Short Dow 347.

 

 

Well held there...

[Foale 10]

oil posting record highs... $144.25

[BuzzLightYear 10]

Long ftse aug @ 5400

[Phil Mibbutz 10]

Well held there...

 

Actually, the posted 347 short was a short-term one, limited out almost immediately for +10 and stopped on the other half for +3. I did open another short a bit higher up, though, which I'm hoping will hit 250 any minute now.

Ching, out 250. (Sorry if this counts as a Blue Peter trade.)

[Phil Mibbutz 10]

Should've stuck with it, obviously. Sub 200 close?

[Foale 10]

Well done Phil...I did ok ...but entirely missed the 170 point fall from 7pm...

Probably had enough by then...

[Foale 10]

I expect this to lift off the lows this am.... with 12200 providing a floor at least til NYgets going

 

Long Dax 6223

[BuzzLightYear 10]

added another aug ftse long at 5370 this morning. Hoping to get the stops to b/e mid morning on both longs prior to ECB bits...

[eggbeangame 10]

A day for close monitoring: oil still pushing on at the mo, ECB rate rise expected which could exacerbate dollar down oil up, non-farm pay rolls could surprise either way and an early DOW close for a long weekend - not many will want to hold over the w/e in the current environment. All the main indices sub 30 RSI - DOW is sub 20 - hasn't been there for years - so got to be ready for a potential bear market rally break north - but can't see it happening unless oil comes off and the hot money temporaily switches home. Also got to be alert for a crash, if crude goes much higher.

[BuzzLightYear 10]

If the ftse heads south i can see 5250ish.... at some point

Does anyone here use CMC ? I have just looked at their new web platform and it shows live trades in a ticker. Fascinating viewing..............

Must have a look in again. I have an account, but stopped using them because the platform was useless for anything that moved quickly.

 

Wonder if this early rise is just another false sign of hope?

[Foale 10]

I have the old fashioned CMC...

 

and am up Ftse 44 and Dax 59 this am....

I will have to see their new platform...

 

although like other morning traders...many are too quick to post....

and I dont want to get called Blue Peter...several are +12/13 although others single figures...it all adds up though.

[Foale 10]

I played this am with 11200 'as my back' ...but trading in the ftse and Dax...

Now not going to be so easy... imo...as threat of sub 11200 battles with some rising longer indicators...

 

time for a break

[Taz 10]

This trade ticker from CMC is rivetting.........£250 a point short ftse, £250 long Dow, £296 short FTSE...........gonnna have to switch it off; sititng here like a rabbit caught in the headlights...........

[Phil Mibbutz 10]

Had a look at the new CMC platform. It still works painfully slowly and has useless charts. Can't see this trade ticker thing, though! Where is it, Taz?

[Taz 10]

I have only logged in to the web platform - it scrolls along at the bottom of the screen............

Ah, yes, got it now. Seems to depend on screen settings. When I looked before it was hidden.

Still think the platform is dreadful, though, but at least I've been reminded to withdraw the funds sitting in there doing nothing!

[Foale 10]

So what was the trigger for this rally...

[gilligullu 10]

So what was the trigger for this rally...

 

The non-farm payroll and jobless calms was in line with expectation. Even thou expectation was that the economy is getting worst.

[Taz 10]

So what was the trigger for this rally...

 

It all kicked off after NFP

[Foale 10]

Yes but what exactly WAS the good news...

 

OR perhaps just the absense of bad news !!

YM support at 180, thats all I see...
