    NQ EUR GBP GOLD COPPER DAX
    italy and germany bonds all moved this morning / last Fri.
    Now they all decided to take a nap.


    dangerous to trade such markets.
    Better let the scalpers scalp such markets.

    OK. time for my super long tea break.
    Perhaps I should have long tea break till the Americans wake up.

    23 jul US session

    luckily I managed to earn some ticks from energy futures.

    USDCNH up @245pm. didn't catch it. still trying to get used to her 'strange' personality / characteristics / character / idiosyncrasis / behaviour.
    hmm. her bid offer spread could be >15 ticks !


    es ym rty - past few days day range rather small. when is it going to widen ?
    there should be some major news /events / tweets to widen it.
    NQ day range still quite healthy.

    gold copper - where are they going?

    eur gbp appears to have found its comfort zone.

    seems like today Americans might not move Germany bonds

    ZB going down? anyway I don't trade it anymore. let the spreaders profit from it

    25 jul Eur session

    as of now, es ym rty nq, usdcnh ,jpy, hangseng, India Nifty ...
    not showing any sign of life

    crude oil - day chart shows it is in big range.

    dax, copper - yesterday long blue candle. today it might sleep

    germany buxl - 2 days of long red candles, follow by one long blue candle

    sigh ... I am falling asleep.
    Hope there is some trigger, some major news / events or powerful tweet to
    wake up the markets.

    Usually when there was STORM, there will be CALM.
    And when it is CALM, there will be STORM.

    very quiet day.
    many futures are sleeping.
    perhaps big boys waiting for the coming Trump EU chief meeting.

    only two signals :
    usdcnh down @226pm

    gold up @500p. hmmm. who longed the gold? it might be the same big boys who longed the gold yesterday.

    27 jul Asian session

    shrinking day range :
    simsci, taiwan index, Nikkei, ES, ym
    so CALM before the STORM?

    yesterday long red candle:
    china CN A50, hangseng, copper, gold
    so after STORM, there will be CALM?

    yessterday long blue candle :
    USDCNH

    NQ - now in big range. some earnings announcement around end of US session?


    So? No comment. don't know what to say.
    as more and more candles enter the chart, just decide based on what I see on the chart.

    longed taiwan index @918am
    wonder why it moves. perhaps month end or what?

    27 jul Eur session

    shrinking day range :
    India Nifty es ym
    italy bond btp, jpy, crude oil
    So today, will there be wide day range?
    We need high accuracy crystal ball or fortune teller to answer this question..

    yesterday long red candle :
    eur gbp gold copper
    So today, will there be
    - long red candle
    - long blue candle
    - or small day range?
    Similarly we need high accuracy crystal ball or fortune teller
    or even 100% accuracy system to answer this question..

    yesterday long blue candle :
    HO, RB gasoline

    Germany buxl, NQ still healthy day range
    France bond OAT. day range has been small. well, let's see how it performs today

    dax - I don't like trading it


    WORLD WIDE super star performer goes to India Nifty.
    It breaks its own record high.
    hmmm. India PM Modi must be doing a great job.
