29 Nov US session crude oil reversed up @756p. Luckily I am not doing swing trading ; Just imagine you shorted crude oil & had big paper profit. Then all the profit vaporised. ES YM RTY NQ eur gbp gold yesterday long blue candle. so today it either go up, go down, or refuse to move. germany buxl, ZB - already went up Natural Gas- now close wedge
6 dec Asian session post mortem NQ down 701a. impossible to catch this signal NQ up 702a. impossible to catch this signal NK down 829a. probably encouraged by NQ. NQ down 903a. NQ down again 908a. Hangseng gapped down. and down again @916a. probably encouraged by NQ & NK. NQ up 928a now Hangseng in comfort zone. it will probably stay there for next few mins or hours. OK. time to stop trading. Let's see how markets will react during 2nd half Asian session and first half Eur session.
6 dec US session what happened so far ... futures that are moving are index futures, crude oil, perhaps copper. so will focus on these during US session. but crude oil appears to have found its comfort zone. I will not bother to check eur gbp gold, bond/notes there are quite a few major economic news coming up. but most likely, as usual, markets will be immune to such news announcement.
6 dec NQ post mortem NQ down 857a NQ down 1056a NG up 156p NQ up 259p NQ down 402p NQ down 443p NQ down 523p NQ down 953p NQ up 1034p NQ down 1051p there were many signals. some signals were obvious as NQ moved in tandem with other markets (hangseng, NK, crude oil, dax ....). Millions of traders and robots are also doing intermarket correlation. however, there were many land mines. Not able to detect clear signals after 1051p
21 Dec ES post mortem oven wedge / swing up swing down zone : down 436p. quite meaty. up 926p. quite meaty. down 1025p. quite meaty. up 1111p. very meaty. down 1133p. very meaty. from here onwards, market confirmed downtrend down 1242a. very meaty. down again 352a. very meaty. No ES signal during Asian session. But during asian session, India Nifty & China A50 went down alot, and Hangseng up alot. And during Eur session, DAX hardly moved. NQ ? very spiky very pokey. better trade ES.
21 Dec Natural Gas Post mortem I didn't trade NG on 21 Dec due to its very jerky spiky movement. anyway, let me do post mortem. day range still healthy at 230 ticks. since 9 Nov, day range has been excellent. day chart shows NG is ranging. margin requirement is very high ! this year, winter not so cold ? winter almost over. soon NG day range will shrink drastically. down @ 100p (hmmm. must be hourly traders) up @ 900p (hmmm. must be hourly traders ) up @ 1219a (price broke out resistance line) down @407a (as mentioned, day chart shows NG is ranging. max reward risk ratio 6:1)
26 Dec Asian session signals so far ... NQ down 707a. difficult to catch this signal because movement was very rapid. either chase after the market, or don't trade. NG UP 716A. highly tradable during Asian and Eur sessions. perhaps it might reverse down later. NQ reverse up 717a. As of now,NQ appears to have found its comfort zone. simsci down 833a simsci reverse up 854a gold reverse up 911a oil reverse down 912a NK reverse down 941a India Nifty down 1150a today, there are lots of reversal signals. Many traders eager to trade right after holiday. eurex, HKFE exchanges closed for today No idea how many signals there will be during Eur and US session but surely there will be some good signals.
27 Dec US session eur gbp, copper - all sleeping crude oil, gold - seems to be laggards Natural gas - inside day. yesterday day range 270 ticks ie still very healthy Italy btp and Germany buxl - already went up NQ, ES, RTY - yesterday long blue candle. went down alot during Eur session. Now it appears to have found its comfort zone or perhaps it is in bear flag. but things might change later. anyway I have earned enough for today. Perhaps I should try to earn even more from Natural gas. longed RTY @ 1031p. straight forward signal from the text book. NQ reverse down 1048p RTY reverse up 1100p
cont ... NQ reverse down 1105p. seems like it will swing up swing down. but soon, it will be risky to trade.
27 Dec NQ post mortem NQ up 119p NQ reverse down 130p NQ down 344p rty up 1033p (NQ signal not clear) NQ down 1042p rty up 1100p (NQ signal not clear) NQ down 1105p NQ down again 1118p (after this time, unable to detect any clear pattern) NQ up massively 348a
