International markets traders banter

Ya know, i reckon half the battle with these intra-day spreads are not when you enter, but when you start to average in again....:cautious:
 
Sam, have a look at the ES,NKD spread as well.....

Haha I'm totally baboozled today, thinking it's Monday all the time and wondering why there's so much activity and posts on here then I remember again that yesterday was Monday and the overseas markets were open :banghead:

What's NKD? Nikkei?

nteresting times ahead...

China halting domestic transfers for 3 days before their biggest holiday

Yeah, no.

Best keep an eye on those crazy conspiracy websites that do actual journalism

But don't worry, you're in good company, even the best and brightest will believe just about anything they're fed :)

Yeah, that was weird. Even made the news feed on IB...i showed my wife and she just brushed it off, said it just looked like what the banks did normally this time of year. With the default looming we did withdrawal some extra cash though...

Good to see you again Sinner.

That pull back was in line with the 15 year average.

Fark me its getting nasty out there...even the Swiss Frank is rallying with the gold for safety...:cautious:
 
Good to see that the DAX is back to its former self!

Those moves really set my grail a rattling and a ringing.

If a certain little black duck reports a 2,000 euro profit from tonight's trading then I shall definitely know who's to blame!
 
Living up to your expectations so far:D

Lunar new year rally? Shorts covering before the holiday..!!

Yep was expecting that but some how managed to get a little bit out of shape there in the end.....



Wait for it.....

It was some frontier markets which had some resilient to some of the biggest drops recently. However both developed and emerging markets have outperformed the frontiers markets during last two days. It is very interesting. What a day was for USA stocks. It was a day for Nikkei 225 as well. Some of the top winners were Boeing and ATHN: US and 9501: JP.

My ideas are not a recommendation to either buy or sell any security, commodity or currency. Please do your own research prior to making any investment decisions.
 
At this time of writing china stocks rises one month high. They are having nice day today. Asian and Russian stocks have become very attractive now. Some short sellers probably have lost betting against S & P 500. Surprisingly New Zealand market ended in negative territory today. At this moment both Pakistan and Sri-Lanka markets also in red. Emerging market crisis is just a talk. Declines in stocks, bonds and currencies are a buying opportunity. At the moment some small markets are having troubles due to short term events. They too will go up sooner than later. Today’s some undervalued red markets also are a buying opportunity.

There were so many crisis such as banking crisis, credit crisis and property crisis etc during last couple of years. Still we saw bull markets in crisis hit countries such as UAE, Pakistan, Japan, UK and USA. Similarly tapering is not the end of the world. It is good for the global economy in the mid and long term. Just like other crisis speculation on tapering also create opportunities even in emerging markets. Crises are opportunities for intelligent market players.

Was anyone trading currency futures or any futures around 3pm today? any problems with you execution?

Wont bore you too much with the details, but I had some problems with my broker with orders not executing/cancelling and when I called them up to go flat/cancel pendings they couldn't do it because I was flat on their screen. Turns out I wasn't flat and it cost me money. They are blaming a "problem with the world wide web"

Anyone else have issues? Would I have the right to claim the cost back from my broker here?
