18 sept US session

Again look at the forest for the trees again.


NQ, copper, crude oil, HO, RB - already gone up.
Will it continue to go up, reverse to go down, or sleep?
No idea. Have to see what the Americans are going to do later.

ZB, Germany Buxl already one down.

Lean Hog - yesterday up.

those sleepers including soya continue to sleep.
actually gold tried to wake up but it went to sleep again.
 
I have a question and this is not a criticism. Futures are derivatives. You're trading futures. Not FOs or spreads... why "derivatives futures"?

I traded various derivaties.
Perhaps it is like me saying I gave up on options and now just focus on futures.
 
19 sep Asian session

what happened past few hours :
long blue candles - NQ, copper, Nikkei, Hangseng
long red candles - India Nifty
gold - dead . it needs defriberator.

so today, price either go up, go down, sideway.
No way to tell. Only time will know.
for such market, I will downsize by lot size.
 
cont ...

sigh....

what a bad (predictable ) market!!
at times, market is quite predicatable.
very easy to lost money in such a market.

OK. I will stop trading.
Now I will go for extended exercise.

How nice if the exchange shut down, when previous day was a long candle.

It's just a nomenclature thing. Here's the real kicker though...What do you truly call an option on a future? Isn't that a derivative on a derivative? Is that a FOOF? FOOPD? FOOFOD?
 
19 sept end Asian / Eur session

what happened so far ...

FTSE China A50 up 1010am
(sigh.... missed this signal because I was too focused on Hangseng.
Unfortunately Hangseng movment was too jerky with lots of porpupine spikes).

copper up @1120am.
Most likely its movement will be limited.

Yesterday long blue candle - NQ, copper, Hangseng, Natural gas, crude oil

also Italy BTP up, and Germany buxl down (they don't like each other).


out of no where, Natural gas suddenly went up.
This is not normal.
Winter coming so soon?

_______________

now :

gold seems to wake up already.
something happening to US dollar?
NQ - don't know where it is going. seems to be sleeping.
