I am having some problem day trading SIMSCI. I should say, it is a little bit difficult to find trading opportunity within the day. First problem lies in volume, for example, in the first two hours of trading today, less than 1000 contracts were traded. Secondly, intraday volatility is not impressive enough to generate attractive potential reward.

I do not have trading idea for SIMSCI yet. Instead, TIMSCI (MSCI Taiwan) futures caught my attention. It is a volatile index, and traded in pretty good volume. Intraday chart looks good with trading opportunities.

Another quiet day for me, watching the market. This month’s profit target seems to be too far for me to reach. I am studying and adjusting the figure for next month.

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.

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.

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.
