Added again 10683

Out for +150 in total. Couldn't care less where it goes now but me thinks it could well get to 10450 by next week. who knows.

5 ema over 10661 dax and we are away

Positions on auto pilot now. Watching ASX five four nineteen area, could be a nail biter.
10:30am Crude could take a hit.

 

[MichaelJohnFX]

Bedtime order misses by 2 or 3 points, had a few more a bit higher, sigh

Oh well 1st of Spring tomorrow.

Would be good if they could final get MT4 working on a mac!

"Price is a liar ... (to me) price is just a reflection of current liquidity" - John Burbank on @REALVisionTV

From what i see in a lot of retail forums (not that we aren't all retail, but i consider people on this site above average) quite a lot of traders are short (at least on the dax anyway) makes me think we've got one more squeeze higher. NFP tomorrow to be the catalyst?

I'm very much of the mindset, think what the sheep would do, act like the whales lol

FTSE Take a look around 6775 - 80 for a squeeze, otherwise 6750- 60 imo.

Bank holiday has completely messed up my schedule. Genuinely thought it was Thursday today

One factor that may affect the S & P’s behavior is the evolution of the ten-year treasury yields of US government bonds. Since mid-July, the yields to 10 years have fluctuated between 1.45% and 1.63%. If increases the prospects of a rise in interest rates by the Fed is not to exclude that yields exceed the 1.63%. This level is important from a technical point of view because if surpassed may signal an upward movement in yields. In this scenario, the impact on the stock market would be negative.

Squeeze has happened, can bulls sustain - looks a bit lacklustre to me.

I'm currently short 6825, lets see.

 

[postman]

FTSE up 40 points in 30 minutes, thats going to end badly.
Looking to enter short if 6820 doesnt hold.

Mixin' surf 'n turf eh, like your style chronic'. Just don't do it in the kitchen!

I had it in my mind that a move up to 6830 was certainly when I took my trade (and set a limit order)...but I think a move down to 6810.... blimey just happened!

 

[postman]

Closed at 6802
