55 points of upside vs 20 points (or less if I get there first) of downside.

And why did you go long FTSE so many times if you were sure it was going down?

Thats true, you posted about DOW, but I posted my view on FTSE.

I went long because I got confusing signals and thought correction is over, and forgot about my basics. Thats why I got slaped.

I saw ftse marking continuation triangle, Dow, Dax was making all time high.

Thats why technical traders should not use their brain, follow the chart.

FTSE has taken a bit of a beating recently - its not over yet...

If you want Juicy Steak, you need to make a stand, you need to have a view and build your position in consolidation area rather then when market is moving sharply.

For example look in today and look the chart attached,

You get 100 point strata way. When that happens you don't get entry point.

Thats what happened today. AND thats what I was preparing for.

I was wrong, but thats what happens in trading, you can not be always right.

Instead of Green juicy steak, market gave Red juicy steak 😡

Too true.

I've been on the wrong end of a move often enough.
Keep your losses small, your wins big and your chin up.

Long Dow 948.

My hypothetical time line for future FTSE move :
-----------------------------------------------------------
Week ending 13th Dec - FTSE correction done, start moving UP.

13 Dec - 15 Jan - FTSE 7000 (may be above that)

By mid 2014 - Market crash, bubble all around.

Bears comes in and rule the market

:smart:

No way to tell SD. They publish daily and there is no back info. Will take a snip every day and build up a history, will be useful!
