I keep pulling out too early. Wish it was the same story with the fairer sex.

Closed positions for good profit. Feel a bit iffy about vol indexes.

Hmm - a bit more kicking in. Added to positions...

Well, the market often interprets news based on its own institutional agenda.... As we know, generally speaking: Bad news market doesn’t go down? Bullish Good news market doesn’t go up? Bearish

I went long last night, also small. Exact same rationale: expected a bigger dip given Trump is shafting China. The impact was approx 1/8 of the market impact following Iran’s nice fireworks aimed at the US base camp. The volatility indexes are ...

Whoop there it is - vol charts are so accurate

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Such a tough life! Well done Monty, I just closed out too. Tomorrow be bullish given the deal signing; volatility will resume again soon.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I am sure you’ll be fine. It’s odd that the s&p just clocked a new high and the Dow is lagging.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I would imagine it will be quite bullish on Wednesday when the deal is signed. The Dow is behaving quite oddly compared to S&P and Russell. I am holding too...

Hmm, I wouldn’t say there’s a possibility of a deep pullback at the moment. Natural caveat - black swans (random events) could always cause big pullbacks. We are firmly risk on. I would expect there will be small pullbacks in the coming weeks based ...

Welcome, Pianist. So, according to the vol charts the Dow will return to bullishness shortly. Might be a little bit of further downside left. Gold and 10yr US Bonds also seem set for an intraday drop which would support stocks rising too...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Agreed, doesn’t look like it’s going to test it’s previous high until next week. Although, crazy hour as affectionately coined by Delta is a great thing! Might take some partials...

ICMarkets have just fucking stole some money from me. I cannot believe it. I also have an outstanding complaint regarding an FX trade where the TP wasn’t triggered and now I am majorly in the red. Something is going on with this broker. They are ...

Bought the dip...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Well.. it’s firmly risk on again lol. Dow is easily hitting 30k soon. Next minor retracement will probably come from US-France crap. Brent looks like good value right now if you sat out the volatile period like moi. I am long.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

It was quite intentional. Market tanked after London and US close and was restored to parity by London open the next morning. So painful to not participate in that move but it would have been more painful to realise unnecessary losses, I guess. When ...

We’ll lose some fun if we aren’t posting when we enter but entirely up to you, Delta. I hope we keep this going in 2020. The Dow just recorded another new high. Is anything going to stop this market rising?!?!

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Interesting how price rebounded immediately at the worst of this. Suggests there will be not be a significant or immediate crash. Without serious escalations this could be over soon enough. We also have Davos on the horizon and the France-US tech ...

Iran fires missiles at US base. Wow. Trump will surely respond and we have our retracement.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Per Bloomberg, an Iranian missile hit the US green zone last night. Don’t think anyone died but let’s see if Trump responds today. Its one of those things that could blow up any minute, hour as you know...
