They are celebrating they got something correct! LOL

 

It has been happening the last few months, when data comes out better or in line with prediction, the market rally, as the worst has already been factored in and is correcting itself.

Posted this morning here:

 

"This is not an 'exhaustive selloff' and should break the lows easily."

 

 

 

 

Shame you have stopped posting your live trades....

This thread is mostly being used now for

 

Dax and Ftse posts..... Many Dow traders seem to have deserted the ship

Sideways channel now. Might be worth a short if it breaks below 280. Or maybe a long if it goes past 320?

 

 

agree, I am flat..

nearly got caught out a couple of times today...

 

 

although have not traded the Dow today ...yet...

I have been in the chatroom last two weeks, mainly posting my entries & exits there. It's been an interesting experience, as other trades have shared their thoughts and visions and potential 'hindrance' levels live.

 

I haven't abandoned ship, but since we've been sort of low on contributors lately, I figured why not see if others who might not be aware this room exists, are interested in participating here as well...

closed at 5470, hit target :) +70

 

 

You know I was just thinking that I should have run a Dax and ftse Contract trade alongside my cash ones... and just leave them...

 

 

always tomorrow...

 

 

Well done on that one...

Thanks. I have changed tactics slightly (you might have seen my post in the lounge) and using these contracts and just holding them till they hit target areas then close them. Working ok so far, made about 150pts this week :)

Do markets close in 30min?

 

My IB charts are cut-off there...

or at least they were, I just reloaded them and now they show up normal hours.

 

Not that I plan on putting on a trade now...

Great minds think alike, eh?:\ Pity I scaled out, but no complaints about +55 after a few minutes! I have the same problem with posting, hence my lack of activity on this board recently. Just wish we could get some more recruits around here.

Well we will have to show them with our pin point trading accuracy...

I am still going to do the cash trades that have worked so well this week...but I want to stick on 1 or 2 Contract trades to garner some +50's

infact they are the ones that I am more likely to post about..as in theory they are lower risk...over a longer period...

 

todays signal gave me one long and then earlier one short on the Dow...that I would now be thinking about closing..

 

The Dax would have been one long from near the start...that I would still have had open...even though we are 30+ off the highs....

 

Of course there trades always make more in the major market direction which is of course...still predominently down...

Cant see anythin to really recc. a rally this am...

 

dow futures on back foot... in low volume..

Oil over $146

General market indifference as no NY

 

Days like this tends to blow one way then the other in wider swings than normal as small positions move the market more than they normally would

 

They often end back where they started...Lets see.

Had I been awake early enough...

 

Contract short Dax and Ftse from the off...

then job in and out of the fall for a few cash trades the way to go

 

in the end only did the latter...

 

made +41 Ftse (3 trades) and +16 dax

getting fed up with low volume so might be done for the day...

see you all next week...I am done now

 

I made 647 points this week.Average per day was 129

.. happy with that especially as Monday was a net 8!

 

Next week more contract trades that I leave open

in addition of usual cash trades/scalps

My largest individual gain this week was 43

Want to improve on that.

LOL Deliberately keeping trade size small at the moment...although will increase it a bit next week....Still think in terms of points though..

and the addition of contract trades will add to my margin use also...

 

While there is considerable discretion for me in terms of cash trades...

try to keep with the smaller trend if not the bigger one..plus times of day I avoid...etc etc...

 

I want to be more mechanical with contract longer trades..( ie dont think too much...Signal-and -act)

To be clear I still only expect to have them 24 hours...or less..so long term relative... so perhaps up to 10 cash trades per day per index(ftse/dax) (5 for Dow)...and 1-2 Contract trades...

 

Goven I can really only look at 2 indexes at a time...tend to do ...ftse and dax 7-1...then switch over to Dax and Dow 2-7ish.. And I do take several hours break at differnt points during the day...in case you think I am screen staring for 12 hours per day..

 

Anyone else like to run through their methodology... basic set ups up etc...

Oh and lastly my smallest chart time frame....now 15 mins!!

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
