Day trading derivatives futures.

20 oct European session


Always remember :
DAY trading will overflow your cup.
So grab the biggest biggest biggest one you can find.
Day trading will give you big problem in spending money.


Hang Seng appears to have quietened down.
US index futures went up this morning. Wonder if there will be continuation or reversal signal. at times, US index futures are tradable during Asian / European session.

longed Hangseng @ 216pm, 28445.
profit : zero. flattened position. very annoying system. can't even set stop loss in trading platform. must change broker.

20 oct US premarket analysis

my bund closed with good profit

also longed gbpusd @ 430pm. stop in place.
unable to catch 235pm signal as entry point unclear.
interestingly gbpusd going up in sawtooth manner.

my gold position
hope US wake up early and move gold further down.
Nothing much I can do if market wants to hit my stop.
seems like the 12830 level was well resisted by the Europeans

ES / NQ/ Russesll. morning price went up. it seems to be forming bull flag.


I see that I missed the crude oil short 410pm signal.
 
20 oct US market

markets have already moved during Asian and European sessions.
It seems like markets have already found its comfort zone and hence will not move.


There might be signal later but not worth glueing myself to the chair and computer.
So I am going to off my computer and have some nice cold beer.
 
what country are you trading from..... so I can resolve the posting time versus the time you place your trades...

thanks toucan

23 oct Mon premarket analysis

Last Fri,
Asian index futures hardly moved.
US index futures went up during Asian session.
gbpusd up, gold, eurusd down, energy futures up.
Again heating oil and RB movement have been rather messy/jerky.
Detecting such signals has been rather challenging.
soya bean and copper went up initially. bearish big boys took the opportunity to bring it down.

Honesty speaking, not necessary to really analyse the past.
During trading, focus on present moment, not what happened last time, not what is going to happen next.
At times, I purposely hide previous day charts and just show the present day charts. Because previous day charts could be very distracting.
This is one of the most important principle in meditation; focus on present moment, not the past, not the future.

Not sure if there are any major sudden events during the weekend.
Better wake up early tomorrow Monday 6am when the markets open.

Since I am free now, let me polish my options trading skills. I stopped trading options years ago.
