anglosaxon world up there. lloks like us has some independence from uk style economy.

if i expect market to make large move down within 1 month, say 10 daily ATR's. What is the best combination of maturities and exercise prices ?

excellent. i give you permission to continue. dont worry about the mods. so, how can one create large bet using puts ?

if swinging, no difference between stock indexes, CL, gold or FX or even individual stocks. Of course one cant produce perfectly smooth upward moving equity curve, like with scalping edges

yup, will be a buyer st some point. Done same stuff with LNKD. buy at 62. Frequency 1 trade a year or so.... waiting, waiting...

let me expand my observations : based on what i have seen, every politician and celebrity is supporting fb this or the other way. Yes, it could be any other website but it is this one. And getting people to use fb exclusively costs money and connections. I can see daily adds for fb in AU...

so, after all, forex not that bad as noone has supreme manipulation rights unlike US controlled markets. especially crosspairs, where most of my profits come.

thanks. fb is big enough so no issues there. it has institutions support and lots of connections looks like. i am still waiting right shot to play this one. do 1 trade or so a year in stocks. lnkd moving up, hard to see fb falling a lot.

shorterm trading markets change often. if you think you can make a fortune if current market persist for a year, then go ahead. else edge will fade and you will be with no job and no edge and no money in 2 years. i do swing trading and work and shooting for stars (large bets - for me)...

good trading ! i burnt myself with small stocks back in tech bubble and instead playing major markets swings only for convenience reasons. You probably right that smaller markets better. Do you feel any heat from HFT ?

i do not use ta to derive signals. what i found is signals ALWAYS match some kind of ta construct so i thought ta is somehow imprinted in my head. However, more examples showed that is not because ta or my divine signals but because ta levels are everywhere :D

extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. listen to frontmen.

of course. you will notice movement once is back online. it will likely reopen against your position. no reason to believe that this is not staged for advantage of few, based on level of ethics these days.

warning shot. next time exchange will be down just before flash spike in either direction and will come back at extreme point and all your stop orders or margin calls will be executed there :D that s why i prefer forex and play stock index moves via fx risk on/off.

turn around any way you like but this is the fact supported by history - corruption is at extreme levels in western society and therefore western system as we know it today will not be around much longer. it may be replaced by slavery, it may blow off in french revolution style.

price went up another 18 pips and then reversed and would hit stop. as i check on hourly basis , the highest i could exit 10325. Actual exit 10320. Will proclaim this discretionary exit as success, saving me 34 pips. I find it critical to have enough size in trade to activate all...

looking at chart and news every hour or so. Made bold call to exit 10320. See if success. Stop at 10286. initial risk was 17 so 34 points is 2:1. Price did not move with speed I expected. See how things unfold and evaluate my exit after the fact.

first trade audusd, took long audusd at 10286, moved stop there. Objective is to extract as many points from this upmove as possible using discretion. Evaluation 1: Expecting second up leg. If stopped out, bad luck.

no, but one has to move with times.

'digestion success' i am in trade, new situation arises - news for example and market racing against me and closing on stop. afraid that will be stopped out. autopilot got me to this point so i feel no responsibility to come up with solution which is whether to go out or not or...
