Day trading derivatives futures.

US session after Eur day 4 dead session.

well. so far so bad ; market is very dead - ly.
such deadly market is very rare and is very dangerous to trade because
market is not moving.

hope the Americans apply powerful defibrillator to wake up the market.

Natural gas - gapped up far too much.

crude oil seems to follow index.

Day 5 dead market session / Brexit vote session

what happened so far ...
number of signals during first half asian session : 10

I included the gbp signal. but not sure if it will yield Reward risk ratio of > 3.

Next few hours, market will explode ; after calm, there will be storm.
 
15 Jan US session

what happened so far ...
eur gbp already went down.
fgbx already went up.
Natural gas already went down.
Unfortunately the bid offer spread was far too wide.

eur session no longer dead session.
in fact, there were healthy 6 signals during eur session




so what's next?

yesterday NQ ES ... hardly moved.
will it continue to sleep? or will it breakout?
will there be powerful tweet?
 
16 Jan Eur or rather Dead market session

what happened so far ..
3 signals during first half asian session

So far, Eur session is not promising; market is repeatedly dead again and again.
Eur is far too peaceful.

There might be signal coming up.
Anyway not worth the risk trading.
Will do other things instead.
 
18 Jan Eur session

what happened so far ...
Hangseng, NQ - seems to be moving rather sluggishly.
yesterday gbp long blue candle
eur, gold, copper - sleeping
in fact, eur has been sleeping for days.

natural gas -
despite decreasing day range, it is still tradable.
there was a signal @323p. straight forward trade.
can earn about $600 / lot in 8 mins.
This trade is interesting. All traders think alike.
We longed about same time, and we closed position about same
time. subsequently price went down significantly.

there was reverse down signal @338p.
OK. Let's see what the Americans are going to do with NG

21 Jan Eur (or rather dead or deadly market session again?)

what happened so far ...
Asian session rather active. many signals from index futures.

Eur session is deadly again ; only 2 signals during 1st half session.
seems like market is addicted to sleeping during Eur session.



will US indices move later ? no idea.

22 Jan Eur (or rather dead or deadly market session again?)

what happened so far ...
first half Asian session - 5 good signals.
indices are moving.

Come eur session, market might be dead again, or it might move explosively.

How to trade dead or deadly or toxic market ?

- don't trade.
Go do anything other than trading

- trade toxic session with reduced quantity.
Chances of earning $$$ is rather slim.

- trade non toxic session
 
25 Jan Asian session

something is happening during Asian session

these futures went up significantly :
NQ, Hangseng.

also NK, simsci & crude oil to some extent.

even Gbp went up

In such market, must load your gun to the maximum
