Re: Daytrading - FTSE, DAX, NASDAQ, CAC (& maybe some other instruments too!) 
Right, it's Monday 19th December... waiting for this mystical Xmas rush to happen on the markets. Lets see what this week holds! I start on Sunday night despite my wife's protests.
News leaks out on Friday about Belguim's downgrade. Furthermore, (super) Mario Draghi was accused of too much bond buying ( = too much intervention). All this seems negative for the euro.
I short EUR/USD & AUD/USD (both risk pairs): EUR/USD
Entry : 1.3039
S/L : 1.3069
Target : 1.301, 1.30
Reasons : Concern over the EURO zone and Belgium downgrade weigh on sentiment, both aussie and euro had bearish patterns in the short term, hence the played the sell off down AUD/USD
Entry : 0.9971
S/L : 0.9999
Target : 0.9945, 0.9930
Reasons : Concern over the EURO zone and Belgium downgrade weigh on sentiment, both aussie and euro had bearish patterns in the short term, hence the played the sell off down
I also short the CAC a little while later: CAC40
Entry : 2951
S/L : 2991
Target : 2911, 2901
Reasons : - Commods open weak at resistance and moving lower.
- Risk FX opens weak
- All indications for weakness ahead into asian session as uncertainty over EUROZONE weighs
- CAC 40 daily chart = bear flag
- 10 mins broken symmetrical wedge = bearish with a lower low registered and bear flag
- 60 mins = death cross pending with LL and LH's resuming
I'd closed these pretty quickly as per my summary below.
Later in the day I took an OIL long (though I must admit that these scare me!!!) US OIL
Entry : 94.98
S/L : 94.4
Target : 94.5 , 95
Reasons : North Korea fired a missile, this kind of event is usually bullish for oil ( North Korea test-fired missile on Monday: report | Reuters) RESULTS
So how did I fare today?
EUR/USD short +15
AUD/USD short +32
CAC short +40
OIL +30 TOTAL (Mon 19 Dec) +117
On that note, this has taken me much longer than expected.. Peace out
