Profit-keeper did its job at 12 415. Cute profit of 36 points. What others call a "stop-loss" I call a "profit-keeper". Too much negativity in the world.

When I've found myself in your situation, trading has felt like a game of "chicken". Do I hold and ignore what has happened before, or do I sell down to a sleep-better-at-night position? Or "chicken out" and close all positions, regrouping to ...

Brixen, a little good news for you. The SPx is heading for the high of the opening 30 minutes. If it's true to recent behaviour it'll keep going up at 45 degress until US lunch in just under 2 hour's time.

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Agreed. This could be dominoes going down today unless the earnings after market close lifts the mood. A shaky Friday always preceded a Monday crash.

On the contrary, the stop was too loose. 5 or so years ago FXCM published a report of their analysis of their customer's accounts, especially their profitable customers. What they found was interesting. Their profitable customers, regardless of ...

For once I make the effort to post a call and of course get stopped out. News pending. Should know by now not have a position open with news pending.

Agreed, divergent views are necessary to provide for a functioning market. You'd be surprised how many markets follow the FTSE lead. A friend of mine runs an unit trust in South Africa and how the JSE mimics the FTSE drives him crazy.

Always has been and will probably continue to be so even after Brexit. It is still the largest stock market by capitalization for the European timezones. Bizarrely Brexit proper will drive the FTSE up because most of its components trade ...

FTSE hit bottom at 6020. After the fast elevator down, for next hours until US session it'll take the slow escalator back up, taking the DAX with it. This does not constitute investment advice.

DAX Futures Sept 2020

The FTSE wants to go to 6000 level and thus will drag the DAX down with it.

DAX Futures Sept 2020

You can't trade the DAX without keeping an eye on the FTSE once it opens. I have their charts side by side since 2011. The FTSE loves to move towards previous day's high or low; this morning it headed for yesterday's low. DAX follows this action in ...

Once you know that a psychopath has key traits such as never being to blame, that everything is a conspiracy against them, that they have no empathy and how they love attention, then a lot of things make sense, become predictable even.

DAX Futures Sept 2020

You're right, nowadays its not the newbies who are funneling in money at the base of the pyramid, its scared central banks. In case anyone doesn't know this, the US Fed is a share issuing-company established in 1913. Who are its shareholders? The ...

Don't go knocking the fresh meat. We need them, well, their money at least.

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Well if you get tired of the wild rides, then the more sedate FTSE offers profits with less stress. It's like the DAX but on valium. You seem to enjoy trading off market structure and the FTSE has that too. If someone enjoys Sam Seiden's ...

DAX Futures Sept 2020

Agreed. That's why I also trade the FTSE as my second-choice instrument. When the DAX is chopping around like it is this morning, I switch over because, like this morning, the FTSE doesn't hold its breath for the ECB. A nice, solid trundling down ...
