BLOOD IN THE STREET

[BBW]

I see the US following suit today (and IG same tonight): down, up, down....

Nope, down, down, down...

[BlythZ]

That's very brave of you Chubby, but we value your input here so we don't want you to sit out on the street so please take it easy on those longs we are already sitting at 40,000 on IG

Ta ..but I have had a absolutely horrendous start to the new trading year..I think im down to 3 out of ten winning trades compared to over 85% over the whole of last year..Maybe too much trifle and too little homework..This market is driving me up the wall!

Any takers at 39,953?

lmao

 

Lmao...finally something I can smile about..Well that and the fact that i just finished amending my limit order to 42000 Am I nuts or just insane? Rhetorical question! no replies allowed!

 

Wait... I just caught the tail-end of this... Are you long for 42k?

Hmmm, ja, in general one would expect with > 500 down after hours some long opportunity at pre opening. Let's see what the east does.

chinA STILL CLOSD THO

Should not type with a tinkie in hand ....

Can I just say: I am playing the "what if I haven't closed my shorts" scenario over and over and over and over in my head.... Dammit! This is "the one that got away" !

*edit* The last time we opened down gap 1% lower we rallied to be evens for the day... That was the 2nd week in Jan.

Rand weakened & gold is up too... + for the T40... I'm not buying, it's just that the T40 is a different animal

only 1 gold stock left in Top40 ie ANG, with R60bn market cap...I am afraid it will not be enough to save the day for the index

[fabes]

Down and up....ouch.

 
Flip... Having lost out on money is worse than an actual loss!

I feel with you!!! Today alone 800 points:( but we''ll get more opportunities.

Great.... I did get a piece of this short! NOT!

Down and up....ouch.

[Lekkerry]

Plasma.... my advise is: DO NOT TRADE ALSI (Top40). It is toxic! Heavy sell-off, decent pick-up just to sell-off further. Feels like the Cape's 4-seasons-in-one-day scenario. 

 

<shaking head>

 

You mos a BB man .....my IGM dallies show the bottom BB band being pushed down, with the next resistance level being 39 825 ish.  Also on the weeklies, the BB MA has been breached.  Now, either it may bounce off the BB lower band or continue downwards.  The nature of the dally candle shows that bears is more in control, and together with the fact that the previous resistance level has been broken, the probability for some more downward action might hurt bullish sentiment...  We now have the 2nd leg down on the dailies, already 4 red candles where the last one seems likely to have a close at the bottom.  Lets see .....

 

Me not trading atm ... but my paper trading today would have bagged me 300 pips.....if it could only become that simple in my head ....no premature closing on paper

S&P 1757ish now !!!! 

now 1756 . this  dip under 1770  could be a final shake out of stale longs before a move higher (  however, a dip under 1,770 could do more than trigger one last wave of stop-loss selling, it could trigger another avalanche of emotional selling)

This is a moer of a shake!
