Did China inject their liquidity? Markets are up 0.20% at London opening which isn’t a good sign if so...

Yep. I think you have to tread carefully here folks if you don’t have Delta’s pockets. Price is not reacting to good news and is tanking off the smallest bit of bad news. Rallies may be there to fool you. I would wait for a strong reason for bullish ...

I’ll put a question to all. What makes you think the market won’t rally up and make another leg down? $20bn won’t do much...

If you manage risk well or can stomach the loss, it’s ok. Market will only rise over time. Although, I would highly recommend staying on the sides until this market has a reason to go up. Right now it doesn’t have a reason. I think there’s further ...

Just got stopped out. Huge, huge loss.

Thanks, 2be. Appreciate the PM - I know what gaps are, I just didn’t see one in the charts. I also managed to close one long, small. Seems like the WHO have done us a favour. Those puts expire 3rd Feb, right? Monday could be very bullish.

I can’t see any gaps? Do you have a pic? I have checked charts that don’t offer out of hours trading, which shows higher highs and higher lows since the initial drop. Could be a positive.

WHO meet to confirm today and will confirm whether it’s a global issue. It’s not. But if they say that.. fuck. There seems to be a double bottom on the 1hr and 4hr. However, the market didn’t react to good earnings for Apple, Tesla, Microsoft plus ...

Yikes we drop again. Hopefully this is just the Asian session dragging it down; not sure it is given Powell’s comments. I hope WHO don’t call this a global emergency tomorrow, since it’s not given nobody outside of China has died from it.

The timing and volume of the put taking was significant to me. Several pages back I said there were anomalies in the market with high volumes of puts being taken all of a sudden. Those puts preceded the dip; it was institutional - it happened before ...

Mean reversion, the market wanted it as more buying room. I am concerned about high volume bearish options, though. When the institutions want a heavyweight dip they get one. Greed has overcome my analysis twice now, I am furious with myself. Apple ...

It’s kissed below the 20ma and closed above. As it stands, nothing major. Trump has issued a tweet to say ‘it will work out well’. Not entirely reassuring. Argh. I bought on the basis that it was determined it wasn’t a global issue. Now apparently ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Yikes. I should have listened to the fear and & greed indicator. I mentioned there’s been a huge rise in bearish options volume. That was institutional money. I said it several times and didn’t listen. argh.

11 positions open, just added one on the FTSE too. Yikes. I am concerned about big volume puts in the options market. This could mean someone knows something we don’t. Volume has been increasing which may suggest there’s a bigger drop coming soon. ...
