I share your pain, Foale, having shorted earlier this morning. Still in now, but wishing I'd just set a tighter stop and taken the loss.

Funny how the trades you don't do always work out best.:doh:

Normally I'd be going short at this point, but staying away from the DJ today.

Up channel about to break, or one more spurt north?

Looks like one of those days when the Dow just wobbles along a line for a couple of hours, in this case 12500. (PS. Only posting this because I'm bored and my recent predictions always seem to result in the exact opposite happening.)

That was quite an upward spike, FW!

Just that every trade I post on here seems to be a loser, even though I've been doing OK overall recently, admittedly mainly through making 750pips on oil last week. I even made back 10 of the points lost on the last Dow trade by shorting higher up, but of course that one was over in seconds and wasn't posted!

The TL curse strikes again. -14pt.:doh:

Short 416, 400 target

Well spotted, Foale.:applaud: Meanwhile Postman and yrs truly were suckered into going the other way.:doh: Still, only losing 15pt on two stupid longs is a kind of success for me. At one time I would have dithered around widening stops and probably lost about 50pt.

Nearly stopped for -20, so v pleased to be out for -3, even if it goes back to 460 now.

Short again 30pt higher...

Marvellous mistiming for an instant -12.

Short 455 hoping for a late droop.

Short 657, 635 limit.

Closed 660. (Take it while you can!)

I was just about to go short at the same level and you put me off! Now long 649.

Oh well, +2 is better than nothing...

Long 662, 680 limit.

You're a cynic, Buzz.

Price reversed almost exactly where I'd drawn a line, yet I still entered too early and ended up losing. :doh: Downward move fizzling out and MAs pointing up, so will it go to 725 again now?

I expected the falls today.

And out for -12.

OK, short 713...

720-25 is/was another of my key levels. Finger poised over the sell button.
