25 sept US session what happened so far ... copper, soya up since Eur session no idea where these futures are going : ES YM RTY NQ EUR GBP, crude oil, HO, RB gasoline, gold, lean hog, NATURAL GAS, ZB Not worth taking risk trading such markets. markets virtually zero pulse. heavy scalpers sure like such markets. Time to off my trading mind.
26 sept Asian session what happened so far : quite simple analysis. yesterday US session virtually zero pulse. so ? watch out for India Nifty. day range still very healthy. lots of trading opportunity. today HKFE market opens after its holiday
cont ... what happened so far ... only sgx simsci went up just after it opened . the rest of the markets virtually zero pulse. such markets are very easy to trade - there wouldn't be any signal. markets waiting for powerful tweet, fomc meeting, or whatever. OK. time of off my trading mind. Then come back and trade India Nifty.
26 sept US session summary of signals so far : NQ up 825a (either due to momentum or earnings news) sgx simsci up 900a (due to rollover ?) FTSE China A50, Hangseng up 1028a IN Nifty down 123p (however, as expected, day range is shinking day by day) FTSE China A50, Hangseng reverse down 212p IN Nifty down again 320p Italy btp up 325p (this signal is not that obvious. 2nd day up) gold down 433p NQ reverse down 625p crude oil down 740p (HO, RB gasoline went down first). eur down but signal not obvious. Most likely it was dragged down by gold. futures with zero pulse / sleeping : copper, dax, Germany Buxl, gbp, ZB, soya, USDCNH, natural gas I missed quite a few signals today actually. crude oil inventory news and FOMC press statement coming up soon.
cont ... fomc news trading messy limited movement from eur gbp gold. I doubt you can earn money trading these. which futures moved ? ES YM NQ But ES YM movement is far too meagre. OK. not going to trade anymore. time to continue my sleep. overall for today, best time to trade in terms of market movement and number of signals is Asian and Eur sessions. Worst is US session.

hmmm. Nikkei broke its own record. Now it's > 24000 points. trade war --> better for Nikkei? gold - yesterday long red candle. CNBC news rather slow ... Gold inches up as investors discount Fed rate hike The Fed raised interest rates for the third time this year on Wednesday. Spot palladium rose 0.9 percent to $1,075.98 an ounce, a fresh eight-month high. Published 10:53 PM ET Wed, 26 Sept 2018 Updated 16 Hours Ago Reuters Gold prices edged higher on Thursday as investors largely discounted a U.S. interest rate hike, but gains were limited as the dollar rose following reports of a row in Italy's new government
28 sept signals review sgx simsci up 900a (most likely by the same big boys who would long sgx simsci around opening time). sgx tw index down 1045a India nifty down 1156a India Nifty reverse up 100p ftse China A50, Hangseng down 136p NQ down 151p (probably due to hangseng) Italy btp down 226p India Nifty reverse down 303p dax down 318p (perhaps due to Italy things) Italy ftp down again 346p India Nifty down again 430p eur down 502p (perhaps due to Italy things) Italy btp down again 500p Germany fgbx up 524p ( due to Italy Germany spreaders?)

1 oct US session what happened so far ... sgx simsci down 830a (lately some big boys are trading around opening time !) sgx simci rev up 855a NQ up 936a ( unfortunately its movement was rather deceiving) Copper down 1041a gold down 1207p Italy btp down 233p NQ, dax up 316p India Nifty up 322p Germany fgbx down 440p NG up 440p ( seems like this is like winter time, and NG is getting very tradable) copper rev down 444p (most likely copper and gold are buddy buddy again ? ) NQ reverse down 812p (NQ highly tradable outside US session) eur, crude oil, Heating oil, RB gasoline, soya appears to be sleeping
cont ... rty down 930p <<<< superstar performer ! soya up 932p NQ up 935p (you will probably get decent Reward risk ratio of 2 only) these futures are probably in their comfort zone : eur, gold, copper, crude oil I don't quite like ES and YM movement will stop trading early today. not worth taking risk hmmm. I should seriously consider stop trading US session totally. perhaps when daylight saving ends, I will stop trading US session. Not worth trading during night time. perhaps age is catching up. Eur session is much more tradable than US session. during eur session, you eat all the juicy nice thick meat. Come US session, left with pathetic crumb and bones and insides only.
