8.5 today for me. Pts not ticks.

 

[Pat494]

Well done guys ! Was it an easy day today as even my 'umble self made my 2% ?

 

[Splitlink]

I'm doing Nasdaq but I suppose that it was much the same as yours. I've helped my account a little bit but it made me make 5 trades of snatching points whenever I could see a profit.

I've had a lot better days than this but, again, 5 trades, all profitable for a total of 8 points is better than losing.

 

[robster970]

I think it has been a good day for all today - bit of luck, bit of skill

NEW YORK (Frankfurt: A0DKRK - news) , Oct (KOSDAQ: 039200.KQ - news) 22 (Reuters) - The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 ended flat on Monday after a late-day bounce, as worries about slower global growth hitting corporate sales were offset by earnings that beat expectations.

Some little things to note for today on ES......

1406.50 was defended quite rigorously on yesterday's close and was tested in the first 90mins of European session with some volume (well using overnight volume as the context here)

1414 was rejected yesterday in RTH yesterday and also in Asian session and has once again been tagged in European session but volumes were low for both tags indicating a lack of buyers up here.

There is moderate news today and the Fed interest rate decision.

It's quiet, but Nasdaq is moving down towards its low point

I've managed to move my stop down to +12

hi Splitlink,

Nasdaq is nobody without AAPL trending up.

I had the SP500 as 100% bearish from yesterdays close.

 

[Splitlink]

Sorry, what is AAPL? I just closed +16, but it seems to be going lower.

 

[SuddenDeath]

Sorry, what is AAPL? I just closed -16, but it seems to be going lower.

AAPL = aaple computer, might be the biggest nasdaq component

sp500 futures about to break 1400

 

[Splitlink]

I meant +16!
