19 Aug Abundance day # 11, Eur session

Germany bond

A picture = 1000 words.
You need an extra tall monitor to display Germany bond chart and ladder.
chart Y axis can be compressed but ladder can't.
only some trading platforms allow you to compress ladder vertical size to take care of such huge movement.
max profit for today might be ~ 5K euro / lot.

also most index futures up.

what happened so far...

and to some extend gold, oil

21 Aug US session

what happened so far ...
most of the trends (especially index futures & bonds )started during Asian and Eur sessions.
come US session, it seems like now we are left with skins and bones and insides and no thick slab of juicy wagyu beef steak.


OK. Let's see the crude oil inventory news

28 Aug Eur session


Germany bond

what happened past 24 hrs
- Germany bond, gold have been trending very well - ie easy to earn money.
- Index futures.
some are trending nicely.
but some are moving in rather chaotic messy jerky spiky manner (ie easy to lose money).

choosing a good trendy futures is very important.

29 Aug US session, endless Abundance day

what happened so far ...
story has been rather similar past few weeks.

Germany and Italy bonds, gold up.
so far, max profit from buxl is 4600 euro / lot.

gbp already went down

most Index futures down. again movement was not that trendy
due to whatever reason ( ie not worth trading it )

29 Aug Asian session, endless Abundance day.

oops! posting #918 date should be 28 Aug.

yesterday Platinum day range suddenly widened.
Anyway I will not focus on PL as its average day range is not that great.

What is going to happen?
It will be same old story.
focus on index futures, gold, Germany & US bonds,
and perhaps oil and gbp.

most likely there will be fewer signals during Asian sesion.

29 Aug summary

the day is not over yet but we can award

MEGA star performer award to GERMANY BOND
And
Most condemned very poor performer award to CURRENCIES.

Luckily I have archived quite a few currency futures from my active Workspace.
When there is currency war, then I will reinstall it to active workspace.
