few years, it has been rather stable.
    I have not tried the web version.

    I find the web version to be less laggy.

    This week the market only moves during US Open.
    Not sure if I should trade the ranges with S/R or just close the charts and do something else.

    13 Oct 2023 was a significant day.
    Because of Israel / Hamas war, gold and crude oil moved significantly.

    16 Oct
    The market was alive with gold, oil, index futures .... moving

    17 Oct
    Most futures day ranges have decayed very badly.

    The Asian session is quite quiet.
    There is some movement from
    China A50 and Taiwan index.

    The European session is very dead with no trading opportunity.
    There is a high chance the US session is going to be dead unless there is some
    big news/events like
    major earnings surprises
    major change/addition to Israel/Hamas war



    The good thing about such a dead market
    is that I don't have to crack my head analyzing the charts.


    I wouldn't trade a dead or choppy / messy market.

    19 Oct Thailand SET50 Futures

    SET50 Trend continuation (in the direction of the gap)
    is quite common.
