[kid hustlr]

Fought back today. Still a rubbish week but im a noobie so I need to take the good with the bad. SFE bond as thin as I've seen them. Quite a sell off.

Today's profit / turnover....

2.27579E-05

The number was actually ~100x bigger at 3:59pm, but those stupid rebalance closing matches knocked me stupid.

They probably will all come out in the wash just fine Monday......... unless you where closing them too??

Had a couple of directional stuff that I closed cos I didn't want to be naked into the weekend so gave a bit of profits back. The pairs stuff are fine. I just want my weekly P&L to look better than it is.

Lol. I am starting to think that no one is actually rebalancing on the day. It's all smaller traders like us trying to front run the rebalance bidding up/down the price leading into the close, then having to spill it all back out at the match.

I just spat half chewed banana all over my screen.

Piss off - I've wanted mine to look better for 13 years..... :

T/A I know you were on the FTSE recently
Looking at the current daily action I see a break below a very significant level at 6220
What do you think of continuation on the short side down to next level ?
My brain says it is the logical trade down to 6082 and then 6000 but other parts say the last 2 days have seen it over extend.
When it is not clear you should never take the trade... but interested in interpretations.

 

[tech/a]

Here is one interpretation.

 

[CanOz]

Is that a-b-c apparent on the other indices Tech? I actually haven't checked yet, but quite often there can be those types of confluence during corrective moves.

[Boggo]

Here is one interpretation.

And a second one based on the weekly, all bets are off if 5989 doesn't hold.

 

[Trembling Hand]

China opens down a tad and drops in a straight line. Now down 2.3% HSI following close behind.... nasty start.

 

[Trembling Hand]

My god! What is happening in China? Surely it cannot be that the dodgy pawn brokers come bankers are going bust?!

hehe, finally coming home to roost yeah!

I don't think China will be the only one in the red today once South America opens...

Like dominoes once the funds start moving the deck chairs.

Monday gaps down have been pretty well bid up flat the last few weeks once the US opens. Though once that pattern fails she may really get ugly

Watching the ES and its looking to test the low from Friday in the EU session, lets see if that wedge plays out....not that you follow that type of thing

Things look to be getting quite ugly... we have US tapering, EU bailout season returning, credit crunch Chinese style, and mis-firing of Japanese arrows.

Feels like a biggish wave coming soon.
