interestingly NQ movement is more trendy / organised during Asian and Eur session. Come US session, its movement become jerky with lots of popupine spikes.
12 sep review Taiwan index down 900am Hangseng movement very messy and untradable NQ, copper, India Nifty all suddenly went up @ 339p. Dax decided to sleep. Italy btp, Germany buxl movement limited / messy. Then copper, NQ reverse down @541p. Subsequently NQ movement very spiky very jerky with lots of popupine spikes. crude oil up @705p. However, HO and RB Gasoline did not buddy buddy with crude oil. RTY down @1002p crude oil up again @1033p after inventory news. NQ RTY reverse up @ 1112p. Hang seng also went up at 89 degree gradient while usdcnh went down. gold, copper up @ 1116p probably due to index futures. crude oil reverse down @1135p _______________ Now let me see what's happening to Nikkei which is going up at 89 degree gradient.
Everything went apeshit today around 1100 AM ET when the White House announced trade talks with China may resume. Most folks were expecting a sudden tariff announcement, thus the shock-and-awe rise. When the euphoria died, the selling resumed for a time. Then people came to grip with reality and started a slow climb upwards, AGAIN. What you really need to watch for tonight is how Asia reacts to that announcement when they open soon. I suspect it will be positive.
13 sept Eur session what happened so far ... most asian indices down @1010a NQ down @1208p probably due to asian indices down Hang seng, Xinhua China A50, India Nifty, Simsci up 141p NQ up 300p probably due to Hangseng up. Of course I didn't manage to catch all these signals. futures that appear to be sleeping : Italy btp, germany bul eur gbp perhaps they are waiting for coming news? gold copper, dax - are they sleeping too? not sure.
13 sept US session NQ - uptrend already started during Eur session. will it continue to go up? reverse down? or don't move? no idea. NQ very tradable outside US session. Eur - now going up. crude oil - reversing to go up? Let's see if Americans can push it further up hmmm. lots of signals from everywhere.
14 Sept Asian end of week session so far .... lead is Hangseng. first it gapped up. then down it went @921am. Then up it went @1000am. hangseng day range has been very fantastic ! NQ - gapped up due to whatever reason. then it slept. gold copper USDCNH all sleeping. wonder why they are so lazy. will they wake up?
14 Sept Friday review Hang Seng down 921a after it gapped up <<< star performer !!! gold up 945a Hang Seng up 1000a right after news announcement <<< also star performer !!! NQ up 202p most likely continuation of yesterday up momentum. gold reverse down 515pm <<<< super star performer !!! max profit $1500 / lot ie reward / risk ratio of 12:1 Germany fgbx down 503pm most likely continuation of yesterday down momentum. eur gbp down 845p after news announcement. gold down 845p after news announcement. sigh ... its movement was rather jerky and sluggish. If you were not stopped out, you could easily earn $1000 / lot. NQ reverse down 900p RTY up 1026p oil reverse up 1102p <<< Superstar performer !!!! Those lucky guys should be earning $1500 / lot. oil reverse down 1200a NQ down 1204a most likely continuation of down momentum. copper down 1222a most likely due to NQ. How nice if I could just catch 50% of these signals. ___________
18 sept Asian session what happened last 24 hours .... Hang seng down 957a India Nifty down 1145a <<< star performer !!! Hang seng up 204p Italy BTP up 225p<<<< star performer !!! crude oil up 300p eur gbp up 435p Italy btp up again 454p gold up 850p pushed further up by the Americans NQ down 936p <<<< super star performer ! Germany fgbx reverse up 944p (ha!!! not anti-intercorrelated with Italy btp !) NQ down again 1000p USDCNH up as expected ES and YM movement was limited as it has been for the past few days. _________________________ and few minutes ago .... NQ down 636a copper down 725a and is reversing to go up. Nikkei 225 up 820a _________________________ when Asian markets open, it will surely gap down. I will probably avoid trading during first 1/2 hr. That means I might miss the opportunity. Will let the big boys get their thoughts organised nicely.
18 sept end Asian session Let's see the forest for the trees ... NQ down 636a copper down 725a probably due to NQ copper reverse up 802a <<< star performer !!! NK up 820a. hmmm. high tarriff good for Japan ? <<< superstar performer ! NQ reverse up 902a HS reverse down 945a HS reverse up 955a.

There are good signals everywhere. again, if I could catch just 50% of these signals .... let's see where India CNX Nifty is going.
