Nope... either way is a gamble at the moment. Will sit a while and do the peanut-gallery thing.


Meant to say well done on those short calls as of last week Lekkerry!!

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

Sorry, closed long for a 50 point profit, as I said, I was only looking for a scalp.

Will wait a bit for another short entry.

I mean short

still holding that 33975 futures short Jakes ? I'm als short 30 pts lower just worried about those long tails down showing buyers only slightly lower down.

Another small sell off tonite on the S&P will plunge lower in the blink of an eye.  The risk/reward is heavily skewed against owning shares here me thinks - tomorrow the air should be clearer to see if there is a chance for a month end seasonal bump up

Plasma, I will buy-into the lower highs as support / motivation for running shorts today

 

Bit busy, could not scalp with some shorts. Pity. Ranging to the right on 5 min chart with slight lower lows and lower highs. Break up, break down?

I"m here and am already short @33975.

 

But only looking for a scalp this morning though.

 

Gold up about 2% which should keep us higher.

 

Gold starting to come off again, now only up 1.1%

Cut a few of my longs yesterday, learned my lesson on trying to pick that bottom!But this morning back in long, US still got higher counts before their correction starts and we are due that bounce into month end due to the seasonal factor!

Yes wait and see. Europe is down and dropping. Didn't A always say it goes one direction on the first hour then turns for the rest of the day?


Speaking of A, where is A, and RS and PIpman?

And Bear Jakes?
