  1. There's an example of being flexible with your plan. I had it in my mind that a buy was a good possibilty. Two things though stood out. 1- Yesterday buyers wanted better prices than my first area 2- MBA mortgage apps came in lower before and I had a feeling the existing home sales might too and they were due at 10am. Given the action on open, I thought it might drive up anyway, so I bid just above the open for an entry on a small small retrace. I got it and took a 1pt hit. Meh. Looking at the action at yesterday's high(decent amount of trading but not looking like more than 1 tick above) I gave it a shot short. I held it into the figure because it was well enough onside and got my main target. All out now Btw, obviously ACH from now on.
  2. Was about to point out stuff in both your posts guys! Anyway, I did a simple chart for anyone who's interested:- My point is that while ACH() the low was good yesterday, the high was poor monday, the trend is still up and in my book, not major objective(other than 1400 hurdle) has been met to the upside yet. Listen to the market
  3. Nice one Josh, glad you had a good day. CYP too- hope you got your 1401's. I liked the short idea there for rot. I took the otherside on intraday low vol @98's. Felt we might ramp into close. Meh. Was something at least.
  4. Yeah I think it's good. My intentions for the thread were always like this. I never wanted to either A- commit to posting all my trades realtime B- having people want you to prove stuff C- having people try to copy you and fail. None of this is worth the hassle imho. Talking about approach and using the occasional realtime example and discussion however, is a different kettle of fish. I thought about trying to use google wave at one point but I got an email today with it's curtain call. Shame, it was a nice project. Btw, just had a look on alternative to and there are plenty of other options to look at: Google Wave Alternatives and Similar Software | Popular Apps Like Google Wave - AlternativeTo.net
  5. He's gotta get something right eventually by the law of averages. Surely. Courtesy of ZH
  6. I was actually looking at that the other day. I'd like to explore the different alarm options at some point, if not for ES or whatever I'm trading, for other products that are correlated but I can't watch as much.
  7. unfortunately for the ES, it has wasted too much of my time and I'm no longer willing to play. so there :evil tongue: see you after lunch
  8. True although I'm not a fan of "value" when it looks like it does here. On the other hand, it is the same area as yest open and single prints.
  9. This ES seems to not be able to do any thinking for itself right now.
  10. Yeah, those buyers had better start getting free and easy though soon. Can see plenty of reason to get up there yet if it doesn't - look out below!! Not breaking up though is not the same as breaking down :crap:
  11. Right here could be a good indication of the appetite for that move...
  12. why not. if it fails to follow through to the downside, the gap is potentially a tasty proposition.
  13. I felt they might want to test the 92.25 area but also thought after it did hold 94.25 first time we might at least test 97 or 99 before deciding either way.
  14. that was a bit heavy handed on the open- nasdaq was breaking through overnight lows though..
  15. No. I have friends who either live or have a holiday home there. Meant to be very nice.
  16. Was actually looking at 10yr before and it had a pretty big day yesterday- nearly a whole point. Anyway, looking at what happened, we turned from just below the edge of the upper high vol pit dev at 128'130. Thought is perhaps that might support the view of res buying.
  17. Very much in line with my view Tom. Possibly would add that if res buying comes in that the 1401.50 could be a target as that was where it got hit from just before the UK figs earlier. Who knows for sure ACH:cinema:
  18. Here is a chart with a few thoughts for today and possibly later down the line:-
