RE: SIMSCI 26-June-2006

I have made a mistake today. Partly due to physical tiredness. I saw opportunity to Long SIMSCI at 280, (in fact, 279.9, if I was sharp enough). I was hesitating for nothing. It was not fear, but, my mind was stalled at that moment. All setup was done, and yet no action. Mistake is a mistake, I can’t argue with market, nor would I chase the trade.
From 10-min chart, RSI started trend up before lunch break, and entry line was found at 279.5, with maximum chasing level at 280. This was supposed to be a small quick trade.

SIMSCI 26-June-2006: Likely choppy

by Gav Leave a Comment

Market is likely to be flat for the coming days ahead of Fed meeting. I do not expect a nice trending intraday, instead it is likely to be choppy.
I am watching for any potential trading opportunity.

I have decided not to trade today due to some personal commitment in the afternoon session. No short position for SIMSCI was established in ther morning after watching Nikkei making a higher low and failed to form a failure swing in RSI. It is likely to move up and might lead SIMSCI to bounce as well in the afternoon session. In addition, a potential double bottom formation was found in SIMSCI chart as well.

Some charting problems in the early of the week, not a good week with only small gain. I close the week earlier with positive note.

SIMSCI 23-June-2006: Potential short

by Gav Leave a Comment

In the first hour of trading, downtrend is formed. With Nikkei loses around -200 points and HangSeng loses around -150 point, sentiment is negative biased. I am looking for opportunity to establish Short position on SIMSCI.

RE: SIMSCI 22-June-2006: Long Trade Closed

Long position of SIMSCI was closed at 282.4. Volume did not support buyers to push up further, and RSI was forming failure swing. A descending triangle was forming as well. I do not like the situation like this. Closed the trade with small gain. +0.4 point.

I was very unhappy with the liquidity of SIMSCI. Sometimes it does give me the feeling of ‘Why on the earth I am wasting my time trading this dummy index futures?’. Look at the daily volume, it is hardly cross 5000 contracts.

I do see opportunity in SIMSCI futures trading, however, given the lack of liquidity, I am considering switching to some other better choice.

This is 10-min chart of SIMSCI as at 3.30pm.
