Oh dear. I closed those longs on the way up. Damit. I didn't think the gap would close so fast. This is a volatile day.

Big loss for me today. Went long overnight. Now for some damage control and more risk. I'm keeping my longs and added another one now. I feel like I'm going to be poor very soon. But I need to work this high risk behavior out of my system.

Not that simple gents (and any ladies out there). There were two, almost three dips yesterday to buy. This bull is becoming long in the tooth, so now you need to buy the correct dip, or have your healthy margin and SL in place.
I see 40450 as some support though, the next couple of minutes might tell.
P.s. I bought the incorrect dip yesterday and SL triggered as well over-night
BTFD I guess....
Ditto on the 40450 and the rest.....

Remember buy the dip. Looking very red but buy when others get afraid.That is the lesson learnt but difficult to do when markets look red as now.

Morning All,
Very happy that I closed my longs yesterday @ 40800. Top 40 is setting up for a nice long oppurtunity again.
All the best for today

You mean with a stop loss ??
Went long earlier and got spiked out

Just make sure you buy the dip in the morning
Eish I went all in this afternoon. Thought the fed's announcement would bolster stock prices, not hurt them. 3 longs.

You think our own market will be positive tomorrow morning? just glancing at the IG market, I see we're having a bit of a sell off as well.

The Fed confirmed more QE. So why the heck did the S and P drop?
I'm extremely nervous about my ALSI longs from this afternoon. This might be a rather painful Thursday morning.
