Day trading derivatives futures.

18 Apr Eur session

what happened so far ...

Hangseng - still tradable with big day range.
India Nifty - nice long red candle.
Perhaps I should hold some lots till end of day.

yesterday Germany fgbx big day range but was rather untradable.
gold moved on 16 Apr. Now sleeping.


So what to look out for ?
- wait for eur gbp, crude oil, gold to wake up.
chances of eur gbp waking up is practically zero unless there is
defibrillator.
- look out for index futures.
- Germany bond

18 Apr US session.

what happened so far ...

Germany buxl long blue candle.
straight forward, out of textbook trade.
max profit : 1300 euro / lot.

dax also long blue candle.
and NQ followed dax.

interestingly copper went down when Germany flash mfg pmi data was released.

eur gbp oil gold movement has been very limited.

Lean Hog HE - day range has been very healthy at about 3 points ( current HE price 96). However, movement could be rather spiky / jerky / chaotic.
Must look for similar futures to trade Hog.
sigh ....can't trade Futures from China Exchange.
