    6 dec US session

    longed Natural gas @845pm
    profit : 0. ok

    US index futures. movement during asian and european sessions very messy.
    wonder if Americans will make its pattern nicer.
    curriencies and gold - small range.

    already subscribed to CBOE market data.
    now can plot VIX charts. Obviously I am waiting to plot BTC charts
    BTC day range should be super wide.

    ha. luckliest person; I set Natural Gas target profit at 2.843 ie 40 ticks and I got it.

    seems like bund, btp, dax, currencies, energy all sleeping.
    they might be waiting for something. wondering what is that.
    well. then we'd better sleep too.

    8 dec Eur session


    shorted gbp @302pm, reduced quantity since I missed 2.51pm signal.
    profit : -ve. catching first signal extremely important.

    missed NQ long signal @1230pm.
    Nowadays US index futures trends to move during early / mid eur session.
    Then during US session, it sleeps.

    gold decided to sleep after yesterday long red candle.
    perhaps waiting for NFEC news.
    but things might change. so have to be alert.

    after subscribing to CBOE data, I can study S&P 500 VIX futures.
    VIX can really really sleep for months !!!
    will classify that as coma stage.
    It will wake up when recession starts. good night VIX.

    excited to plot the CBOE bitcoin chart.
    Perhaps I should get a new 50" monitor display in potrait format to allow for massive price movement

    11 dec CBOE bitcoin trading
    [​IMG]

    there was signal at 836am UTC+8.

    Wouldn't be trading bitcoin till few days/weeks later and until we can
    short bitcoin.
    not worth trying to force ourselves to long and long.

    volume is rather low for comfort and movement jerky.
    so ended up candles very long and spiky.

    for following case, can achieve reward risk ratio of > 4:1

    hmmm. come to think about it.
    its movement, pattern, characteristics quite similar to heating oil and RB gasoline.

    11 dec Eur session


    longed Natural gas @10.00am

    bund, dax, eur , jpy , gold, copper appears to be rather sluggish and range bound recently.
    even gbp is range bound though its range is big.
    crude oil, heating oil- already 2 days of blue candles.
    XBT bitcoin - it has completed its uptrend (at least for today). seems like it is easier to trade than heating oil and RB gasoline.
