I see people are losing money going both short AND long on Dax this morning. 😱
The market makers are really doing their job well today. 🙁
Who'd do this for a living. 🙄

Just read a thread in trading strategy section, writer was saying that consistency is a way to lose money and in fact you should be following trend every time!

Doesn't that mean be consistent in your trading and only trade with the trend, or is it late in the day and I'm tired and don't see the point 🙂

I paid some Northern numpty who was short a few bob (aren't they all) to sit and watch the screen all day until the dax fell by more than 2 points and call me immediately.
I just got the call so I'm long Dax at 690 for £500 pp, if it drops another 2 points I'll put some serious money on it.

I'm up £3,000 in the time it took to write that last post. The poor Northern lad has passed out, its more money than he's seen in his lifetime. :innocent:

Although Yellen has emphasized the economy isn’t meeting the Fed’s goals, the markets recovered from yesterday's decline.

It's always the same thing, on Fed's days, buy buy buy....

No -you are right. Your view is different from his because you are not a Vendor with something to sell.

Short AUD/USD 😛

Got some balls, going short when its at S3 and looking like reversing, good luck :whistling

Look at Weekly Chart. Don't try to catch a falling knife.

emoun, your trades are weird

Grab some serious profit today. AUS/USD Closed. 👍

@Dinos & neil - I just posted a very polite rebuttal in the "consistency" thread...

DJ, is "b*llox..." a technical term, i think i may keep that one for further reference, could come in handy.....😆

short TF at 1099.5

think i look at too many markets ...the s&p has support for now just below current levels ..

todays low is now the critical area for the dow 16337 and the nas100 needs to hold 3595 imo ..ftse needs a quick reversal and the dax will probably move up just to be nice on turnaround wednesday 😆

i'm still in slight bear mode and a bounce tomor is probable but could be short lived imo

when is a bounce not a bounce ....lost the plot now ha 😆

to cut a long story short the s&p should go into serious mega bull mode now if it holds 1883 ...in my opinion this is the MOTHER of all bar none! i know other people on here have it in their analysis but not for the same reason as far as i can see ...all the other indices have also held their equivalent levels and all bounced today....so s&p is the one to watch 🙂

some cycle people have it turning tomorrow but they have had a bit of a flat tyre lately 🙂

yeah, it stands for Break Out to Lowest Low Of 10 days - in the context DJ used it, though, it just means b*llox
