    11 jun eur session

    just now busily trading eurex italy bond.

    german bond - not moving.
    es ym nq - going up but in agonising manner. might be up due to Hangseng index / nikkei.
    dax - seems more like laggard.

    usd based ( eur gbp gold copper) seems to be sleeping.

    crude oil / HO / RB gas- chart pattern seems to tell us it needs to sleep for few more hours.

    OK. time for nap then exercise.

    good night futures.

    im taking note of how gold held it’s ground when the dollar rallied. Now it looks like the dollar is going to roll over (not completely clear yet) and gold is coiling up. I went long on gc before the market opened today. We will see what happens. The stop is an eyelash away (for a positional buy), so why not? I was able to slingshot the buy on a mean reversion play.

    I’m still trying to figure out bonds.

    12 jun US session

    hang seng performance today - fantastic swing up swing down movement probably due to Trump Kim summit thing.

    Italy and german bonds - it appears it has found its comfort zone.

    eur gbp jpy gold - it appears it has found its comfort zone

    ES YM RTY NQ - it appears it has found its comfort zone

    wonder when these futures are going to move decisively.

    HO, RB gasoline, crude oil, copper - all similar pattern ; went up and down during today european session.

    gold day range has been rather lousy over the past 1 mth. it used to hit > 100 ticks previously.
    Seems like today gold suffers from very severe coma and almost brain dead.

    Agreed. That’s why I think it’s coiling up and getting ready for vol. I’m hawking the 6j which tends to follow gold.

    there was nice reversal up signal few minutes ago (just after CPI news).
    I think should be able to profit $400 / lot.

    nowadays gold and 6J already divorced.
    occassionally gold and copper buddy buddy together.

    13 jun Asian session

    yesterday there were lots of reversal signals around the whole world.

    yesterday most asian index futures have very wide day range perhaps due to Trump Kim things.
    ES YM NQ copper all sleeping soundly perhaps they are waiting for something.
    sigh ... missed out many Russell 2000 signals yesterday.

    as usual, will not touch USD based.


    ok. time for my next hobby; how to hook up four 32" monitors to one computer and
    two 32" monitors to another computer. This should be a good setup for massive bear market.
    really no table space. seems like I have to get a computer with double graphic cards but I wonder the graphic cards are powerful enough to support four 32" monitors resolution.

    Got a Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti that handles 4 x 34" UltraWide LG's no problem.

    one GTX 750 Ti max digital resolution = 4096x2160.
    So two cards can support ( 4096x2160)* 2 = 8192x4320 resolution

    samsung 32" monitor U32H850 resolution 3840x2160.
    four 32" monitors total resolution = 15360 x 8640 resolution

    so two GTX 750 Ti can't support the 4 samsung 32" monitor resolution.
    I like the Samsung 32" U32H850 which is a new model.
    It is actually cheaper than the old model S32D850T, and resolution much better than old model.

    Definitely two GTX 750Ti can support four old model monitors S32D850T.

    ha! Geforce getting behind time.
