DOW 7th August

[fazalv]

In my opinion, one of the hardest days to trade this year.

Did anyone manage a winning trade today?

 

[Skimbleshanks]

Yes. All three of mine were.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 1000 POST

I got 1 out of 1 for 53

 

[Skimbleshanks]

Ohhhh, I hadn't noticed! Thanks for the reminder.

1,000 ... now that's some serious rabbiting. :cheesy:

Although all three were winners, perhaps I should add that I would normally do six to 12 trades, so that does say that the market wasn't quite as easy as it usually is when there's a whopping great double bottom at the start of the day.

Skim,

Honoured to be the recepient of the 1000th post!

CM,

I read your reason for entry, it must take patience and years of experience to come out +53 on a day like today.

Both well done!

I lost 3 won 3 - unfortunately the losses were bigger than the wins - will post my reasons and lessons learnt on CM's intraday stuff - only saving grace is that i got in at the same time as CM on the inverse h&s - wish i hadn't then made the mistakes wot i did

Been on a night out with the boyz from JPM so too tipsy to post more until tomorrow

I lost 12 points today.. I shorted at around 19:00 hours at approx 9120 and it did go down but it bounced right up and as I was spreadbetting you tend to lose some on the spreads.
I was shorting on the rally's today as I thought the longer term charts looked weak.. however, just looking at the chart in hindsight, the direction was clearly up!
Oh well, luckily I got out at a good time..
Cheers
