Day trading derivatives futures.

15 Aug Abundance day #9


NQ day 1 Abundance day, day range 340 points
NQ day 2 Abundance day, day range 325 points
NQ day 3 Abundance day, day range 190 points
NQ day 4 Abundance day, day range 210 points
NQ day 5 Abundance day, day range 125 points
NQ day 6 Abundance day, day range 175 points
NQ day 7 Abundance day, day range 275 points
NQ day 8 Abundance day, day range 290 points
NQ day 9 Abundance day, day range 200 points?

day range > 100 points considered as very good
seems like Abundance day will continue for many many days.


Now look deeper at NQ on 14 Aug.
downtrend started during Eur session.
movement was a little jerky spiky but decisive.

Towards end of Eur session & early US session,
movement was very jerky spiky chaotic erratic . Those who attempted to trade
during this time (including me ! ) would suffer losses.

Those who shorted with huge quantity during Eur session,
and hold some position for many many hours ( and avoided stepping on those landmines ) till end US session should be very happy.

again major focus will be
index futures, gold, bonds, perhaps oil.

nowadays US bonds not only move massively during Eur time,
it also move massively during Asian time.

ie there have been very strong interest to long it.
 
15 Aug US session

sigh....
again super heavy volume.
again esignal hang for many minutes (hopefully not half hour or more !)
impossible to trade.

I think this is the worst freeze I have ever experienced over the past few years.
well. that's the problem trading US session - volume far far too heavy.

GBP Long Gilt - it appears to be tradable.

France FOAT - tends to have small range. volume rather decent.
Spain BONO - small range, small volume

Korea Treasury bond - don't like its short trading hour. you ended up gap here and there.

very unlikely volume will be very high. so very unlikely my charts will freeze again during early US session for half an hour!

again movers were
index futures, gold, bonds and to some extend oil.

super star performer was Germany buxl.
hmmm. instead of having sooo many big monitors, perhaps I can cut down
to one monitor, and trade Buxl only.
But market condition / environment ... keep on changing.
I think for today, max profit from buxl could be ~ 4000 euro / lot.
yesterday max profit was enormous 8500 euro / lot.

RUSSELL 2000

other than Russell moving, the rest seems to be going nowhere.

Time for me to sleep too.

NQ day 10 Abundance daay, day range 130 points <<< relatively pathetic
day range > 100 points considered as very good.


NQ movement was rather limited and spiky.
ie easy to lose $$$.

major movers were
most index futures, gold, most bonds, perhaps oil and to some extend gbp.

super star performer is still Germany buxl.
16 Aug max profit from buxl was humongous 11000 (11 thousands , no typo error) euro / lot. again how nice if I could just have 1/2 or even 1/4 of that.
wonder what was max profit in Jun 2016 where its range was at record high.
hmmm. I should seriously consider using one monitor and trade nothing but buxl.
