    25 oct India session

    shorted India Nifty @ 1146am, 10330
    profit : +ve. good.
    straight forward reversal down signal.
    position closed within few minutes.
    for this trade, cannot stretch profit.
    Obviously something is happening in India.
    Whatever it is, not important to know.
    Just need to know how to detect signal, and pull trigger.

    missed signal because very careless with my ladder setup.

    HS and copper are friends friends. they hold hands together.

    25 oct US session

    gbpusd
    profit : +ve. good

    soyabean
    my position still open. it refuses to move.

    Now the 90% part of trading.
    Day trading will overflow your cup.
    Get the biggest cup possible.

    Now the 10% part of trading.

    This evening 1030pm, the is oil and petroleum inventory news.
    cattle futures up 2 day already.
    US index futures day range quite small. but just need to be alert because signal might come out of no where.
    This afternoon, copper and Hang Seng friend friend.
    eurusd might be waiting for thurs news.

    which futures going to move? absolutely no idea.
    as usual, be calm and alert,

    KEEP CALM
    AND
    CONTINUE TRADING.

    26 oct Asian session

    longed Nikkei @820am, 21775.
    Haven't trade NK for months. Is this trade going to be profitable ? absolutely no idea.
    just trade based on what you see on your chart.
    profit : zero. position flattened. not worth taking this risk.

    26 oct European session

    Asian index futures moved perhaps due to sgp news and China Xi's speech.

    These futures might want to sleep ;
    dax, eurusd, gbpusd, jpy, gold, crude oil, copper, heating oil, RB gasoline,
    perhaps bund and btp too.

    cannot disturb sleepy futures.
    but then, must be alert because signal can come out of no where.
