hmmm yeah, long term is it healthy? I dunno.... or is just giving the market a bit of smack...... ? interesting to see how things settle after its all digested , seems like a permanent way forward ? material benefits, or desperation?

I dont know.....

yes makes me frown quite a bit
anyway short 13700 fut

Good short. Do you agree that there isn't any real support until 620,600, maybe even 580?

I'm betting on this coming a lot lower before the close.

exit half at 13635 = +65

 

[shortorlong]

exit half at 13635 = +65

nice one .. what happened with your earlier short though? .. you were "scaling in "

 

[Phil Mibbutz]

Short 640 -- so get those longs on now, if you want to make a profit.

Price can always make support along the way though

My next target to close out the rest of my position is around 13575 fut though.
Will see how things go, this might consolidate in mid-air, travel back to the highs for a re-test and then plunge. I moved my stops to 13650, don't want to let the unrealized profits vanish into thin air too much. That would still be +115 points, covering the loss I made on the earlier short (-30, suffered some slippage unfortunately).

PS: I only make bets playing poker

See my previous post... a loss that I didn't see coming. Doubt anybody saw that big a sike coming anyway.
I was going to add on the open, presuming we were still hovering at the same level.
I was unfortunate to suffer slippage, but fortunate enough to have only a small position in.

 

[Phil Mibbutz]

Locked in 25. Much better day than yesterday already!

 

[firewalker99]

exit half at 13635 = +65

took other half out too at 13635 = +130 - 30 loss = +100 for the day
might take another trade after lunchtime

I wonder if Im thinking what your thinking??

 

[dc2000]

anyone fancy a Long ?? after market provides exit

 

[firewalker99]

Shame on myself for not holding on....

Ooooh! Who knows?:idea:

Well, i take it we're both 'charties', we'll see the same chart, but will we think the same about what we are seeing?

Did you enjoy the slide? Painstaking waiting for them buggers, fun being on one though. I didn't get one iota of it.

Good trading.

 

[dc2000]

tight rein on this one, with no tail on futures bar buying could be left for tomorrow

 

[oiltanker]

on the shorts psychology. I am happier short on the indicies [forex don't matter] because the risk is to the downside. Moves down tend to have more power so are quicker fear being stronger than greed. Perhaps pre June when that carry trade was on longs were a no brainer but now with everyone so jumpy i can understand why some like shorting setups. Although i agree the trading strat should work both ways.

Having said that i love this rolling volatility.

So will 13550 hold? Perhaps a long with a target of previous high? too late in the day for me.
