12 dec Asian session Asian index futures have been moving healthily past few weeks. So that continues to be main trading focus. aud, jpy day range has been rather small and will be small until the chart says otherwise. gold though on downtrend has small range too. pehaps US dollar based things are waiting for some event/trigger like fomc meeting or whatever. XBT appears to settle between 17400 and 18800
12 Dec India session shorted India nifty @1144am also Hangseng went down just now but signal was not obvious. must be some sudden news that triggers it. interestingly today xbt volume is virtually ZERO. seems like Gaincapital will be offering xbt for trading. sigh .... it is without leverage. last time I traded without leverage was > 2 or 3 decades ago !! OK. Now to top up my account drastically in preparation for the coming mother of all bitcoin bubble burst. UBS: Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are ‘the bubble to end all bubbles’
12 dec Eur session let's see how low India Nifty can go. these futures are sleeping; bund, dax, eur, jpy, nat gas, XBT. wonder when they will wake up. HO and RB gas suddenly went up @930am.
cont .... let's see how low India Nifty can go. indeed it moved further with reward : risk ratio of > 6:1. all futures sleeping. we can't wake them up. only big boys can wait them up. yawn. even xbt hardly move. seems like it is dead already. or perhaps something wrong with my charting software.
12 dec US session cattle and hog getting cheaper. yesterday NQ very messy, was up but signal not obvious. so very easy to lose money. Russell small range. gbpusd - open wedge formation? most other USD based futures (eur, jpy, gold, copper) sleeping. perhaps they are waiting for something. HO, RB - already moved this morning. so no more opportunity. xbt - almost zero pulse. or perhaps my charting software got problem.
It is still a mystery how people trade HO and RB. either they trade it blindfolded, or they have heart of steel.
13 dec Asian session missed shorting gold yesterday @950pm. this signal is not that obvious. have to improve detection capability. In simple term, there is at least one good signal in every single trading session. Asian index futures have been rather active. so lots of opportunities! crude oil, natural gas HO RB down yesterday. perhaps big boys took action before the coming oil/gas inventory news or whatever. xbt now trading in small range 17400 to 18800. volume rather pathetic. Will top up trading account significantly as margin requirement is 125% of bitcoin price. get ready for the ONCE IN A LIFE TIME, Mother of all bubble burst. have to set siren system when price hits certain level. max cboe xbt quantity we can trade is 5 lots. 1 lot margin requirement about $20K. 5 lots margin requirmenet about $100k. sigh .... not use to trading with negative leverage.
cont ... shorted hangseng @ 955am profit : zero. Ok. time for early lunch. will skip India session as most likely it will not move. Let's see how hangseng do after HK lunch.
