    my position
    eurusd profit : few tens of ticks +ve. good
    gold profit : +ve. good
    dax profit : zero. good. trend started many hours ago.
    so position flattened.
    eurex btp : few ticks +ve. good

    longed copper @ 900pm, reversal up
    profit : zero. good

    shorted russell @910am
    profit : zero. position flattened before PPI news

    shorted gold @ 945pm



    signal missed
    long gold @430pm, reversal up

    short RB gasoline
    hmmmm. still wondering how people trade RB.
    they are either spreaders, algo traders, fundamentalers,
    or they trade blind folded with huge stop loss.

    15 nov Asian session

    sigh ... yesterday slept far too early.
    hog, copper, cattle, crude oil, HO, RB gas were down.
    Perhaps big boys already decided what to do before news (eg inventory , supply/demand news) were out. or perhaps big boys already knew about Supply demand data.

    anyway, not important to know all these. just pull trigger when there is signal.

    HKF started Iron ore trading.
    iron ore futures day range fantastic (4%).
    well. let's see how is the volume.
    SGX iron ore volume is not that great


    hmmm. Audusd trying to move? audusd usually doesn't move


    shorted audusd @840am.
    a little risky because its retracement pattern is not that clear

    longed gbpusd @300pm


    shorted dax @325pm
    profit : zero. just realised dax might not be lead.

    signal missed :
    short US index futures @900am

    gold, jpy, copper, energy futures appear to be sleeping. will not disturb them.
    but have to be alert because they might wake up suddenly
