We need Superman to spin the earth.

Today there is this nice jerky ugly fgbx chart.
nice because there is no good signal, AND also no fake signal.


wonder if the earth will spin during the next few hours.

Dooms day 6 - 10 Apr session

Characteristics of Dooms day markets
- many fake signals
- retracement pattern could be erratic
- day range tends to be small
- day range could be healthy but market moves in erratic chaotic messy jerky manner
- very little intercorrelation among the futures
- out of no where, market might move suddenly without any pre warning
eg Russell 2000 down signal @150a.
- signal tends to come much later.

You wouldn't hear about Dooms day markets characteristics from cnbc,bloomberg,wsj,bbc,reuters .... because those writers are not day traders.


plan for today : see earlier posting
 
D day 6 - 10 Apr summary

# signals in early Asian session : 2

# signals in early Eur session : 1 (which is China A50) or rather 0

# signals in early US / end Eur session : 6
star performer is Russell 2000.
Lately Russell 2000 has been a good performer.

Now I have some monitor space to include Platinum futures chart.
Don't like this Palladium futures due to its very high margin and and rather low volume


OVERALL, market is still not that great for day trading.
There were relatively fewer signals, and signal could come out of no where.
There were not many major news to move the market.

Hope 11 Apr is not another D day.

11 Apr Eur session

market looks rather scary.
earth not spinning again.
Hope it is not another D day ( D day 7?)
only some movement from Germany buxl.

Eur might attempt to break its own record and achieve the smallest day range of < 20 ticks.
 
Dooms day 8 - 12 Apr session

Might as well label today as D day till the earth really spin.

what happened yesterday:

- Hangseng, China A50, gold long red candle
- Italy btp long blue candle
- lean hog long red candle but movement too chaotic
- many other futures have very small day range

so?
51% chance Hangseng, China A50, gold will sleep today
wonder when market will move. so just be alert.

strange ... eur moving during Asian session?

12 Apr, end of week session

signals so far

eur up @936a <<<< this is strange ....
Hangseng up @1000a


Hangseng, China A50, NQ, India Nifty up @400p
copper, crude oil up @ 400p
and Germany buxl & bund down @407p
most likely all these movements were triggered by Hangseng.

Interestingly many human / machine traders generated the
trading signal at exactly the same time @400p
