    yesterday super star performers go to heating oil, RB gasoline, crude oil.
    yesterday day range :
    heating oil - 4.1%
    RB gasoline - 5.0%
    crude oil - 4.8%
    as usual, chart typically lead the news.

    yesterday most asian index futures, Russell 2000, NQ day range quite healthy.

    gold up 158p
    nq down 128p

    energy reverse up 330p
    Italy btp up 618p<<<< star performer

    so far ES YM appear to be sleeping, and RTY NQ more active;
    quite similar behaviour for the past 2 days.

    18 jul Eur session

    today asian session - no good signal.
    Such situation is extremely extremely rare.

    yesterday eur gbp gold long red candle.
    german buxl - inside day. yesterday small day range.
    italy btp - yesterday long blue candle due to some news.
    yesterday NQ and to some extent dax long blue candle.
    HO RB crude oil - day range shrinking.

    hmmm. it doesn't seem to look good. anyway better be alert.
    If no signal 2 hours after market opens, then I'd better go exercise again.

    shorted gold @120p
    shorted hangseng @123p
    shorted copper @148p

    19 jul Eur session

    hmmm. USD getting stronger.
    eur gbp gold copper down.
    copper down since 932am today <<<<< super star performer and it's leading the way. Great job copper.
    wonder why copper dropped so much.
    anyway chart generally leads the news.


    german buxl - day range has been big.
    day chart shows it is ranging.
    I doubt italy and german bonds are going to move today.
    today is USD day

    Later let's see if the Europeans are keen to push up crude oil price or not.
    hmmm. Natural Gas still sleeping.
    later soya export sales data?

    "Prepare for a decade of Dr Copper on steroids"

    Citigroup has reportedly declared a bullish outlook for copper, saying the slump amid deepening global trade conflict offered a long-term buying opportunity.

    italy and germany bonds, dax have been very quiet.

    eur gbp gold copper energy already down.
    Is energy going to reverse up? no idea.

    es ym rty nq already down since asian session due to whatever reason.
    is it going to reverse to go up?
    well. need to consult high accuracy crystal ball.
    past 2 days, rty has been rather trendy and es ym nq very jerky and sluggish.

    will watch out natural gas and soya too.
    the last time NG had good day range was 6 months ago!

    longed crude oil @750pm
    target profit : $1000 / lot
    stop loss : $100 / lot

    crude oil - target profit more or less met
    luckily I didn't read news about lots of oil inventory nonsense.
    too much lousy hopeless erroneous news nowadays.
    now the news reporter is going to change the tune, change the story line
    and probably say too little oil inventory.


    longed russell 2000 @932p
    longed NQ @932p
