Didn't long the ONL - waiting to see what happens.

I fancy the 1403.25-1405 area a lot more.

 

[piggybridges]

tempted long here at 1410...just gonna watch it for now, though...

Strange - Robster missed the 2.30 pm deadline on the other thread.
Hopefully hasn't fallen under a bus or something.

I promised under pain of death today not to trade so missed posting for the weekly comp. All back to normal tomorrow though

shame I bottled that. Was about the low tick as it turned out.

Still, relatively happy with the other trade for 3.4 handles.

Bored of watching this now. later

3 trades today... scratched 2 of them and settled for 2 points on the last one. Very slow and boring as you expect on a bank holiday I suppose.

Just to get you guys on the right track today :cheesy:

10:00 – consumer confidence, Richmond Manufacturing

Whilst the market is still balanced, it seems to be getting into a tight range, so first & foremost on the agenda today is avoid getting chopped up.

Where we are now, I don't see any bigger picture reasons to take a long or a short. We already took a dip into that 1403.25-1405 area I mentioned yesterday, so my first thoughts are to look for a reversal after a poke down through the current ONL of 1404.25.

Shorts - 1424.75, 1422.75, 1416.75, 1411 (ONL), 1408.75 (YC), 1407 (YL)
Longs - 1404.25, 1403.25, 1399.50, 1395.25, 1384.75

Plenty of levels to play off.

 

[Pat494]

Watch for a possible long from near here imho

 

[robster970]

78 and 88 for me in addition. Expecting a sell-off now, probably off the back of the 3pm news.

 

[Pat494]

Watch for a possible long from near here imho

In and out for 2 ticks profit on the predicted long

 

[DionysusToast]

Missed 1403.25 first time

Got it second time though, got T1 @ 1404.50 and will let it ride - no screen shot, having finger trouble atm.

 

[DionysusToast]

Ugghh... 'alpha softwared' out of the trade...

Don't ask - 1 bloody contract again.

And Rob - I know, OK?

 

[DionysusToast]

At least I've found a bug in my software...

:clap:

You aren't going to gloat about me using software that isn't ready?

Nor that I should know better?

Very nice of you, sir... being in the industry & all.

I'd gloat to be honest
