Quote from JSSPMK:

Do you think it's a good idea to hold a long position over the weekend? Great news if you get a gap up, what about gap down? I trade DAX & I think it is ready for a minor sell-off today, we will see.

Didn't materialise yesterday, today down 200 (~3%), same pattern was present in DOW, S&P, NAS, FTSE, etc
 
Quote from fearless9:

You have a natural flair for the obvious Wave.

and it is amazing how so many ignore the obvious, perhaps it's just too simple. Why will so many consumers buy the more expensive car when the cheaper car is built in the same factory. It just has a fancier outside and a higher price slapped on to it.
 
Quote from Buy1Sell2:

I am only trading with 20 percent of the funds). That would be a great way to describe my money management --Very hard to get whacked that way---

That's EXACTLY how my imaginative fund is traded in the Verisimi thread in the Journal section.

80% of the capital is making safely 4% annually in CDs, thus if the fund follows the market faithfully, at year's and there is an extra 4% compared to the market's performance.

Since there is no leverage, if the market falls 2%, supposed I am long the fund falls only 2% too.

But still, it is better not to let the market move against your position by 20+ points, although I also let that happen...

Europe looks ugly!

However watch ES closely as we may bottom and rally for a while.

European exchanges closed near their lows. I'm expecting the same here.
 
I was hoping for more of a bounce so I can get short. Might do a few mean reversion plays on stocks.

Not sure about SIF's just yet, don't see anything juicy.

I believe that if same pattern is present in most indices, then it is like playing rugby 1 vs 10 if you decide to go against the flow based on a logical progression, you'll get slammed more often than not. Analysing EOD data in major indices is very important in zooming into opportunities like today, where a lot of money can be made. Everybody knew by now that world markets have become a run-away train, but nothing runs forever. Whether this train has run out of steam I wouldn't want to say just yet, it's only been 1 day.

I thought the call was good, so many non-belivers :D

Made 2 points on the ER and we may go up for another hour.

With increased volatility comes many more opportunities. I only dance to the beat.

"I believe that if same pattern is present in most indices"

It is from this that I made the call. Just playing the odds when Europe and Asia are down so much. But entry was on price action and order flow near the low.
