unfortunately, price moved in my favor after I flattened position.
shorted German bund 16145, 307pm
profit : 40 ticks
longed DAX @12662, 342PM
profit : -7 points. flatten position because not worth taking the risk as market is not moving.
SIGNAL MISSED : long Crude palm oil at 307pm
SIGNAL MISSED : Heating oil reversal down at 330pm. Intentionally avoiding this future due to its very wide spread. Must come up with better way of dealing with it.
OK. time for dinner and nap.

How's the slippage, day trading copper? Is it a factor?
slippage for day trading copper not an issue.
slippage problem occurs when market is moving very violently
eg when there is very major news
27 Sept Wed evening. premarket analysis.
US indices ES Russsell NQ futures - day range getting shorter. market appears to form close wedge. If North Korea big chief or Trump talk again, then it might move.
gold - hit support level 1290. it appears to reverse to go up. but then it might
decide to stay in small range ie untradable.
crude oil - previous day small range. today might continue to have small range. wonder if there is any OPEC talks. watch out for tonight 1030pm news.
Copper - unfortunately I have flattened my earlier position. so no more opportunity for me.
natural gas - range has been small.
heating oil - well. missed the opportunity. perhaps wait for reversal up signal
since yesterday we had long blue candle.
RBOB gasoline - similar to heating oil.
live cattle - previous days gapped down. day range might continue to be small.
lean hog - ?
soya - yesterday down due to US $ strength.

longed Russell 2000 @ 14644, 841pm. taking small position as price has moved quite alot. perhaps movement due to US tax change?
profit : 50 ticks
shorted Natural gas @ 3065, 942pm, reversal down.
signal missed : short gold at 810pm. missed this signal as chart was quite messy.
signal missed : long Natural gas at 822pm. intentionally skipped this signal as per my premarket analysis. unfortunately this is calm before storm type of market.

End of day review:
be confident with myself and the market.
minimise flattening.
trade simply. avoid over analysing fundamentals, avoid intercorrelating here and there.
OK. Time for supper, time to watch my favorite TV problem, and time for cold home brew beer.

28 Sept Thurs Asian premarket analysis
yesterday US index futures went up significantly
yesterday Sgx simci went up out of no where. perhaps big boys bullish about it due to US tax change. today simsci might sleep.
nikkei and China A50 will probably continue to sleep.
India CNX Nifty past few days very long red candles. today might be long red candle or rest day.
MSCI Taiwan most likely will gap up. perhaps I will wait for signal to short.
AUDUSD JPYUSD have been going down due to US$ strength.
copper. waiting for clear pattern before trading. soon it will go north significantly.
