    28 Jan Asian session

    yesterday Russell 2000 max RR ratio 18:1.
    sigh ... I didn't even get half of that.
    those who traded ES NQ YM and not Russell during US session
    might be gnashing their teeth.

    gold - decaying day range from 36 points on 20 Jun 19 to 14 points on 27 Jun 19.

    28 Jan US session

    As of now, these are the dead , lifeless markets :
    NQ rty ES
    as usual, eur
    germany buxl
    Italy btp
    gold (It went up, then down, then sleep)
    copper (it slept for 2 days )
    crude oil, HO, RB (though there is some upward bias)

    will market move later?
    or continue to sleep?

    soon markets will move tremendously.

    1 July preparation

    Last Asian session
    gold was up

    Last Eur session
    gold reverse down

    Last US session
    gold down again
    out of nowhere, Platinum went up
    Russell 2000 was up
    out of nowhere, oil went down

    Overall, most index futures were not moving.

    When the market opens on 1 Jul, it might gap up / down due to G20 meeting.
    Subsequently,
    - gap might be closed
    - market might take few hours to decide where to go next


    My internet plan has been upgraded &
    MESH (better than Powerline Adaptor) installed.
    so things should better. But nothing beats trading in trading house.

    seems like market might take few more hours to decide where it want to go.


    crude oil, gold , copper, Nikkei - already found its comfort zone.

    NQ - nice reversal down signal.
    waiting for reversal up signal.

    Taiwan index, simsci - nice up signal.

    1 Jul mid Eur session

    what happened so far ...

    index futures (and related interrelated futures) uptrend started ~ mid Asian session.
    It might form open wedge, it might sleep or it might make U turn.
    Only crystal ball & not technical analysis can predict what's going to happen next.

    USD (vs currencies, gold) uptrend started ~ end Asian session

    germany buxl up. straight forward trade.

    hmmm. simsci still going up. I still got some open lots.

    India Nifty - more or less sleeping / not much momentum

    gold signal so far ...

    gold up @609a - max profit $1200 / lot
    gold reverse down @945a - max profit ~$1k / lot

    let's see if the Europeans will reverse the direction

    Taiwan index - movement due to some political news, or someone with very fat finger and the machines traded automatically
