    13 Feb US session

    managed to long copper, short crude oil, long jpy just now.

    US index futures - it appears to be moving in a big range.
    gold - very messy
    xbt bitcoin - not tradable. still in bear flag formation. volume and day range getting smaller and smaller.
    energy futures - going down.

    shorted NQ @955pm.
    ok. now have to concentrate on trading

    14 Feb US session

    CPI news impact:
    sigh ... just now gold went down in 1 min,
    US index futures down in 2 minutes.

    Even if you have super fast brain and click your mouse super fast,
    you wouldn't be able to catch any signal due to
    internet traffic jam, delay, lag blablabla.
    perhaps those who manage to profit from it are auto program traders.

    looks like no more opportunity.

    xbt bitcoin - trying to reach 10k level? well, few more inches to go before it reaches 10k level.
    will wait patiently for the next signal to short.

    19 Feb Asian session

    will probably focus on simsi , NK and India NIfty as other asian index futures are close for holiday.
    xbt bitcoin- past 2 weeks day range rather pathetic. up momentum still strong.
    really not worth scrutinising xbt. there are many other better things to trade.

    USD based - it tends not to move during Asian session. Anyway, have to monitor.

    longed YM @805am

    20 feb Asian session

    straight forward sesion.
    @945am, ES, YM, RTY, NQ, Hangseng, china A50, India Nifty, taiwan index, perhaps nikkei,
    even gold, copper, crude oil

    all went down together.

    all these futures are looking at each other.
    what a synchronised markets.

    long hangseng reversal up @1018am
    profit: 1 tick.

    OK. time for nice lunch.
