That was not posted as a criticism of anybody. But when you stick your head out in this game there is a good chance of getting it chopped off. As we all know. Also to just follow somebody blindly could get one into trouble when it goes wrong. Anybody who 'knew' what the market was going to do would very quickly not have to work again.

There are some amazing contributors here and may they continue. But follow blindly with caution. In the end the market will dictate and go its own way.

 

Just a view. 

every call here is a gamble. 50:50   that's why their is a market!

I have always said it takes guts and conviction to make a call here. You will never get it right always!  If you get 6 out of 10 you above the bar!!! Therefore one must look at the past history of people making calls and to my knowledge A has been often right than wrong with some amazing calls thrown in!!

 

Every forum will have its distractors who do not contribute anything of note but come out of the woodwork to castigate someone. Thats normal human behaviour when following wrong calls as monies are lost and someone has to be the scapegoat!

 

Id rather have A making calls even if they wrong as it gives me more insight as to what other peoples technical chart  feel for the market is. So do not stop A. This may be just a poor spell you going through. ( I already said the MMs maybe be watching you but that's more of a joke) Winners don't walk away. They always come back fighting,.

 

One Tip...I always do this...If I have 3 or more losing trades in a row, I sit back...wait for a good opportunity to trade...but I will quickly close the trade be it 10 points in profit.. Although 10points seems small, that winning trade confidence just comes back and thereafter its back to normal....Done this many a time and always works like a charm!!

 

So Hedge be a man  give us your views on the market, otherwise back to the woodwork!!!

Predictions posted here. One view.

31/7 -3000 point drop coming, bears preparing for assault, Aug down, first 2 x weeks of Aug should be very bloody

1/8. 15 Aug for final leg c down.

5/8. Adding shorts big time.

6/8. Bullish

7/8. Out of all longs.

8/.8 Down to 44500

11/8. Bearish. Big time shorts.

12/8. Bullish.

13/8. Bearish

14/8. Bullish. Aug strong month.

All a bit confusing. But part of the game and it is still for everyone to make up their own minds.

the gap close is the best thing that can happen 
but once we take out the high of yesterday you should start buying and holding
before then we might see 45500...44700 will be even better :)
for all intense purpose im short USDZAR and GBPZAR and not intending on closing them just yet, if that means anything to anyone

David, what is your target on the GBPZAR short? 

It was 17.65, but will review at 5pm.

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

This is now where the MM will take the GBP/ZAR up 15c to take us up 150 points. When we go up and the rest of the world go down or stay the same.

For the last 2 years August, September (futures close-out month and bullish) and October (earning season month and bullish) was bullish and made new highs?

 

I follow my charts and waves, can't assume anything with her! ;)

With Naspers down +-3.5 %

CFR Down, BILL down

I dont see much upside today.

 

Unless EU CPI & GDP throughs a curve ball.

 

But with bad German data, I dont see that happening, as Germany is the growth engine of EU

Just my opinion

It seems like August has been a pretty bad month for me, i am going to hold on to my longs this time and maybe add when the 60 min chart starts to show signs that she is about to go higher. Naspers really spoiled the day for Bulls
