yeah, kinda. i bailed about 1/2 hour ago at 6812- so a 'win', but i pulled an order to double down near the top based on nothing more than emotion. to explain: the added leverage would not have been too bad BUT i knew i'd have trouble being disciplined with a stop if it went tits up, so i pulled...

despite fears that retail sales will prompt a monday rally, i just couldn't cover this time. so, short over the weekend and expecting to get bent over yet again. trading the DAX for me is like a bad relationship- i hate it, know i should just walk away, but i keep coming back to it.

lol. funny, i got all nervous about good US black friday #'s (that and the desire to NOT have another overnight position turn into a month decimating fiasco), so i bailed early at a minimal gain, out a limit at 6874, got 2 ticks away and i cursed myself as it dropped over 100 points. had...

interesting how the bump in the Euro sent the DAX flying over 6900 but the drop in the Euro did nothing. So, Asus, you adding to your short up here? (just trying to follow along so i can see how 'easy' trading the DAX is)

and the award for worst fucking trader in the world goes to..... me the # of times i have stuck with a short day after day only to capitulate with either a loss or small gain, just to then have the move occur- it's truly mind-boggling. i should be super-sizing fries somewhere, because i am...

i'm actually up about 5000 euros thru this recent short by trading around the position (you can believe or not, but my failures are very public here, so the gains should be equally believable). in fact, i'm flat right now. every time i take $ off i call myself a pussy. bottom line- i'm a pussy...

talking heads on bloomberg giving the cnbc talking heads a run for their money... chick talking about the fiscally challenged European countries like Spain and Greece and called them physically challenged instead. good for a laugh, especially with the mentally challenged pushing the DAX to...

i'm a simple person. could someone smarter than me explain this to me? 6770 wtf

Portugal, Ireland, Spain..... China drops big, ES down 1% still................ fuck it, the DAX needs to go positive. oh, and fuck the industrial production # too. fucking surreal

i learned this lesson the hard way when kospi futures first came available to US traders. had no clue about the games played on expire day. got raped for about $8k. did a lot of googling tat day to try to figure out wtf happened.

if the DAX really opens where it's indicated 6 minutes before the open @ 6736, i will go all in short and either blow up or prosper......

well, gold down to 1386, EUR.USD broke 1.36, shanghai down 4.25% right now and ES down 1%. so... obviously the DAX will open UP and take out it's year high!

because my so called edge (HA) tells me to short. short copper (HG) too. actually, this has worked out ok so far, though prolly should have taken some off when we broke 6700, as a bounce was predictable- didn't expect this much. i deny myself a lot of gains taking 50,60,80 points and leaving...

this bull market hates me!

uh.... no.

wtf

i don't think it can be called brazen when they're all running a rigged came.

they outperformed monday. Euro going up was a fire driving the DAX for a while. Eur/USD drops from 1.42 to 1.38 and the DAX still sits at the high even when industrial production # was simply awful. go figure. still short but feeling like i'm spitting into the wind....

i guess we'll be putting that legalize pot measure back on the ballot- nationwide this time with exporting being legal too. hell, mendocino county marijuana could very well become our new currency! think we'll need to legalize prostitution too. our new national slogan: 'America: the NEW...

yeah, i'm not smart enough to understand how this doesn't end badly. don't recall the 70's being an investor's paradise; and that was a fraction of what this seems destined to become. full disclosure though- i went to a state college (and a poor one, at that), so i don't have the same pedigree...
