The longer she clings to this level without breaking down, the greater the chances of a spike up...


On 5 min chart first indication of potential upward movement....let's see if it holds...

Suppose you have you answer by now ;) ..... Unless something sparks us to go up today. Could also be a bull flag forming on the dailies before resuming north. However, very frustrating.... Prefer more intense movements, not this grinding...

Guess so. Also hate things grinding :angry: Can't have a repeat of yesterday... I blame the guys with the deep pockets for sitting out and waiting...

Guys, do you think we will test the new high made yesterday morning? I would love to hear your views.

I think we should see strong movement today. Direction is just not known. AM, downside seems likely.

Okay, won't tell them....but .......

Was deeply angry the other day where I was long....things looked very positive...tightened my SL.....walked away to counter premature closing syndrome....came back and saw my Stop was nicely taken out before it accelerated up again. Missed out on more than 100 points.

I'd rather have my SL taken out and the price drops further. Makes you feel better(in some weird way).

There, you said it now. Thanks Plasma.

Don't tell IG, but me long 'n waiting.


One trade this morning for a tiny profit ....sitting on hands. Not sure where this market is going to....does not seem to be up....

Tough times P... I'm long, but not convinced. Maybe the US will light fireworks this afternoon.

 

Don't wanna take an unnecessary knock, but I have a feeling we'll see some violent upward movement some today(or opposite might be true).

 

Seems like all traders are striking...

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

It's a mystery...  50 points and I would have been in the money now.

 

Sorry bout your Dow stops S. I have a relatively large exposure now as I added. Wanted to close it at 11:30 last night, but kept it.

 

Left work comfortable and when I got home saw my Alsi stops wiped. Sucks, but atleast not much damage.

US closing bell.

 

Dont miss the DAX train number 9900

 

We might get this during US open

Closing bell time.

 

Dow messed me up today. The U-Turn was to deep, it hit my stops.

Lets see what IBM does to Dow after the US bell.

 

Had a good Europe session, now a bad US session.

The greed got me today

"Attitude produces better overall results than analysis or technique, of course the ideal situation is to have both, but you really don't need both, because if you have the right attitude the right mindset then everything else about trading will be relatively easy even simple and certainly a lot more fun." - Mark Douglas, Trading in the Zone.

I find trading like body surfing, catch the right one and you will make it all the way to the beach.
