Volatility has dropped a little from yesterday. Still take the same position: we need to break highs soon otherwise we will be bearish. This could all just be smoke screens and the creation of more buying room. Not saying it is... market will let us ...

I don’t disagree... looks like there’s a little push up and another drop coming. If highs don’t get broken this week I think we are on the way down. Gold looks set to rise, VIX is getting more volatile every day.

Long dax at 13075 Reduced risk to 50%. Time to be cautious with US-China news, ECB policy and UK elections. Good news: short term volatility is nearly peaking, it may increase a bit more but I expect it will drop in 24-48 hours (famous last words). ...

A-ha, enjoy. I was meaning to ask you, I can only get 250 lots (indices) max with ICmarkets. You had 800 on right? How did you manage that... special dispensation? I would have thought even with a pro account you’d get 500 tops. I am seriously out ...

Lets all continue our success into the New Year. What a thread. Glad I found all of you. Lets be prepared for this drop when it comes. Watching the Dow over the next week with interest... will we test ATHs? It’s important.

I guess we all are. Good day for profits! Keep an eye on the charts. We need to start contesting the previous highs soon otherwise it means momentum is shifting. European indices are recording lower highs, but we gauge direction from S&P and Dow.

He isn’t fighting the broker, he trades with an ECN broker who only take commission. They don’t care whether he wins or loses. When you are trading a market as liquid as the Dow or S&P, regular traded lots of 100 doesn’t make you a target either. ...

Took profit on my ftse and added another 50 lots. Everything stacks up. Playing the daily as opposed to scalping like most here. Also took early profit from my Italy40. Don’t like it. Can’t find data on that online. Can we expand this to general ...
