11 oct European premarket analysis German btp / bund / dax - day range has been rather small. when will it widen? eurusd gbpusd jpyusd - movement small and jerky. when will it be decisive? gold - sleeping. perhaps it will wake up tonight during FOMC meeting minute? energy - no change in my view corn soya wheat - no major event/news/crisis/hurricane/flood/drought. so range has been small.
11 oct european session longed gold 223pm, 12916 with reduced quantity. sigh .... missed signal at 155pm. need to be more alert. profit : zero. position flattened. not worth taking risk. my goodness! Dax no pulse.
ok. calling it a day. now going for afternoon exercise. come US session if market is dead, that means big boys waiting for coming fomc meeting minutes.
11 oct US session Longed Natural gas 2950, 925pm with reduced quantity since this is not first signal. profit : zero. flatten position because not worth the risk. ha. missed the 4pm signal because I went for afternoon exercise. very expensive exercise indeed. longed copper 30750, 935pm profit : 11 t I see that ES, russell , NQ are sleeping. eurusd moving but chart is very crooked/distorted/messy/jerky. market seems like waiting for fomc meeting minutes. ok. will take a nap. hope it is not an expensive nap.
12 oct asian premarket analysis futures with long candle yesterday - sgx simsci - India Nifty - Taiwan index - natural gas - heating oil - RB gasoline - perhaps gold so? today it might have long candle again, or very short candle. No one knows except God, time, or powerful accurate 100% accuracy crystal ball.
12 oct european session longed copper 2.22pm, 31000 hope the europeans are more organised / tidy. yesterday Americans moved copper up in rather disorganised way. monitoring eurex btp. something is happening. due to fomc meeting? anyway it doesn't matter why it moved. Still not retracing .... signal missed : long gold at 100pm. sigh ..... Europeans are working early today perhaps because of yesterday fomc meeting thing. anyway curencies and gold trend are now directionless.
13 oct Asian premarket analysis yesterday many traders probably earnt thousands of dollars trading copper India Nifty gbpusd crude oil natural gas Russell soya beaan lean hog as usual, when futures moved alot yesterday, it might move again or sleep today. as usual, signal normally come out of no where. occassionally, gbpusd and crude oil moved in tandem for whatever reason which doesn't matter to me. don't have to catch all signals. just one good signal per trading session is good enough to earn thousands of dollars.
13 oct Asian session longed sgx simsci 950am,369.3 shifted stop to protective stop. seems like I have to hold this position for many hours. OK. time for morning exercise and then nice lunch. signal missed long gold at 942am. sigh.... very bad habit to miss signal. gold price might suddenly explode up. remaining markets very dead. perhaps big boys waiting for President Trump to say something?
13 oct european session Nikkei suddenly went up out of no where. Definitely there are some option traders who think since Nikkei is going up, let's go and buy call option. But some option traders might quickly sell expensive call option (ie credit option) as Nikkei will continue to sleep since Nikkei has the habit of sleeping. They are not counter trend traders as they know the personality, characteristics, behaviour of Nikkei
13 oct European session longed gbpusd 245pm, 13306 sigh... too careless. did not set quantity to multiple lots. longed crude palm oil 300pm, 2723 longed eurex btp 305pm, 13605 profit : 5 ticks shorted eurusd 316pm 11861 seems like I have traded quite a bit. let me rest for a while. Now let the market decides whether to give me tons of money, or hit my stops and it is not within my control. missed : long India Nifty 1150am. well. having lunch with my family. long crude oil 200pm (see the round number ?) I see that Heating oil and RB gasoline are going up at 89 degree. Wonder how people trade it. Perhaps they have heart of steel, or they traded blinded folded.
