    US session after Eur day 4 dead session.

    well. so far so bad ; market is very dead - ly.
    such deadly market is very rare and is very dangerous to trade because
    market is not moving.

    hope the Americans apply powerful defibrillator to wake up the market.

    Natural gas - gapped up far too much.

    14 Jan summary

    number of signals during first half Asian session : 9

    number of signals during first half Eur session : 0
    This is day 4 of dead or deadly or lifeless or whatever market.

    number of signals during first half US session : 4
    none of these signals were from US indices.
    US indices were moving rather erratically

    crude oil seems to follow index.

    seems like this winter is getting cold again.
    yesterday Natural gas day range was 330 ticks.
    so not time to archive NG chart.


    Soon market will explode violently ;
    calm before the storm.

    15 Jan US session

    what happened so far ...
    eur gbp already went down.
    fgbx already went up.
    Natural gas already went down.
    Unfortunately the bid offer spread was far too wide.

    eur session no longer dead session.
    in fact, there were healthy 6 signals during eur session




    so what's next?

    yesterday NQ ES ... hardly moved.
    will it continue to sleep? or will it breakout?
    will there be powerful tweet?

    16 Jan Eur or rather Dead market session

    what happened so far ..
    3 signals during first half asian session

    So far, Eur session is not promising; market is repeatedly dead again and again.
    Eur is far too peaceful.

    There might be signal coming up.
    Anyway not worth the risk trading.
    Will do other things instead.

    18 Jan Eur session

    what happened so far ...
    Hangseng, NQ - seems to be moving rather sluggishly.
    yesterday gbp long blue candle
    eur, gold, copper - sleeping
    in fact, eur has been sleeping for days.

    natural gas -
    despite decreasing day range, it is still tradable.
    there was a signal @323p. straight forward trade.
    can earn about $600 / lot in 8 mins.
    This trade is interesting. All traders think alike.
    We longed about same time, and we closed position about same
    time. subsequently price went down significantly.

    there was reverse down signal @338p.
    OK. Let's see what the Americans are going to do with NG

    21 Jan Eur (or rather dead or deadly market session again?)

    what happened so far ...
    Asian session rather active. many signals from index futures.

    Eur session is deadly again ; only 2 signals during 1st half session.
    seems like market is addicted to sleeping during Eur session.



    will US indices move later ? no idea.

    22 Jan Eur (or rather dead or deadly market session again?)

    what happened so far ...
    first half Asian session - 5 good signals.
    indices are moving.

    Come eur session, market might be dead again, or it might move explosively.

    How to trade dead or deadly or toxic market ?

    - don't trade.
    Go do anything other than trading

    - trade toxic session with reduced quantity.
    Chances of earning $$$ is rather slim.

    - trade non toxic session
