Quote from Lawrence Chan:

The buying is unreal ... keep scooping 3 ticks higher again and again to just spook the shorts to cover and lure buyers in.

Seems like someone wants NQ to close above the neckline, and claim victory thru the media right after.

Honkong + 0.84 %, Shanghai + 1,40 %.

Hedge funds focused on Asia generated the biggest returns in almost a decade during the second quarter as stock markets in the region rallied strongly, Chicago-based Hedge Fund Research said Tuesday.

An HFR index that tracks managers trading in Asian markets excluding Japan jumped 18.86% in the quarter, the strongest quarterly performance since late 1999, HFR said.

Quote from tstones:

Nice trade! but I just want to point out that's about 3.5 point per trading day. So it's not necessarily a better return than a more frequent trading style. It sure saves a lot of screen time though.

Most importantly, it was 56.75 pts per round turn commission.

Good luck getting a Christmas card from your broker.

It was a nice trade B1S2, but your stops are pretty large . . . I hope/wish your hard initial stops never get hit . . .

In any case, you need 3-4 of those trades a year and you'd be doing OK at the very least . . . if you get 10ish trades, then you're doing more than OK . . . beyond that you're golden . . .

Good Job!
