    3 Jun US session

    NQ reverse down few minutes after US stock market opened.
    straight forward, simple standard textbook answer.

    There are not many days where trading is that straightforward.

    Those who read the text book hardworkingly, comprehend it and implement it should
    be earning tons of $$$.

    NQ dax continue its up momentum.

    Germany bond - it moved probably due to index futures.

    5 Jun US session

    yesterday US index went up alot.
    it might decide to take a rest today.
    Well. Things might change.

    Gold already up.

    US bond - seems like it has found its comfort zone.

    6 Jun Asian session

    NQ nice reversal up signal just now.
    market very trendy, ie movement is smooth, gentle, nice.
    Very easy to earn $$$ in such market.
    reward risk ratio probably > 6

    crude oil also rise in tandem. but big boys may not be around.

    Yesterday during US session, NQ movement was very choopy chaotic messy
    spiky pokey rocky or whatever. very easy to lose $$$ in such market.

    NQ day range is shrinking.

    Nikkei - day range has been rather small at ave of 120 points.

    Platinum - yesterday day range was big at 31 points.
    trendiness - excellent.
    Lots of interest in USD during yesterday US session.
    sigh ... Need more monitors.
    Haven't got more powerful computer and hook up even more
    monitors.


    gold - yesterday nice uptrend. Then nice reversal down.

    India Nifty - I think I'd better avoid trading it today.

    6 Jun Eur session


    NQ movement this asian session - max RR ratio was 7:1
    yesterday gold up movement - max profit $1500 / lot, RR ratio 12:1
    of course, I didn't max out.

    Ha ! India Nifty knew I was not around.
    Then India Nifty moved!
    Yesterday I was around and it refused to move.
    VERY SCHEMING.

    Italy btp - healthy day range.
    USD based already moved yesterday.

    ECB press conference coming up. will watch out Eur, Germany bonds

    6 Jun Ecb trading

    that's interesting.
    eur, germany bonds moved before press conference.
    normally big boys would wait for press conference then move the market.

    EUR - I think RR ratio could be > 5:1.
    sigh .... why those exchange people created sooo many digits for Eur?
    6 digits !! Old folks will struggle with those numbers.
    they should follow crude oil which has only 4 digits.

    germany bonds - those traders changed their mind?

    US index
    shrinking day range.
    already moved during Asian and Eur session.
