Lol, crazy volatility. I had set up some buy and sell orders and they worked a treat.. Broken well through the 61k mark. Take profits were within about 5pts of the peaks! Must have picked up nearly 300points.

If you mean how much I lost to the markets (the best tuition) :) then I'd say in total about £10k.

bit of luck, a lot of research and a few years of losing!

dont think i posted my results for the day. About 2.1k profit. balance just over 56k.

Good to hear though was there a reason for exactly 100 pts? Im not one for hard and fast rules but I like to have a reason for entries and exits. That way you never look back and say, 'i wish id let that trade continue' because you know there was an excellent reason to buy/sell and a high...

I use a much larger stop based on the average true range but I also look at the price action and S/R to determine at what price I would be wrong and so would want to close the trade. In fact sometimes this may determine a 30-40pt stop tho I dont tend to go lower than that. Once the trade is...

nicely dont blackjack & mctom. I recovered well over lunch time, taken well over 100pts from the dow from a few different trades and over 30pts from crude. Up £1659.77 from the last balance I posted.

Anyone trading today? I've managed to wipe out last night's gains. I may be looking at a losing day though hopefully less than 1% of my account. Being too indecisive with regards to short term signals vs long term signals.

It's very wierd, I get that like that about a lot of things but not trading.

hey spanish. I found a quote that you might appreciate - 'The market is like a flu virus -as soon as you think you have it pegged, it mutates into something else.'

Saw the volatility and couldnt resist. Scalped some more points on the dow for 1.2k profit.

enjoy your success blackjack. It looked very choppy today but I lucked out as I happened to my focused when the opportunities arose. Profit of £1829 today.

There's always opportunities and as long as the trades are sound then its all good. Considering I wasnt really planning on trading today I think a 1.9k profit is pretty pleasing. I will post some more details later when I get home.

I just got on the pivot point and went long for 68pts.

net 70/90 - I'd settle for that? Instead of trading, I've had the delight of a 60min interogation by a german information & security auditor... fun.

Is anyone actually trading today? I havent seen any opportunities since this morning. No sign of spanish?

Dont be so dramatic you dipshit. Your whole economy is looking for a hand out right now :D

Again, what's with the blatant generalisations. There are plenty of dickheads over your side of the atlantic.

back to trading... shorted Dow at 8462 and 8437 and closed at 8384 and 8380. Profit of £946. nice one blackjack.

I find that rather offensive. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to generalise and stereotype.
