Just you and me these days...

 

Even the Dow only traders seem to have disappeared

 

wondering if this am so far a bit of "pump and dump"

 

Hopefully people will reappear when the hols are over, although maybe we could try posting in the non-premium section?

No mate, I had to leave. My stop was set at 525 so -20.

 

I couldn't watch as the day unfolded as I had other things to attend to.

I came back to watch the chart last night and to be honest... bit gutted... had target limit orders set at 633 and would've all been triggered.

 

 

Yes you really nailed it it terms of direction and target...next time you will be banking the 150points !

Let's hope so. It looks like the dip lower occurred on the news about crude though. So it would've been a re-entry. Still a shame.

I wonder if this is what all the whipsawing is about...This is a DAILY chart...and we have broken up and are now retracing back to the break...

before attempting 12000..

 

Also Phil this week is going to be my last on here...its not worth it for the 2 of us.. Seems to have tailed right off on the week I have been away...

 

In retrospect.. We would have been better all staying on the one thread on T2W that was amalgamated from the ftse-dax-Dow threads.... it seemed more of a community..

 

Disapointing... although everything seems to have a limited shelf life these days...

We could always go back there and see what happens? T2W has ten times as many members.

Everyone is free to do as they wish, but no one is obliged to post here each and every day. We all take breaks, trading can be an intense and stressful performance.

 

Next to that, it's summertime, a lot of people are taking breaks or are on holiday. I'm sure things will become more active once more people come aboard. For the record, I count 6 different people who posted this week. Indeed, Phil and yourself are pretty much above everybody else in terms of post count... but not everybody makes that much trades per day. I used to make one or two each day, but since this summer the number of highly probability trades have dropped a bit and I've been trading more cautiously, taking two or three trades per week.

 

If one wants more company, there's always the chat room where one can post your live trades in the company of others.

And how many of them are actually traders? Btw, there has only been one post in the private trading board since I left T2W in April. Afaik, everybody moved over to here. And I remember vividly that a lot of members of the live trading community over at T2W preferred to have a smaller group of contributors than a huge number of lurkers. This doesn't mean that everybody keeps posting live trades, it's logical to assume that not everybody has the same degree of success in trading as you guys perhaps do.

 

For sure if one does not feel comfortable posting his live trades then I'm in no position to force him to do so. A lot of people have been contributing and a lot of people have been posting live trades, some are more active then others. That's the nature of trading. We can't all be scalpers :)

 

Good trading to everybody.

 

PS: There has also been decent activity in the thread 'Live FX Trades' and 'Trade Discussion and Analysis".

Remember why we came here guys. Freedom to talk shop without the idiots at T2W, plus boards full of trading talk instead of spam and people looking for arguments.

 

Half the members are holidaying and there are some still who are posting on the main boards. Plus of course firewalker has forgotten how to trade so he's not posting much! :rofl:

 

Once the onslaught of rain and school terms start again, the board will come alive once more imo and lets be honest, T2W may have 150'000 members but at the end of the day, all but about 5 of them are shit!

Hi Guys,

 

Unbelievable dollar strength this morning, commodities selling off, chf, euro and jpy weak, why are the futures not rallying?

Whats going on?

Started yesterday and yet the markets sold off all day...

Higher lows on YM at 100 200 and 400...target 800?

Also the double top at 670 has not followed through unless we make a lower high next week. I just see this as strength all round for the indices unless ofcourse the correlations have somehow been askewed???

Just dropping in to say hi. Done for the week and on my way for mojitos after an interesting week.

 

Currently 80% of my focus has been on the Nikkei. Its quite interesting how shifting your focus on one market takes your focus away from another. Though I still like the ES due to its liquidity, I am slowly moving away to trading the Asian markets only.

 

Heres my analysis for today for those that have missed it: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f2/es-nikkei-analysis-august-8-2008-a-4281.html

 

Ive been trying to get involved here posting live trades but i have found it close to impossible to keep up while trading. Might be easier if traders can upload order statements directly but could also be a privacy concern.

cahoonas to short this Phil.....

 

I know this is hindsight now, but I couldn't see any short opportunities arise. Obviously Phil is right, if you aim for 10 points or so, there's always the chance, but the pure strength that pushed is higher at the open was amazing. I just couldn't see price reversing that day.

 

Been a while since I did these, but here's my view:

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
