31 jul Eur session hmmm. wonder who went to long US Treasury bond ZB just now. Germany bond buxl gapped up. something is happening. anyway not important to know the reason. gold copper gbp dax appears to be resting. calm before storm? eur - day chart shows it is ranging. yesterday super star performers: fgbx long red candle crude oil long blue candle NQ long red candle. so after storm, there will be calm or reversal or what?
31 jul US session ha. late posting. interesting day. market moved when Americans just woke up. star performers - crude oil - gold (swing down swing up) - NQ (swing up swing down) - copper now it is 1/2 hr after stock market opened. seems like market is going to sleep and slim chance there will be any good signal. OK. today I will stop trading much much earlier.
2 Aug Eur session Today asian session, simsci, taiwan index, china A50, hangseng, NK (and NQ) long red candle. super star performer goes to simsci. it was the first person to lead the way down. Tomorrow 51% chance (not 100%) these futures may take a rest. after STORM, there will be CALM. USDCNH - day chart show it is ranging. yesterday these futures were sleeping : eur gbp gold dax. when are they going to wake up? no idea CALM before the STORM. yesterday US ZB and germany buxl buddy buddy together and they went down. gbp rate news coming up later. after STORM, there will be CALM. and CALM before the STORM. Ended up everyday is a good trading day.
I trade usdcnh futures through SGX or HKFE. I don't think there is USDCNH spot from IB. there is eurcnh, jpycnh from IB. not sure what you mean by efficient. I trade USDCNH like I am trading any other futures. Entry is based on price action, on chart pattern. But it is not easy to profit from trading USDCNH because its volume is very low, and its movement could be spiky, messy, erratic, mad, crazy, sluggish. So I tend to avoid trading usdcnh.
2 aug US session Hmm. President Trump is powerful enough to make the earth spin. many good signals today. sg down 911a cn hs down 935a tw down 945a NQ down 1007a NK down 1026a USDCNH up 1040a IN down 1145a oil down 235p dax down 241p NQ ES down 246p BTP DOWN 430P FGBX UP 513P NQ DOWN 517P oil down 534p btp down 608p gbp down 746p Gold really snoring zzzzzzzzz. Good night gold! Gold needs to improve ! How nice if I were able to catch all these signals. To catch all these signals, need to be super calm and alert, mind totally centered, and high power CPU brain. When the Americans wake up, will there be trend continuation, trend reversal or no movement? I have zero idea. But I think Americans might be keen to bring gbp further down. ok. tonight I will work extra hours.
cont .... Let me give the WORST PERFORMER AWARD to gold. how to qualify for the award? most important criteria - it must have small day range when other futures are moving decisively. anyway I don't care if gold is going to improve its performance or not. natural Gas inventory news coming up. but this is US summer time ! anyway better be alert.
7 aug asian / Eur session this morning, simsci, hangseng, china A50 long blue candle due to whatever reason. yesterday US session was untradable. Those who traded during that session (including me! ) probably lost money. India Nifty which breaks record high has been sleeping. yesterday copper gold gbp long red candle due to whatever reason. yesterday germany buxl long blue candle (2 days in a row). sooner or later, it needs to rest. Aud rate news coming up. Aud tends to be immune to news. anyway better be alert.
