Live Indices Trades

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 :)

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.

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!!

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
