does seem odd...

 

well I think it's in part because nothing changed... what they did was expected

the market already priced that in last time

 

what's left now, is casual whipsaw chop

nothing here for me to trade...

 

I'm off, cu guys later this week!

Agree with you foale. Have been building up a stake on some ftse Aug longs...

 

Have to say it's looking pretty bearish out there... but the DOW is sub 30 daily RSI as well as being at the yearly low, so think it's ripe for a spike on some 'good news'. If we don't get that though, down we go...

I don't see where that good news would come from.

On the other hand, yesterday new home sales figures were bad, but we didn't see much reaction of the market. Not that it matters to me, because I think the news is irrelevant ;)

It could be Phil....

 

However I am going for the Dow forming a base just under 11800 at the open ( the lows of yeaterday )then a gradual rally back to the highs of yesterday...

 

then pushing on to to 11950-12000.. by the weekend..

 

 

( So better get in now at 11750-60 lol)

The Dax ...usallly the first to fall on a wiff of fear...is holding well the last couple of hours..and with some heavy volume going through since 12:00

 

Also starting to see a few "tails" appearing on those 15 min bars...

 

I have noticed in the past that Thursday lunchtime can see the weeks reversal/ tipping point...

did I say that? :eek:

 

fwiw, I'm still bearish as hell, the ES has yet to find support, the DOW might be at the January lows but we closed at the opposite extreme yesterday, so selling pressure completely overwhelmed any attempts from buyers. This being a Friday, in a bear market, with no major news on the map, I'm going to stick to shorting the market unless there is a very clear long opportunity screaming at me.

 

Good trading everybody!

I'm having trouble thinking ahead one week, let alone two months :)

 

I fear there's not much here to hold this up though... see chart of the DOW.

Wasn't really talking about a day trade, Foale, just the SB quoted 'daily', because I wasn't sure how that related to the Sept future at the moment. Anyway, haven't traded the DAX for weeks, so it doesn't matter much, although if it goes down to 6000 next week I might feel inclined to kick myself where it hurts.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
