Have a great break, everyone .
short entered at 75
Gone in as well at 7970. What are you aiming for to trade and timescale, Pat?
Hi Mike. I am happy to hold over the break and look for 20 EMA.
20 EMA on daily chart, that is.
closed that short for minus 5 pips and reversed long
closed one of those for plus 15
didnt like that short. closed it for minus 5 pips and reverses long once candles started getting above the 1minute 200ma
short 7956. as price went into the lower high/5minite moving averages
my long from 7950 closed at 7970 for 20 pips.
a week ago I said buying any dips to 7900 will be logical trade as long as 7900/7850 holds I have traded long all the dips to date with 100% gains. What now? Measured move to all time high is still on the cards with push likely to come from short covering and bullish sentiment. Good luck
yeah ftse was a bit behind with the all time high smashing gang but seems like it wants it now. ever since it broke out of its consolidation i have been buying pullbacks
8000?
i was aiming to retest the high but the 1minite chart is holding price for now at 7964
Buying now feels like buying a sofa after the boxing day sale has finished but maybe I'm missing something
Agreed SS, with everything, especially in the US, going straight up, I am not buying at these prices.
very true
entered long i to the 5min 200ma at 7950
closed half for 12 pips
short 65
@Juan is there any way you could help swinger out. He doesnt trade but wants fo be a swinger :-)
looks like ftse finally broke the resistance thats held for three days, longed into it the last couple of days and again this evening once morning structure broke. i would still like to see a retest of the high at 7962
ElCid - Who in their right mind shorted the Dax and didn’t have a stop loss or some kind of risk management?
Por favour ? signor why you mocking the peoples that losings their monies. In a Spain, we say you peoples, you like it when a man is down, you kicking him in his ballls. You are Not nice people, i find you nice Spainish widow who will make you a good paella yes and empty your balls with their mouths with no teethings. ole
Solo las abuelas por tu, Juan. Juan Pelota
El Cido - its alright me used to old ladies, in a Spain they never say no to hungry hombre like Juan, come we go together hombre.
Very good article in the Evening Standard for those in London. Gist of it is listed companies are looking to relocate to NY or Amsterdam. The pathetic peformance of the FTSE in the last 5 years vs say the Dow making institutional investors reluctant to invest or are pressuring the CEOs to move. Noone wants to invest in UK companies. Even UK pension funds are down to 4% from 45% in 1997 Sceptic - here’s your answer
alot of people comment on the ftses 'weak' performance, but remember what its made up of. oil, banks, astrazenca and its also weighted differently to the other indicies. yes dax, cac, s&p etc.. have rallied. (nvidia beimg a major part of this) but ftse is built differently. and it has some fabulous ramges to trade amd cam also be very forgiving for newer traders
Just saw your post today, might be a boring mix of miners, (international- Dont forget the Hllibutons and Schlumbergers!!) oils, banks and pharma, however each index has its oddity look at CAC relying heavily on luxury and drinks, or Germany with Autos etc. However I only compare on pure correlation so even if the mediocre companies up 30 per cent since corona and FTSE 0nly 2 per cent it has been punished enough!
**Correction- Halliburton Schlumberger ** indices comprised of mediocre companies! Bad typing ;-)
Mike - replies not getting through - sorry. It is a free alternative to this. Disc ord :)
No fake trad ers
short 37
taken off 27
What's the general feeling with everyone and tomorrows GDP figures? Up? Down? It seemed to pump the market last month despite being -0.3% and confirmation of a recession.
took some patience this short, but closed half for 12 pips, stop loss to break even. looking for a few more before closing
Same here. Wasn't sure how long it was going to take! Just got out at 7895 ish from 7950 ish last week.
i got stopped break even. was hoping to get 890. just missed
Only index where bears are in full control
4 stocks manipulating the ftse.
Short 7911. SL 7941. No TP yet. Will see how things pan out today / tomorrow, before deciding whether to hold the short over the holiday with a GSL in place.
ftse has got a bit boring today so have been taking some longs on the dax. if anyone likes to trade with trend take a look at it. its been really easy to buy pullbacks
Nice work….you will be annoying all the grumpy traders on there who have shorted long term in the 16,000s and are panicking about s9unking their account
i have no idea why so many say its fraud and moan about it instead of just going with it. if the institutions are buying it just go with them. madness to fight them
Not fraud - just using an advantage unfairly to rinse everyone else. I prefer the word 'influence' to 'manipulation'. End result is the same though.
