dont short now boston. panic selling like a fool here is not profitable in the long run. you said yourself you are a newbie so you obviously have no 'read' or technical edge and are just emotional. look to short the next big rally instead, say in 3 months time? that would be a much better...

usd has been in a 20+ yr bear as you say. who cares about dollar fundamentals? you think other currencies are any better? i am looking for continuation patterns and dips in DX to buy over next 6months. usd has always been a good flight to quality currency and i dont see why that should...

no because YM trades 24hrs. you will be liquidated overnight :) DIA on the other hand and you are screwed

yes i misjudged this one too. i was long from 1150 and got stopped out at 1080. got in too early. i am taking a small long position in eur.jpy tonight though. tight stop. dow sub 10k, S&P just broke 1000. nice spot for heavy profit taking by shorts. this is my second and last attempt...

ib does not show each print. it only shows a snapshot of each 0.2 of a second or whatever it is. that means if 10x1000 lot trades are done in 0.2s IB prints 10,000 @ a certain price (i forget how the price is printed, i think it might be the last price) this means its not 100% accurate...

great job as usual ivica :)

yes they cut sunday night when BS went insolvent. im long at close today, if they cut sunday night im getting out and prob going short..

yup, late friday push to new lows has often meant a bit of a rally on sunday and monday. well thats what has happened most often over the last year... im long ES at close. if fed cut sunday night im dumping it on open. if not im dumping at us open on monday if we gap up (quite likely imo)

no picture but nice channel/pennant in usd.jpy check it out. coming off 103.50 base, i am playing the possible continuation with a tight stop. im long at 105.30 stop 104.5 target 108 EDIT: this is a dangerous trade with all the bailout voting etc coming over next couple of days...

exactly capa. the only people selling en mass here are crappy funds etc. who messed up. they are getting margin called or similarly being forced out of positions, or have been bagholding since bear stearns possible bottom. the real smart guys probably havent done any selling for months!

yea right dream on. the long term smart money predicted this mess and will have unloaded most a year ago at or close to all time highs. they will have then shorted all the big rallies. rest assured smart money are covering their shorts here or sitting on the sidelines watching their P/L...

go away spammer this is a good thread dont ruin it

i got crushed on my eur and aud longs at least i got out before todays disaster tho :) nice trades today!

anyone can do this after the fact. there is no secret to learn here you either have the talent and vision or you dont. Unless you can make decisions ahead of time you will never make money in this game.

holding my eur.usd and aud.usd longs over the weekend. risky but if we gap down sun night ill get out of both. targets 1.52 and 0.88 stops will be 1.445 and 0.814

i am mainly an ES trader, but i also trade some FESX as i am in europe. FESX moves a bit 'more ponderously'- ie less choppy. in the euro am session it seems to bounce off obvious levels much cleaner than ES does in the US am session. in general i am a bounce or reversal trader. i dont...

yea im long eur.usd from last night too. just gone long aud.usd also with a tight stop at bottom of triangle

well ving he obviously doesnt read enough history. pretty much every time there has been a 'disaster' scenario that everyone could forsee people often have said this is 'new territory', 'unprecedented' and 'this time its going to be different'. did that ever stop a massive rally out of...

i think you will find there is a great catalyst...huge buying for some inexplicable reason the market does what it wants, not what you want it to. I am long ES still from 1150, still a superb trade risk reward wise. If i get stopped out boo hoo i lost 70 points :) but i doubt it. the crash...

shhhh shakira indicators rock be quiet :D
