Great calls guys.

 

What base time, if any, do you use in your calculations?

 

I use the base time of 12:00 from the day before. (So essentially bring the Top40, FTSE, Rand/Pound and S&P500 to the same point and check how they behave from there to try and determine what the Top40 does the next morning). Is 12:00 the best time to use ?

Got stopped out at break-even. Re-entered lower and made a few. Little confused by the weakness.

Alsi starting to look stronger.

Stop loss about to hit. Eish. Got it totally wrong?

[strydomk]

Also Bhp aus up over 2%. Doesn't scream panic. As always could be wrong.

Hi Guys, i would be interested to understand why you are going long. I have 1c short and have made 180p so far. Am expecting the 9am rush to follow the 8:30.

I see no reason why go down more than 0.2% and currently 0.5% down. Oil went up 6% on Friday and holding now. Expecting therefor at least for JSE to open flat.

Oil is looking good. Cant see reason why market will not move up a bit.

ABT, well done. I managed similar trade with similar timing, but only 3 contracts for 681 pts.
Market a bit up and down to sideways at the moment. Watch & wait.

Yeah I have learnt or am learning to only trade when I'm confident in the trade. That trade was at resistance and top of channel. Always had to be some selling.

[pdpshares]

Short 45800 as said. Cut at pivot. 5 contracts. 1400 points.
