    28 Feb Asian session

    these futures gapped down :
    index futures, major currencies

    these futures gapped up :
    crude oil, gold, bonds, NG

    not a good sign for day traders actually.
    It might take many hours before the trend is clear.

    What I am waiting for is Intermarket correlations.

    2 Mar Asian session

    it is the commodities trading session.
    crude oil, gold are moving.

    time to adjust crude oil chart volume due to changing market conditions.
    lower it down to say 60V.
    stop-loss - to increase by 2X.

    index futures - so far not much movement

    strange ...
    Shanghai INE crude oil chart froze.
    Exchange problem? or traders froze?
    or circuit breaker activated?

    max stop loss 20 to 30 ticks
    only use market order for entry

    something happening to Shanghai INE crude oil futures.
    is it closed?

    2 Mar crude oil summary

    post mortem / hindsight analysis / reverse engineering or-whatever-you-call-it

    it was a mixture of trendy and choppy movement with quite a few landmines / false/fake signals


    time up or down, max profit in ticks

    909a up, 270
    400p reverse down, 150
    520p down again, 120
    640p down again, 120
    840p reverse up, 280
    957p reverse down, 270
    1144p down again, 230
    1230p reverse up, 510

    max max profit 1,950 ticks, equivalent to $19,500 / lot

    decaying day range:
    1 Mar - 1150 ticks
    2 Mar - 730 ticks
    3 Mar - ?

    7 Mar Eur session

    [​IMG][​IMG]


    Chart lags terribly by about 10 seconds during today's Eur session.
    such a problem happens once in a decade or two.


    not unusual for it to happen during the US session.
    It could lag for 20 minutes!!!


    does it happen during the Asian session?
    zero occurrences over the last 2 decades.


    Anyway ...

    best / most trendy Eur index futures for day trading are
    omxs30, FTMIB, perhaps stoxx50

    most choppy, worst Eur index futures for day trading are :
    DAX, cac40


    NYMEX crude oil day range
    1 Mar - 1150 ticks
    2 Mar - 730 ticks
    3 Mar - 1000 ticks
    4 Mar - 880 ticks
    7 Mar ?
    extremely extremely extremely healthy day range


    Shanghai INE crude oil - most of the time, it was closed
    because the circuit breaker was tripped.
    They should allow greater amount of current to flow then
    it wouldn't trip that easily.

    8 Mar Asian session

    upload_2022-3-8_9-22-39.jpeg

    what lousy charting software.

    traffic is simply too heavy.

    Time to double my stop loss.

    also time to stretch target profit.

    9 Mar US session Freeze day # 3 trading

    what lousy charting software!

    as usual, about 1.5 hours before the US stock market opens,
    USD-based copper, crude oil, gold will move.

    That is the time when the Europeans and Americans interact with each other.

    15 Mar Asian session

    mega movers :
    hang Seng index futures (due to China tech stocks listing in the US?)
    crude oil

    and perhaps China A50, Taiwan Index

    Hang Seng Tech Index futures - moves in tandem with Hang Seng index futures

    Natural Gas - moves in tandem with crude oil.

    Shanghai INE crude oil moves in tandem with Nymex crude oil

    lately, US index futures hardly move during the Asian session

    OK. let's see whether India Nifty will move massively later

    Luckily no freeze.
    if the delay is > 0.5 sec, you can't earn $$$ from such a market.

    Today Hangseng signals.

    it is an easy-to-trade day.
    the reward : risk ratio is very good.

    such a day is quite rare.
    most of the time, the market is very choppy.
