The bears certainly got hammered today .........

a very impressive move higher.

BUT .............RISK FX not confirming rally as A/U, E/J and E/U stagnant

I have to wait to see where commods open

If copper and oil gap up then one can say rally justified ??


Until then I will give weight to risk FX which is telling me this rally is fake and nothing but short covering due to Merkel and Sarkozy meeting

10 year Italian bonds were > 7%

Hungary bonds > 10%

on a normal day this would have punctured the market

So many things can happen and what will happen will, probably, take us by surprise. The market has, practically, infinite resources. You do not. What happened to you today may happen again tomorrow. You may be right that the market is going down but, when? To.morrow,. Wednesday, next week?

I'm going to wait and see before I pitch in and I will not try to spot the turn beforehand.

Yasmin – very good advice from Split(y)

Also, you should always check if there are bank holidays on a particular day and avoid trading on that day (short time trades).
 
Oil gaps up @ $100 and Gold @ $1568

nothing spectacular.........given the indices rally , I expected Oil > $101 and Gold > $1590

Commods doesn't support the indices rally, neither does Risk FX

My bias remains short

Good data just released out of Australia - AIG Manufacturing Index came in at 50.2 in December versus 47.8 in the previous month.

BUt commods and risk FX not being supportive

interesting conundrum...I will work it out soon as the volume picks up!!
 
trading at this time of night.... bit of a late one... good luck... :)

Firstly I like the thread thanks Jasmin. An observation however is I think this is an example of where too much info regarding news and economic releases can interfere with ones judgement of price action.

Thank you for your nice comment

The thin volume is presenting a good challenge

Gold and oil have both moved higher along with risk FX to support the indices rally..........they have lagged but have now move in line with a rally in indices !!

Although EURO still remains < 1.3 which is still bearish for me

I will now wait till 8am and study price action on FTSE before taking my next trade
 
Yasmin has 1 positive trade out of 7 and a loss of at least 120 points / pips.

"4.20pm
i am short dax from 6070

LOST -40

I have found the comment above to be very sexist and rude. I have reported you to the moderators.

I have seen your profile and you are a vendor. I suggest that means you are a signal seller ?

Please feel free to post your live trades here.
