    27 Oct Asian market

    Day trading always provide and will overfill your cup.
    So get the biggest cup possible.

    Which futures going to move later? I have absolutely no idea.
    And I have no intention of knowing it now.

    My strategy very straight forward.
    When there is any continuation or reversal signal, pull trigger first

    ie Fire first ! Check later !
    ie React first ! Think later !

    All signals based on chart pattern, price action.

    Avoid sleepy futures which have small range and move in jerky choopy garbage manner.

    India Nifty not moving. Perhaps it moved up yesterday.
    so now it needs to rest.

    Now let's see what the Germans going to do.

    shorted Hangseng @ 1.10pm 28400. reverse down.
    profit : +ve. good.
    straight forward reversal trade.
    down movement super fast.

    I actively trade ES futures also sPX cash
    DOW futures / Dow cash
    DAx Futs ./ cash
    FTSE - I find it boring and rarely trade that

    Ofcourse trade FX but primarily on Majors look at minors sometimes

    Oil gold silver and sometimes when set up correct than soya beans coffee corn " the greens as I cal them"


    At the moment DAX is on fire Superdrug Viagra - lets see where Fizzzles out may allign a nice short

    longed NQ @330pm, 610800, reduced quantity since stop level not that clear
    profit : zero. better flatten position since stop level unclear

    ha. forget I longed palm oil @ 335pm, 2830.
    this futures cannot set high reward risk ratio.
    profit : -ve. ok

    longed copper @420pm, 31300. reverse up.

    ok. now going for dinner. not going to worry about the trades.

    India Nifty, natural gas, crude oil, HO, RB gasoline - don't think it will move.
    anyway, must be alert.
    Most likely NG moved early this week days before inventory announcement.

    good for you mister.
    hope you longed DAX about 24 hours ago. It has been oscillating non stop since then.
    I missed the signal.
