    13 jun Eur session

    what happened during asian session?
    Most futures sleeping except sgx simsci and soya bean


    eur session - should be quite straight forward analysis

    italy and germany bonds - day range getting smaller and smaller.

    eur gbp - day chart seems to show these futures are ranging

    gold - coma stage. almost brain dead
    jpy - lifeless

    copper es ym nq - sleeping.

    wonder if there will be any trigger to wake up all these sleeping futures.


    just now I went for super long tea break.
    perhaps I should go for super long tea break again till FOMC meeting.

    13 jun FOMC session

    USD went up a tiny tiny bit, ZB down probably just a little bit.
    luckily managed to catch NQ going down.

    hmmm. gold getting more and more letargic. perhaps gold suffering from old age
    arthritis problem? copper appears more younger and energetic.

    my mistake ... shouldn't have taken all the super long tea breaks just now,
    and wake up in the middle of the night trading fomc.
    nowadays fomc meeting getting less and less eventful.
    perhaps fomc meeting getting monotonous?

    back to sleep again. 4 more hours before Asian market opens.
    But I doubt Asian market will move much, considering how uneventful FOMC meeting was.

    19 jun Eur session

    quick writeup

    eurex fbtp down,
    exurex fgbl fgbx up.
    dax down, eur gbp down,
    HO, RB, crude oil down,
    copper, es ym rty nq all down since Asian session. so too late to enter now.

    soya seems not going down?
    gold - it seems to be sleeping after long red candle on 15 jun. good night gold.
    dax - gapped down. dont like trading dax today.
    T bond ZB - i don't see many people trading it today

    there are tens of signals during today asian and eur sessions.
    who knows, during US session no more signal?
    no time to write properly.
    no more space to create more ladders.

    21 jun eur session

    italy btp bond , german bund bond, dax - day range getting smaller.

    eur gbp jpy gold copper day range getting smaller
    USD appears to be strengthening again?

    soya day range getting smaller after 19 Jun super move.
    seems like it has found its comfort zone.

    HO RB crude oil - healthy day range. in fact, yesterday lots of signals due to swing up and down movement perhaps due to the coming opec meeting.

    ES YM RTY NQ and Nikkei - as usual, trend already started during asian session.
    Interestingly Hangseng went down alot during today asian session due to whatever don't know what reason.
    hmmm. seems like this US - China trade war affects Nikkei more than sgx china A50 index.

    haha. my analysis mostly very different from CNBC news.

    shorted ym @ 200pm
    shorted NQ @ 200pm

    21 jun US session

    hmmm. don't know why US index dropped so much.
    probably Hangseng dropped first for whatever reason (see earlier posting). then the rest follows.
    anyway, don't bother to know the reason

    philly manufacturing data was very bad, might be part of it
    Also just saw this

    Supreme Court decision on tax on internet retailers helps to send stocks lower
    The Supreme Court has decided states can force online retailers to collect sales tax. Some online retailers already do that. Amazon apparently has collected taxes on many products it sells, but smaller retailers have not. As a result, their price will likely go higher (all in). The decision levels the playing ground vs. brick-and-mortar businesses and also is a boon for state tax collections.
    The decision has sent stocks lower and with it the USDJPY. The S&P is down one is 15.32 points or -0.55%. The NASDAQ is down -0.81%. The Dow is down -0.71%.
