i guess my fear in being too short is that it's hard to imagine what ADP # could actually hurt equities. the way things are now, good would be good, and bad would be good because thought of QE II would immediately dance in these drunken minds with rose coloured glasses. such conundrums for...

out of 1/2 at b/e because.... well, just because.

good luck. i'm right there with you, though basis is ~6283 i'd feel a whole lot better about this though if we'd had a vol spike at the top.

wow. quite the call out. interesting how he vanished from the thread and didn't even attempt to refute your words. completely fucking OWNED! well done, sir.

fucking ginger daywalkers...

i'm very conflicted here. my gut instinct is to short the shit out of this thing. the chart is a little scary to short as the old 'there is no such thing as a triple top' truism keeps going thru my head. on the other hand, it's *somewhat* st overbought and is this really the setup to blow...

your example is one of a unique city-state that had just went back to China in 1997. coattails... you seem pretty bright, i can't imagine that you're arguing that currency devaluation did not play a significant role in the rapid recovery in SE Asia after teh crisis. add in proximity to the...

in terms of the asian fin crisis: i would tend to agree with you insofar as the plan now in the west seems to be to solve a debt crisis with more borrowing and to do whatever they can to give the masses the incentive to spend on shit they don't need to 'stimulate' the economy. that said, i...

for the many who constantly point to the deflation in Japan over the past 20 years.... have these people ever been to Japan?!?!? i find it somewhat confusing that the poster child for deflation is the most expensive place on the planet for.... well.... EVERYTHING! imagine how expensive it...

well, ya know, the ZEW #'s were so good it just HAD to go up.:eek: makes even more sense with the relatively less exposed US still 10% off its highs. wtf. i really wanted to short the DAX at teh US close today but, after getting my dick handed to me in pieces shorting teh DAX lately, i...

who would have thought that Madoff had internet access in prison AND would be surfing ET...

i like how eur.jpy drove the dax higher; yet, when the currency started to drop, the dax powered ahead another 25 points and made new highs just as the currency was taking out multi-hour lows. for a long time i felt the hang seng was the most manipulated contract- i'm revisiting that...

well, we are 3 1/2% away from the year high, again out of whack with the ES. just very odd to me that the market with the most exposure to Euro zone problems is outperforming the ES like this. so, yeah, you guessed it- short again and under water again thus far. the upside is that i am not...

6239 unfuckingbelievable

One can only hope. little concerned that this drop blew its load too early. 20 minutes left for the bots to raise it back up. i just want to see 3 figures down in the dow at the close. a replay of last thursday would suit me fine though too! btw, i think the ES was a good 10 points higher...

i took 1/3 of the remaining position off at 19.50 based on my indicators. i'm going to re-enter that 1/3 in the 30's. it can go higher, i just don't want my position reduced any more, as my st target is 6100- something that seems infinitely doable- possibly tomorrow.

ES down 1% now and the DAX futures are still up 1/2%. We need one of those DAX catch-up days tomorrow when it drops 2x what everyone else does to realign. unfortunately, i have taken off 1/2 my position before this move down (but of course) in an attempt to realign my margin with what a sane...

Nothing that I click that would normally launch my browser and take me to IB's website works any more. I didn't even upgrade, it all just stopped working a while ago. Was wondering whether it was my browser. guess not.

the disaster that has been my 'trading' in the dax the past 2 days has had nothing to do with my strategy. no, this account halving goat fuck is all about being an undisciplined fuck up and has nothing whatsoever to do with my rather successful trading methods. unfortunately, they're difficult...

this is the most decoupled i've ever seen this thing over an extended period. ES down 4 and the dax still up over 50. earlier in the session when ES was here, DAX was at 6200. now, ES below that level and DAX at 6238. wtf?!?!? look at currency and it is just short of amazing that i'm not...
