Mini dow was having a negative opening, and subsequently moving laterally. There was opportunity to established short position, however, with tiny profit. The risk of being stopped out was high.

Gold reversed its initial movement after positive opening. Intraday trend turned down. Shorting opportunity apeared.

Chop! 21-Jul-2006

Well, just as expected in the morning, we had a choppy , boring trading day in SG futures market. No trade was done.
Looking at volume of SIMSCI, I can fully understand why major oversea broking house like Interactive Broker does not bother to offer customers to trade. With just around 2000 contracts traded in a trading day. I guess, there is still long way to go to promote SIMSCI futures trading. I do not incline to relate this to market condition, it is just a matter of industry interest over this product.
Alrite, result reviewed. I got my first negative week. Making two losses in the the first two days of the week, and subsequently caught up by some personal works or did not see rewarding trading opportunity.

No trade was taken today, given the big gap up this morning, there was no riskwarding opportunity to enter SG futures market. Apparently, today might be a good day to do some puntings in SG stocks market. That’s not my game.

My trading performance seems to be stalled. I gotta do something to get out of the current situation.

We have 3-digit gain , over +200 points in DJ last nite. It is likely to have some bullish hangover in Asian markets. SIMSCI volume is building up in the first half an hour, though it is still not impressive. Chart wise, I would prefer SIMSCI over TIMSCI for day trading today. I will be looking at Long only for this morning.
