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 :)

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.

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!!

    • 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?
