Today the market is extremely dead; nothing moved.
The Chinese New Year could be extremely deadly.

The day/night is not over yet.
High chance it might break the world record.

I used to live in Asia and trade European open in US session, many days the daily highs and lows was made in night session, the move was cleaner it allow you to hold onto you trade to swing target.

For today, there might be no bacon to bring home.


Trump better be the next President.
Then there will be tons of trading opportunities.
