If you were willing for 9090, would you not wait for 9100?, where there is more obvious resistance, nonetheless it was a good call. Regards

Picked an exit or stop ?

ok, agreed

way post facto... 2minutes ?...I had to cancell my stops and pendings, give me a chance...I'm not one to say I went long DOW in 1980.. what intrigued me is u got out when I did, I have my reasons.. one trade went through at 75, I couldnt get that.. happy with 73 best of luck, regards

Sure, as you wish, just seems your playing a similar game. My close @ 73 was the Dow Cash @ 9100... .. I am intrigued what is this "noisebox" you speak of?

I bought at 59 and sold @ 73... 75 flashed

Merryl Lynch was as big seller at the open, waitin for them to re-appear, then I buy

Not sure why u bailed out taking 20 on YM... seems to have turned short term so far, buying at the lows now?

The first two hours is where the action is 80% of the time, the rest of the day constitutes the folk who missed the move hoping for a repeat performance, or fighting for the remaining scraps to get them back in the black... but then again I do enjoy squeezing the shorts into the close :p

I run a private hedge fund In west London, I have historical data going way back... plot all the indexes levels against the spreads between them... patterns emerge.. construct regression lines, use some math (y=mx+c)to get gradients and intercepts.. the ratio of the gradients is the "beta"...

I've been long the Dax and short the FTSE since the end of "the war"... Now I Calculate them to be too tight, and importantly, only at these levels. ... action is over now until the U.S opens, time to sit in the Garden and get some sun :cool:

yes.... the risk Is just too large with a single bet on a single index

CAC40 through 3200, next action DAX @ 3484:cool:

yup... trading the indexes off each other... DAX, FTSE, CAC and E50... think I manged to get 25% of the move... did u eventually trade the GAP ?

Volume was tellin me the Dax was heading to 3400... too close to that support level at the open not to be hit on a monday morning!... sold DAX, FTSE and E50's... down until Dax hit 4300... closed all positions... then I was a buyer of DAX only... and I got out at 4312 !... look at it now...

I was selling at the open, down to DAX hitting 3400, volume was large u could have bought off me !

I use good old Excel VBA...:)

Well its about time they went completely electronic like the Indexes in Europe.... then the locals would not be able to go hunting for my stops in thin markets over lunch, front running big orders and generally have one up on screen traders knowing when & where the institutions are coming in...

F me ... we're back at the open! ... time for that red button again

not if she expires.. u just collect the premium :eek: :D
