    my eurex btp

    No problem. I can easily earn back.

    3 Nov preparation for trading NFEC news

    most markets have quietened down and are waiting for the coming news.
    will focus on eurusd, gbpusd, jpyusd, gold, US index futures.
    later focus on cattle futures.

    Later market might be one directional, it might move violently,
    it might swing up swing down.
    At times, have to chase after the price no matter how bad the price is because everyone is chasing after the price..

    now time for mind exercise, visualisation, psycho cybernectics exercise

    shorted gold @835pm, reverse down
    profit : 0. ok
    seems like NFEC impact is minimal

    longed gold @ 930pm
    flatten at zero profit. not worth the risk.
    quite poor intercorrelation.
    gold appears to be in tight zone


    see how cattle futures gapped up with huge gap.
    some strange things happening

    6 nov european session

    back from short vacation.

    Day trading is simple.
    Simply pull trigger when there is continuation signal, reversal signal.
    don't fear whether is is genuine or fake signal; simply pull trigger first.
    don't care whether reversal is actually retracement or true reversal; simply pull trigger first.
    The moment you make it complex, very difficult to earn money.


    I see that natural gas gapped up alot,
    Hangseng went down lot, also reverse up alot,
    and HO and RB are moving.
