Two observations: The entry for my current position was a total disaster. The market never came down to my resting stop order at 1036.25. After it had printed 1036.75 and started upwards, i followed with my entry stop, to no awail. I ended up chasing the market, and bought when there was a...

Bot at 1039.5 at 09.30. Loss on last trade was 5.25 points, but for the day, the loss is 1.75 points. Maybe I should say so far....

Sold at 1041 at 09.01. Had expected a small pop to the upside, which never came. Looking to go long on pullback.

All trades from the start of the thread to April 26th are OMXS306D. Yesterday I went over to OMXS306E which I forgot to mention.

Market settled at 1042.75, for a loss of 3.5 points for the day for me. I am keeping the position over night, as I think we will get some bost from the US, with some gapping up perhaps. When I think of the doom that has been over the rate hikes, Bernankes speach when it sinks in on investors...

Will let this trade go til tomorrow. Can be a wild night in the US tonight. Gap up tomorrow here.

There is total capitulation on the market, with an orderbook that has a 1:5 ratio of buyers to sellers. I am hopelessly caught and what I am hoping for is just some kind of bounce to sell out on.

That was such an illed timed entry even for my standards, and of course the market took a nose dive, as soon as it learned I was in. I have not changed the analysis though and I think the odds favour some sort of rally during the day, and I am still in the trade. Let's see if I can get out...

Bot at 1046.25. Time 09.30 CET. We should get some follow through from yesterdays afternoon move.

First a drop, then total standstill, a climb of over 1 percent and then some pullback: High 1053.5, Low1041.5, Close 1050.25. Profit today, 5.75 points.

Covered short at 1051 for a scratch, time 17.16.

Short at 1051, looking to scalp a couple of points downwards. Time 16.17.

Sold long position at 1049, at 16.05 CET. Looking to go back in if we get some pullback here. Loss on trade: 5.5 points, but profit for day at 5.75 points (from close yesterday).

Well, since this morning the market has pretty much gone to a complete stand still, going a few ticks up and down. This could of course mean that we get another down leg, but this would be the fourth consecutive down day, and we have had a 2.5 percent down move since the top yesterday without...

The cash market traded down this morning after a short pop up, mostly due to some heavy weighters going ex dividend. At least that is the verdict from the futures contract, which has been down 1 point at its worst compared to the cash markets -8 points (I had expected more up-momentum and i...

High was 1060.25, Low 1042.72 and Close 1043.25. We took out the highs of yesterday as I believed we could after the reports came out, but I had never in my life expected the market to then challenge the lows of yesterday also, and make another giant range day and close down.

That was the second day in a row with extreme volatility, although today, it was an up opening and morning panic buying bringing up the market almost 1,5%, followed by a sell of the rest of the day to end in negative territory. As usual this trader was wrong at every instance, and today, not...

Bot back and went long at 1054.5. 1.5 points profit on the short trade.

I have chosen to not be exposed over night recently, mostly because of the multitude of reports and the risk of adverse gaps. I can't help but notice that if I had just held the last weeks trades over night just as they were, I would have been much better off. But that's a given, and if I had...

Of course I sold to soon, and of course the market had to jump up almost 1 and a half percent. I just hope they sober up, and start to remember all the doom and gloom....
