I remain short 1,083 with reverse order 1,030. Looking at ES you might not be missing the point, I was surprised that 1,037 provided such a support until I checked out weekly NDX @ it bounced after hitting 200 weekly SMA, other markets bounced of their daily support zones. My target...

+$147 is that trading ES?

If you can figure out whether it is inflation or deflation, then I am sure it will be an easier forecast, but unfortunately right now nobody knows what the future holds. Only guessing.

"The S&P 500 doesn't look any better, even though the downward movement has not progressed as fast as the Japanese market. The US market is still holding up because the Fed, while there is dissention among its policy board members, is trying to repair the damage to market confidence, and...

Just remembered, another issue with lag used to be this, after an order is placed Dom freezes for a while & when it starts updating again it plays back price changes at x multiple original speed. That was totally unreliable & unusable, I know X_trader is a sophisticated bit of kit, but I...

How did long specialists do yesterday? How did they do on Aug 24, 23, 19, 18, 11? How did long specialists do in 2008? How did long specialists do today from 9.55-10.07am today? How did long specialists do 2000-2010? ;)

Why 1,045? Looks like within noise to me.

What's the risk? Below 1000?

It wasn't the workstation, it was software related or as they put it latency.

When I traded in UK on Xtrader via GF I had market fills which were up to 5 ES points away from prices I was watching on DOM, it was during normal market activity & size was below 10 contracts making it an easy fill. After order was placed the whole thing would freeze for a while & I would get...

That's true, I sense upside will be capped by 1080 zone SPX.

Daily p/a not looking that strong at all IMO. Trend is down, but price may oscillate significantly nevertheless. My target remains 1,022. Good trading ;)

Really? Latency issues (ping) is a get out clause for some brokers in the US. From horse's mouth matey.

You said it - reasonable targets. Maybe you lose out when you get too greedy. After all you are daytrading, not swing trading. No real suggestions as we haven't seen your method, we only see you reversing positions.

Shizo, have you tried going for targets rather than hoping to nail a big swing via trailing it or whatever you use. If you haven't done so already, try SIMing it, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Too bad his stop was 1,037.25 ;)

To get to 1000 you need to get to 1020 area first ;) Did I say 1st? Anyway, just IMO.

No herd, no shepard. Herds make trends happen. You need us & we need you ;)

Indeed :p

Next 'real' stop is around 1,022 ES, market needs to find it's footing IMO. Weekly averages are strong magnets.
