    oil and gasoline price didn't go up much.

    seems like I might miss my 4 digits $$$$ target for today.
    earning too little $$$$ is unacceptable.

    OK. next session better be super alert.

    18 oct asian premarket analysis

    asian session - not many signals
    Europe and US sessions - many many signals

    DAY trading will overflow your cup.
    So grab the biggest biggest biggest one you can find.

    bad problem : problem in earning money.
    good problem : problem in spending money (because too much money).

    Day trading will give you big problem in spending money.

    Daily target : 4 digits (be it $1000, or $9999).

    gold profit 35 ticks

    shorted gbpusd @433pm, 13212
    profit : 30 ticks

    crude oil, HO, RB all sleeping soundly.
    don't know when it will wake up.
    it may be hours or days later.
    or perhaps they are waiting for coming inventory news.
    yesterday ES and NQ also sleeping soundly.
    When futures are sleeping, do not disturb them.
    Because if we do, futures will make sure we suffer losses.



    signal missed :
    short copper @ 139pm

    18 oct US session

    jpy, gold already moved. so very little opportunity left.
    copper, eurusd, gbpusd already sleeping after moving.
    I will not disturb sleeping futures.

    energy futures in tight range. waiting to breakout
    perhaps big boys waiting for coming news.

    cattle, hog futures range has been healthy.
    there is livestock report coming up.

    index futures. Russell has good potential to move.
    ES and NQ likes to sleep.

    anyway be on high alert because signal can come out of no where.

    19 Oct Asian session

    There is at least one good signal in every single trading sessions.
    It is up to us to detect that signal, pull the trigger and profit massively from it.

    will focus on Index futures. currencies, commodities appear not to move.
