    15 nov US session

    longed gold @ 935pm
    profit : -3t. ok
    gold is sleepy. it needs to rest.
    good night gold.

    yesterday hog went down alot. today it might want to rest.
    US index futures - ranging but tradable.
    currencies - moved already.
    crude oil - wait for coming news

    seems like not much trading opportunities but better be alert.

    signal missed :
    long natural gas @810pm.

    21 nov europe session

    longed crude oil @244pm.
    quite safe signal as crude oil, Heating oil, RB gasoline are moving in tandem.

    avoiding all other US based futures like curencies, gold, copper ....
    they are all sleeping with small range.
    eurex btp, bund appears uptrend. but not taking this risk.


    Asian index futures went up alot esp HangSeng.

    cont ....

    shorted crude oil @840pm, reverse down.
    profit : -ve. OK
    I think it is going to sleep.


    Today should be quite an easy day to earn money.

    live cattle and lean hog futures have been rather tradable recently.
    must focus on that.

    copper is trending up. unfortunately, retracement pattern is messy.

    22 nov asian session

    yesterday many very long blue candles from asian/eur/US index futures.
    so today, high probability index futures might want to take a rest.
    but then, there might be signal to go north or even south.
    just have to be alert.

    longed taiwan index @1010am


    signal missed :
    long crude oil @ 9:31min 50 sec

    sigh .... failed to chase after the market.
    for this time of market, must buy at whatever price the market is offering
    no matter how bad the price is.
    Because the whole world is very keen to buy oil due to whatever that's going to happen in OPEC mtg

    22 Nov Europe session

    Most of US based futures (currency, copper) not moving.
    perhaps big boys waiting for coming fomc meeting minutes.
    but then big boys might decide to take action before the minutes.
