Dax is disappointing. IG client sentiment changing; 40% long, 60% short. Greed Index at extreme greed. Price has already retraced 3% from its top and is almost oversold on the daily. Trump impeachment news has probably opened the markets red. Send a ...

Argh, I know. I have won my previous 60 trades without a loss. This combined with the market constantly pushing for new ATHs is making me nervous. So I’ll put a massive order in tomorrow to compensate and lose hahahahah

Closed out my Dax longs this morning - should have stayed in a little while longer. Horrible when you close out prematurely... worse than if you’re with a woman!! Market is looking over sold on an intraday basis now and volatility has peaked at its ...

Had a quick look at the COT on Finviz. Wonder if our stats guy wants to do some testing and produce analysis? Edit: I have reviewed the week ahead. Volatility is near its bottom again; therefore I expect a bounce and some volatility in the ...
