Sorry mate.

I'm holding 6930 with a stop @6950ish. I knew that the close would be barking...If I'm wrong I'll take the hit and move on!

 

[postman]

Last short 6930. I'll hold that one!!

Your +40 already.

What a mad day.

I will add they send an e-mail.
I took a margin call once and added funds - never again.

Take the hit and move onto the next trade, I regard the margin call as the ultimate stop loss (only keep a fraction of my trading fund with broker) and I add that I also have not had another margin call since (today included!).

I'm looking at the 10 day s&p chart, and this week looks very similar to last week!

Meanwhile US markets slowly giving ground.

The Dow has the same shape as last Friday and it tanked into the close.
All the buying has been used up on the previous 2 nights closing over $2Bn worth. No one has any money left and they've p1ssed off early for the long weekend.
-ve Close today!

 

[postman]

If dow breaks 465 I will change my mind, but until then I'm staying short.

 

[postman]

Bounced off 465, (467 actually, chart error. :whistling) On its way down again now, should get steeper.
