Virtually guaranteed then Entirely up to everyone how they choose to trade. I just want everyone to be aware of the risks that they are taking. Vol is bottoming out (stocks) expecting another rise tomorrow. Hopefully it’s sustained.

Stocks and gold have an inverse relationship. Buying both at the same time guarantees you a loss.

I am still in my longs (took a partial Dax profit this morning). The market is whipsawing and breaking key levels. Fairly indecisive right now but the market didn’t react that badly to the trade war comments. Hmmm

Sorry to hear. Perhaps spend some time reading about risk management, as a rule of thumb you should never risk more than 1% of your account on a given trade. Personally I risk a bit more, but 80% isn’t viable. Furthermore, this market really is near ...

Risk currencies still doing well (AUD/NZD) against the majors. They’re usually the first to fold when it’s risk off Still feeling bullish for now, even though I feel this bull run is exhausting. Edit: just checked volatility and momentum on the ...

Uh oh - just checked IG client sentiment and there’s a seismic change in sentiment, especially with the Dax where it’s now 60/40 shorts to long. Dow is 67/33. This is usually when things start to change. Retail late to the party in buying, but they ...

Vixf and price action looking bullish on 1hr dax. Agree with you Delta, I don’t see any concrete reasons to substantiate a big drop yet. I have 1x Dax, 1x Ita40 and 1x Hang Seng open. About 50 lots in total. I did say the market would fall this ...

Long dax at -1.71%. Hopefully this isn’t the start of the big retracement I mentioned haha

Which is the 100ma? I cannot tell for the life of me what’s going on within that screen lol

Of course, these things are absolutely relevant. Please continue to provide stats :-) The drop isn't far. Volatility is flat on the s&p, gold is peaking. One little run left if trade deal is signed? P.S - seems like a dip is incoming next week. Vol ...

It doesn’t make sense to short this market yet.. Soon absolutely. Don’t go against trend!

Ah, yes but you’re talking as an investor where as we are taking position trades I guess. When it’s risk off, of course, there’s nowhere else you want to be positioned other than stocks. Palladium is incredibly bullish and also has my interest. ...

He's using icmarkets. I use them too - very good ECN broker, tight spreads, great customer service - highly recommended.

I was long the Dax, but only small as I am waiting for this to topple! Took another long again today too at 13192.7

Am I missing something - having seen the orders I would say he executed buy stops in the right place. It seems D1 utilised the pullbacks and bought dips, scaling in with increasing momentum... Drawdown in indices is difficult to prevent given the ...

Felt horrible sitting on the sides today. Indices were so well positioned technically (I was watching the Hang Seng +1.32%) but I just can’t stomach heavy leveraged buying near tops. Now I have FOMO! I believe there’s a retracement due tomorrow or ...
