Day trading derivatives futures.



Preparation for the coming mother-of-all mega Tsunami down wave, start of recession, or whatever catastrophic event.



Yesterday I was not well prepared.
so .... The To Do List :


compress the Index futures big volume chart Y axis - completed
It will be better if I have 42" monitors, portrait format plus an extra tall chair.

compress the ladders - unfortunately can only be done for some trading platforms

Include Asian and Eur Index Futures for trading during US session - completed

be mentally alert for the coming mother-of-all Tsunami down wave.
As what the book says, there wouldn't be any pre warning for the coming - ongoing

mind to be alert and agile, assess the situation on real time basis and if necessary, increase stop loss massively by 2 to 5 times immediately - ongoing

Waiting starts ....

26 oct mid Asian / Eur session

sigh ... missed multiple signals as I was out to run some errants for my kid.
Luckily managed to short India Nifty.

copper, oil ... seems to be laggard.
Lead being Indices.
Italy Btp still having healthy day range.


Will focus on Indices.


seems like I might miss my Target for day 3
" catch > half of the NQ signals ".
So better trade non stop next few hours.
 
26 oct US session

NQ status so far ....
first down wave at 1115am Asian session (correlated with other asian indices)
2nd down wave at 514pm and down again at 523pm Eur session
3rd down wave ?

seems like NQ now forming bear flag?

I will not touch oil, gold, copper, dax, eur, gbp futures

Italy btp sleeping.

24 Oct NQ 2nd dominant candle analysis


day range and comments :
Day 1 (24 Oct) 395 points - Dominant candle with 2 mega Tsunami down waves

Day 2 (25 Oct) 260 points - multi waves up, then reverse down with tens of signals

Day 3 - 250 points - 5 big swings. So the effective day range is ~ 1000 points !!!
Unfortunately there were many fake signals

OK. now compare NQ vs ES YM RTY HANGSENG NIKKEI dax ...
most trendy futures goes to Nikkei and Hangseng !!!
well. good to see traders go smoothen out the Nikkei and Hangseng and make it presentable and good looking.


What interesting strange world :
NQ - avoid trading during US session. Trading during non US session.
US session - don't trade NQ. Trade Asian index.



Day 4 ?

NQ dominant candles

date / day range
10 oct, 410 points. 2 tsunami down waves
24 oct, 390 points. 2 tsunami down waves
29 oct, 410 points. multi waves down with last wave being most powerful
(ie different from what textbooks say).
ie very important to trade few hours before market close. as usual many fake
signals during US session, and not straight forward to catch the good signals.


29 oct trendiness analysis, US session :
ES YM RTY NQ all exhibited similar pattern ;
retracement pattern very messy. lots of fake signals.
very challenging to trade.

simsci, taiwan index, Nikkei - nice retracement pattern.
HKFE - hmmm. they still haven't extend their trading hours.
wonder what's in their mind.

conclusion :
US indices - trade during non US session
US session - trade Asian indices. so don't need to crack our brain trading.



30 oct Asian session
as usual, market will gap down. first 1/2 hour, very challenging to trade.
