Ok, there was positive PMI but -0.8% vs. exp -0.3% UK Q2 GDP is a knife for market. I think, it is difficult to ignore that number. I went for tactical short at the moment (ftse), I had some slippage so that I'm OTM but I take it as an insurace because I'm just covering some longs. And...

5260 I wonder where does it leave us? Is this going to be the top? Can we expect further positive news? Fib. level is around 5330, I guess we are going there. ifo indicated that money are not going to be made selling but cost cutting. That would also correspond to 9300 level for DJ.

Maybe, I was wrong, covering at 5135 if it goes there.

I know US emplyment numbers are disapponting but c'mon we need to close position too, if you closed at 5135 you are doing just fine. Now, maybe it it the time to wait for the end of retracement, could go below 5100. First short around 14:35-40 then long 15-15:30, if dax doesn't break some...

Normaly, I would go long DAX at 5110 but I've too many positions. Could you pump it up a bit, please. (btw. you missed 10pts right now)

I guess market concentrates too much on 5100. I do not know what is vix for dax but buying some atm straddles can be interesting buy.

OK, they earned 10% less than last year. You have to consider that they repaid tarp (10bn). Govn made 23% on GS tarp so that if it is similar for MS then it is already 2bn. They spent too much on compensation, maybe redundancy packages (0.8bn). In my opinion, it is a management problem...

Of course 5800 is too optimistic! Today, it was quite funny how market reacted to ifo. I was short at 5073, it went down a bit too but covered at the right time 5072, :-). Otherwise, some loss on SMI and profit on FTSE.

I'm wondering do you expect ifo below 1.5%? Starbucks, Yahoo, Apple, Bernanke and DAX is hoovering around 5110, maybe there will be Asian support and we open in 20-30, DAX can go below 5080 but can also break 5200 tomorrow, target 5300, next target 5800. Yes, very optimistic, :-) !

I was waiting for this move , :-), but I won't chase it.

yes, I see it that can be a cause of break or pull back. However, I see that market was not rallying in a "consistent way". FDAX is a bit behind ... and some part of the numbers can be already in. I entered 3x into dax with some protective puts, :-), and 3x I felt unconfortable and end up...

It looks to me that fall to 5050 as retracement. Sorry, I'm quite sceptic here: Why did you enter? How do you want to hold it? What is your R/R, cannot be greater than 1? Did you base it on some indicator, I do not see enoug info. Isn't it better to close that calls and recover some...

good call

I do not see volume so that I didn't get it, would you mind to explain? I see traded contracts 110k so that it is 0.4% that is not a lot, I guess. You say that he can be easily cornered?! I do not see reason why wouldn't you trade 408 lots.

FTSE daily didn't ... Sep futures, man ! Spread is larger but if you intend to hold it longer then you are not screwed on interest Libor + 2.5%.

It was quite a busy morning. I do not even know if there were any economic numbers. Long FTSE 4176 , long FTSE 4180 , long DAX 4730, short FTSE 4199, short SMI 4240, crap, overleverage close all positions and I made my week. I deserve coffee and breakfast, max. 700kcal.

I'm still waiting to enter DAX. If you are in the long train good for you. You are lucky to follow SMA, :-). I get just snapshots of the market and I enjoy lunches. I was fighting aussies and then went with carefoure in the morning but I closed early. I should have been more greedy. It...

nothing is happening, I guess we wait for earnings

I entered again, went ok, closed, thanks for a good tip, EUR/CHF is an issue I should have been short but it moved up today from yesterdays 1.51 so that I would make me hole.

I do not know why you do it on IG ?! Why not other sb company that has much lower spreads, I do not want to mention others but there are many. If you take profit 10points and you pay 1-2points more then it is like a 10-20% tax on you earnings, as well as losses. Further, I have feeling...
