Looks like it’s starting to form a breakout, I don’t think it will happen before US close.

Hmm. I knew the market would be lower today, I advised those who like to short that this is the second most safe moment (the other primarily being downtrends). You can always expect a short term bearish response to a high. Hopefully it's nothing ...

Literally laughed out loud. You can get 50 points Monty... or you could go for 700 if you want to hold until the previous high! I am keeping more in the bank should this drop lower. 24k doesn't seem unrealistic right now. I see no reason to be ...

Doubled down. Quite happy to hold this one and add more if it falls lower.

Long 24436, it broke out. This has the potential to finish up lower on the day, but I don't want to miss out.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Will hold out for now. Volume says we are closing in the red... no falling knives. Vix up 7.5% now.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Think it might have a little bit downside left yet, waiting for my entry. Always the difficult bit - trying to time the market.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Certainly has. I am not complaining because I want the Dow to continuously rise, and I profit from it, but it’s absolutely criminal that it’s circa 15% from it’s all time highs given current conditions. Edit: you could short from here. I still ...

I fell asleep waiting for it... LOL

Feel better!

Closed out for 150, think it’s going to pullback soon and I’ll re-enter. Probably should have held until end of day. Is covid boredom getting the better of Neo? Absolutely.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Puts down 12%, Vix down over 8% Wonder if this will have a little pullback again for the next few hours then spring into action. Bit boring right now!

Long 24522 Doesnt appear to be dropping like yesterday, pullback holding.

Institutions are just seeking any reason to push the market up, doesn't really matter what the news is. Will be interesting to see if the GDP report causes a drop, could be volatility either side but the direction for today seems up. I will wait for ...

Don’t short a market when it’s going up guys please, you give me heart attacks lol (but well done for getting out with profit)

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Took a very small profit on the one remaining open long. Let’s see what today brings. Gilead trading halted and Dow went parabolic for a moment.

There's some really good and reliable setups in the Asian session, I have been thinking about developing some algos for it. Attempting to teach myself how to code, bit frustrating when you aren't a technie.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Would suggest everyone waits for the reaction of GDP figures before entering trades today. Could be severe or the market may not care at all; you never know!

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

And it did, profit taken on one trade. One still running.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Yup, let’s see. Price is also breaking out now in the Asian session.
