4 Jan Nonfarm Employment change / US session
what happened so far ...
ES YM RTY NQ already up since Asian session.
Now left with skin, bone, insides and no wagyu meat.
gbp, crude oil, copper already up since Asian / Eur session
but they seems to be laggards
gold already down since Eur session but it seems to be laggard
NFEC data was out. As usual, over the past few months,
markets were rather immune to economic news.
Nowadays very few people trade the news.
Well. I will just wait for
ES YM RTY NQ reversal down signal. If not, no trading.

9Jan US session
number of signals during first half asian session : 10 !
number of signals during first half Eur session : 1 <<<< very scary session
number of signals during first half US session : tbd
Hope it will not be scary session.
Hope the market moves explosively.
Natural Gas
It has come down to its day chart comfort zone.
day range has decreased drastically to ~ 100 ticks
from peak of 900 ticks.
Spring is here? Perhaps time to archive NG chart.
Hope next winter is colder and longer.
jpy - now back to its tiny day range of perhaps 40 pips
time to archive jpy chart too?
perhaps time to retrieve other futures (soya, hog ...) from
my archive.

not so scary session after all ...
Indices not moving.
US$ (EUR GBP, GOLD OIL) are moving due to don't-know-what reason.
crude oil appears to be the LEAD.
It has been up since last Christmas
crude oil - very difficult or rather impossible to enter because there was absolutely no chart pattern.
perhaps just one very big boy pushed up the price?
interestingly CNBC reported BREAKING NEWS !
DOW RISES 150 POINTS ON US CHINA TRADE OPTIMISM

Lately Italy btp and Germany buxl are rather intercorrelated.
At times they are anti intercorrelated or non intercorrelated.
