The last time something like this happened, the ALSI dropped 1000 points.

 

Asia will copy how the US will close. They will pull down the Nikkei, which in turn break ALSI lower

Or we're just going to move up with the others when they recover...!

 

Resources very oversold (healthy rotation) and their macd's turned up, don't see how the ALSI will just break lower from here!

 

But time will tell!

Sell order waiting: 6 x Jun14 ALSI @ 42750. To open a short position. If I get filled I'm leaving it overnight to cover tomorrow @ 42100.

 

Happy trading.

Moved my order to 42635.

Because trading the indices is not a linear / methodical approach (PERIOD).

From your perspective, Lekkerry is faceless and to a degree nameless, so any opinions expressed are just that, opinions from someone on the Internet  :D

Because the amount of pain being dished out by our market is not yet unbearable. Agony for some means a safer trade for the professionals and they will not take part until the pain is significantly higher than what we're currently seeing. 

 

So, expect the same kind of price action. Up we go! Maybe not.

Filled! But I don't feel good about this one. There's no pain at these levels. I should have waited for 42750. Anyway, if the market lets me, I'll bail out at 42525. 

And out:  all 6 @ 42525 (entered at 42585). That wasn't a good trade at all. Like I said I should have waited for a little bit more pain before opening my position. Anyway, 6 x 60 points will keep the wife happy. But that doesn't change the fact that it wasn't a good trade.

 

Happy days.

I'm not in front of my terminal, can someone tell me what the volume is like?

1439 (15h30 - 15h45)and 1628 (15h45 - 16h00) contracts. Looks like they are opening short positions. Maybe not.

Africa will never be regarded as adult until all of its organisations stop admiring and protecting criminal dictators.

MSM et al presents (sponsored) opinion as fact and seeks to indoctrinate. Journalists without ethics proliferate in a swamp of filthy lucre (BBC inclusive).

In response to decades of racism by fearful minority whites called apartheid there will be an eternity of racism by revengeful majority blacks called all kinds of excuses.

Corruption is not yet compulsory but it may as well be - Aggressive africanization uses the racist Employment Equity Act as a club.

Too many humans are too busy copulating to bother about the irresponsible, unsustainable and progressively catastrophic population explosion. 

Whilst humanity prevails so will evil. Evil will survive and thrive through sophisticated indoctrination and other conscience-suppressing disguises.

Desmond Tutu has been praying for the downfall of the ANC since 2011. Clearly he needs some assistance with such a difficult and worthy task..

Cockroaches still lurk on sharechat because it is prime real estate for their con artistry, duping and grand theft.

Open interest increasing to 141865...increased by +- 1000 contracts in last hour

However money flow decreasing with new highs!!

 

Note:  PMI for China, Germany and US all below expectations...

Key is today how Dow and  S&P reacts to disappointing figures from China this morning. If it ignores them then definitely new new highs for rest of week!

You can see why she hit her head this morning...once this line is cleared then bombs away! :P
