Thanks for offering your condolences T/H and thank you so very much for sharing. I've often heard it said that misery loves company. That is why I am now recommending the DAX to all market newcomers! (Who was it that said I was selfish!)

As an accomplished OTC CFD "wannabe" trader, fully equipped with absurd trading strategies and miniscule funding, I expect nothing less than for the major bourses to tremble at the mere thought of my approach!

Despite that minor technicality of OTC instruments being traded "off exchange", one could hardly describe these sentiments as delusional!

Now I must take a closer look at the FTSE! This year, for some elusive reason, my geese have been getting thoroughly constipated whilst grazing on it, and we all know how difficult it can be to take flight when full of $#!7.

On a happier note, FTSE's behaviour has been extremely favourable to AbiGrail who is continuing to flourish.
 
LOL talk about walking off a cliff!

Carry trade back in business after a good end to last week.

I've been sick since I got back from the US, so out of action on the discretionary stuff for the last couple of weeks. Hope to get back in the saddle at some point this week.
 
Yeah, Crude's gone for a nice gap n run already too...

Nearly perfect!

BoJ is paying the bill for carry traders at an amazing rate over the last couple of weeks!! Selling vol on all declines.

EDIT: Against the AUD too

Mate its averaged 200 points per day for the last 10 days. So in the first hour its already done half the days range. in the next 45 min its done another 100 points back the other way. :D

What type of set ups are you trading? There is not much more you can ask for. Unless you are looking for the 1 in 20 days where you get a runner in 1 direction. But, IMO, you'll go broke looking for them.
 
As always, your words are full of trading wisdom...

I agree, i am still trading and today was a good day but because we had such tight intraday ranges lately i am missing some of the old action... So 1 in 20 you reckon, damn we still have to wait then... :)

I will probably eat my words come Monday :D
 
How does one trade volatility? Is it even possible? Say I think the market will increase in volatility tonight, is there a volatility index I can get long on so to speak?
