I like how the European traders are manipulating their market in the beginning of the day by buying the S&P future first pushing it up a few points, creating a false illusion in their market that the US market is rising and then following it by ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Very possible scenarios and obviously we are not that far from these levels both in DAX and Nikkei. What I am seen and have seen all my years of trading is that, at least the European markets, do not have a brain of their own. They follow the US ...

Good points, thanks for the observation

I understand what you say which is that every drop is a buying opportunity. The explanation you provide is exactly what everyone is thinking right now but not the way everyone should be thinking. And I am applying it specifically to this market. ...

I dont remember the driver of DAX in 2015 to answer your question, but one think I want to say is that by definition when the market is going up and we agree that the driver is Trumprally it is because we expect his policies to be bullish for the ...

Thanks Dutchy, agreed on all points. Also with your previous comments on the reasons why the market could turn south. I think the market underestimated till now how uncertain the times are. And uncertainty means first we sell then we see how things ...

I agree with arigoldman above and you here that at the moment USD/RUB is untradable, meaning that it is either neutral or with risk to the upside but still not totally clear to me. That is also the reason why I have not posted anything lately. You ...

USD/RUB

good assessment

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I think we reached 11600s on very very thin volume the first day of the year with the US closed (also future). I dont want to make the bold prediction that this was the high of the year (it would be horrible to reach it on the 2nd of January) but I ...

60 seems to be a good first target. I am currently not in the trade. Fair value according to last year's budget should be at 55. I am not in the trade because I am not sure if this euphoria in oil will last..
