hmmm. wonder who went to long US Treasury bond ZB just now.
Germany bond buxl gapped up.
something is happening. anyway not important to know the reason.

gold copper gbp dax appears to be resting.
calm before storm?

eur - day chart shows it is ranging.

yesterday super star performers:
fgbx long red candle
crude oil long blue candle
NQ long red candle.
so after storm, there will be calm or reversal or what?

interesting day. market moved when Americans just woke up.

star performers

now it is 1/2 hr after stock market opened.
seems like market is going to sleep and slim chance there will be any good signal.
OK. today I will stop trading much much earlier.

Sir what is the most efficient way to trade USDCNH? Is it FX spot?

Sir what is the most efficient way to trade USDCNH? Is it FX spot?

I trade usdcnh futures through SGX or HKFE.
I don't think there is USDCNH spot from IB.
there is eurcnh, jpycnh from IB.

not sure what you mean by efficient.
I trade USDCNH like I am trading any other futures.
Entry is based on price action, on chart pattern.
But it is not easy to profit from trading USDCNH because
its volume is very low, and its movement could be spiky, messy, erratic, mad, crazy, sluggish.
So I tend to avoid trading usdcnh.

Gold really snoring zzzzzzzzz. Good night gold!
Gold needs to improve !

How nice if I were able to catch all these signals.
To catch all these signals, need to be super calm and alert, mind totally centered, and high power CPU brain.

When the Americans wake up, will there be trend continuation, trend reversal
or no movement? I have zero idea.
But I think Americans might be keen to bring gbp further down.

ok. tonight I will work extra hours.

cont ....

Let me give the WORST PERFORMER AWARD to gold.

how to qualify for the award?
most important criteria - it must have small day range when other futures are moving decisively.
anyway I don't care if gold is going to improve its performance or not.

natural Gas inventory news coming up.
but this is US summer time ! anyway better be alert.

 

[maxinger]

cont ...
good job Natural gas !

7 aug asian / Eur session

this morning,
simsci, hangseng, china A50 long blue candle due to whatever reason.

yesterday US session was untradable.
Those who traded during that session (including me! )
probably lost money.

India Nifty which breaks record high has been sleeping.

yesterday copper gold gbp long red candle due to whatever reason.
yesterday germany buxl long blue candle (2 days in a row).
sooner or later, it needs to rest.

Aud rate news coming up.
Aud tends to be immune to news.
anyway better be alert.
