I think he meant to say, trading whilst bernacke is talking is like driving your car with 20 racing pidgeons as pace makers.

Mother F**kers.

Just done me nuts and gave someone on the other side £5.2k.

That dax certainly is a strong beast.

I'll publish the results at the end of the month in the journal.

Yes, not posting so much (that's the only way I can offend less people - sorry SD). I've been going over a few 'timeless' articles on the forums after I found myself guilty of some of these sins recently.

Lol, seen it already mate.

Also been having a quick read of some of the earlier posts from when we used to live call in 2008.

A good read and good memories, I liked the Bush era very much.

That was your very rapid 50% retracement

Edited to explain Dow 15540 - 15426 drop.

@ Postman,

I don't think anyone can read the thread you posted as it was a private trading room if I remember rightly over the year of 2008. It was set up by the one and only Firewalker. Obviously you were a member and is why you can read it.

does bring back good memories though. Even including your trades and all.

 

[postman]

That was 66%.

Another hour and we should have the 150% retracement.

(Again talking about Dow drop)

ftse now +23 strong since 9am - looks like i was out way to early seduced by a quick buck or two

i feel a short/long coming on

ftse stayed strong 'til 3 then -27 weak into 4:30 close. That's net 27 x ftse stake (ftse stake is double dow stake, of course)

Nice work - and since the Dax hasn't given up an inch of those gains it made today - your well out of those shorts. :clap:
