i made few analysis on this forum but that doesn't mean that i trade all of the instruments i analyzed. Part of them i treat only as live "indicators" to other markets.
So here i will focus on the actual trades i take with specific symbols.
Methods i trade are different because it depends of market conditions (volatility, risk off, risk on ) .
this is journal so i won;t disclose any trading system here and sometimes published trades will be before the fact sometimes after the fact because this is not signal service.

1. SP5500 - after Sunday i open i wlll watch levels 3026 for potential short scalps (or 2944 for longs) and then after Asian session develop next trade will be on London or later on US session. All depends how the story will unwind.
2.  i will look on all FX markets , oil, gold for potential setups but not necessary immediately after Sunday open.. let big players put some money to these markets first.
3. For any further trades on London and US session i look at VIX and Us 10Y Bonds, DXY ..  IF 10y bonds will be strong i will look for dip buying on Gold.

for now that;s all... tbc

Fundamentally i will keep focused on these economic events below and of course new Covid-19 cases from US (that's what started to be important again...)

Daamn this market is slow as helll!... but  i noticed  that SP500 gapped lower and sellers don;t have strength (for now) , So i think there could be a correction on US indexes overall .. 
then dollar should weaken in short term (until London or US session) So i entered two makret orders . 
1 .  Buy EURUSD 1.1224 
2. Buy GBPUSD 1.2340.
trades on chart. 
How i plan to manage these trades: I'll probably wait 1 hour maybe longer and then if market allows me , i will switch to breakeven because as i mentioned this is short term trade idea...  tbc

already breakevened on GBP and close manually EUR . too slow development will wait until London. GBP probably will not survive because it is only 6 pips from my entry. (stop loss) ..

Bloomberg wrote that gold "edged closer" to 1800$ ,... so i sold some gold from the top already protected on breakeven. 
it may not reach 1800$ as Bloomberg writes about it today ,,, maybe on another day.

So from my point 3 from first post in this journal : ". For any further trades on London and US session i look at VIX and Us 10Y Bonds, DXY ..  "

Now VIX is selling off, 10Y US Bonds made a new high but reversed, DXY is correcting from last week gains..

What could begin sell off on Gold? Lower Bonds' prices. I don;t think that it is happening now and the trend will reverse or something but need to pay close attention to these instruments. Of course SP500 will also at the same time give very clear signs of dynamic up moves. JPY should weaken too . .. 

ok  Gold short scalp closed +38 pips.. 
GBPUSD in progress

closed short scalp on SP500 for almost 9 points profit.. 

For now it looks like end month flow without clear direction , Bonds are stable but below current weekly open with possible correction lower, DXY weaker , VIX lower but potential bullish pinbar is forming on h4 chart.

i am long on SP500 at 3055.20 with target around 3077  , 1to1 correction of the last down move.
waiting with breakeven until Tokyo open. As i wrote in other thread , there were big volumes (around 1.4 billion $ buy)  at the end of US session so i think this player (s)  is serious with his positions. it won't go straight up but as i wrote earlier i am ready for breakeven ...
