International markets traders banter

Jump to new
Nope, after reading your posts and other reading scrubbing for ticks is not for me.

That surprises me. I assumed the amount of money they seem to be (annecdotally) controlling would be enough to change markets like the flash crash in 2010. Or did the better bots just make money out of it?

Thoughts for another thread which I will start.

TH or anyone else, are there any articles or books you can recommend on how bots have/have not changed the markets?

This one was pretty interesting, better if you can understand the depth of market a little bit first...

Hey TH, give us your p&l graph for this morning session, just for some inspiration
 
Haha I am sure if I looked real hard I could find somebody who scalps, not saying they do or do not scalp profitalby.

Excuse my less than perfect terminology, but anything that requires me spending extended periods watching the markets live does not suit me. At this stage, I have changed a few times so who knows

A black hole... can't be that bad mate, you said you seen this before, a classic old fashioned stop sweep... i have no idea what you mean but assuming you've seen it before is should look like this:

 
Hey CanOz just shifting over to this thread
Yeah I think a strong move lower after a fake push higher
But I can't see the future, so really it is heads / tails except taking into account disruptions in Euro and Egypt which skews the market towards selling - if I were a trader in the US with open longs, I would start selling going in to a holiday and such risky events unfolding...

What do you mean by ES?
 

I'm looking to play short FTSE's tonight at 6187 looking for 6156 ... if it ever manages to finish this battle going on - very interesting on the 30 minute chart with big long tails up and down but closing almost flat.
 
And some minor US data gives a spike up
At least the range is broken
Whether it holds up I can't tell.
I have taken the entry for a short with a stop just above the recent trading
A bit opportunistic but easily defined risk
 
yup, the ADP number was betterthan expected, threw gold down on the floor too...

Now the initial jobless claims, and theyre slightly better...
 
I expect some rebound in stocks in frontier and emerging world sooner than later. On valuations some sectors especially consumer staples in frontier world are very attractive now. Some Asian export sector too will benefit due to depreciation of their currencies agents USD. We will see bull markets in few sectors and few Asian and African frontier markets in 2013 and 2014.

After selloff, some dip toes back in emerging markets.

Don't call others grumpy just because you are!

For the first time since a while, the US market moved up despite higher tapering expectation (due to strong NFP)... I thought that was a pretty bullish sign. Yet it seems the bullishness didn't translate to Asian markets. May be it means foreign money will more likely find its way back into the stronger $US domestic markets?

It is Monday morning though. They rarely count for anything that resembles reality.
