    20 sept US session

    what happened during Eur session :


    EUR GBP NQ ES YM uptrend already started.
    now long blue candle.

    gold copper dax also up but these are laggards

    ZB down slightly



    so during US session will EUR GBP NQ ES YM
    continue to go up? reverse down ? or sleep?
    no idea.
    That's why it is
    Important to trade during Eur session as there are many instances where
    trend starts during Eur session.

    Under such situation, markets will probably be immune even to major economic event news.



    Natural gas - already up 2 days ago.
    crude oil - already up yesterday. most likely today will be choopy day.
    yesterday it was choopy day too.

    hmmm. Nikkei trying to break its record high of 24100?

    higher tariff ---> better for stock markets.

    Anyway I hardly trade Nikkei.

    and look at India CNX Nifty.
    is it trying to reach the ocean floor?
    super wide range of 3.4% !
    something is happening in India. wonder what it is.

    quite fun to trade such market because you can realise your profit in seconds.
    It is like playing those computer games where you click here and there rapidly.

    but have to trade with small quantity because market is moving super fast,
    and there is about 0.5 sec time delay in internet speed due to whatever reason.

    Thoses who trade in broker house with super high internet speed should be laughing all the way to the bank.

    Day traders love such markets. can play and can earn $.

    21 sept US session

    so far ....
    most asian index futures up.
    India Nifty down significantly
    gbp down
    eur gold sleeping

    copper - day range has been shrinking.

    italy btp, germany buxl - trendless

    Yesterday
    ES YM RTY NQ Soya, Natural gas long blue candle

    now ...
    crude oil - don't like its crooked movement. yesterday movement
    was extremely crooked.
    day range seems to be shrinking.
    very easy to lose money trading such crooked market. will avoid trading it.

    hmm... Natural gas. something strange happening past few days.



    I think I will just monitor the market for 1/2 or 1 hour after US opening.
    If market is not promising, I will stop trading.
    If market is promising, I will trade for 2 or 3 hours

    so far, it doesn't look promising.
