International markets traders banter

[Trembling Hand]

You ever trade the HHI? I've been having some success on it...until the last 45 minutes....

Its a little thicker than the Seng, sometimes the fills seem easier. Its almost like the DAX

No, very few contracts traded on that one. Its a bit more chewy. That seems to not suit me. Although I complain about the thin book on the HSI daily secretly I think I like it like that..... :whip

I thought i'd put this here for us to enjoy....TH was that you?

Bracket mode...nearly time for a directional day

 

[Trembling Hand]

Funny old day... good volume but we seem to be going nowhere after all that.

Following up from yesterdays volume. looks to be a gap and run directional day..... very rare.

 

[CanOz]

Yeah, interesting how the HSI has taken out the bracket low but the HHI has yet to take out support at 9200. Pretty good battle going on in the opening swings!corn:

[kid hustlr]

just got me a free trial to have a look at the seng. not gonna trade it just want to see what all the fuss is about. if TH makes money cant be that hard.

edit is it 50 bucks a tick?

 

[Trembling Hand]

Rub it in...

Yeah I think I will. Feeling good about myself.... I have been stuck between those two lines for months being too scared to put on new full volume.



Now to build.....

 

[CanOz]

yeah wow looks fun. in that clip looks like it actually went twice someone lifted the book then it quickly got lifted again.

Quiet time but HSI looks so this lots of 1/2 lotters around I assume if you have any type of size to do you have to just lift the book

Actually its rare to do size by hitting out against yourself like that. Think that was more a sweep to get it somewhere after all that opening volume was absorbed. IMO. If you traded size like that and got out like that every time you were wrong you would soon be back to trading 1/2 lots.

Well now that we've got that pesky gap filled on the H - Shares can we please carry on our merry way!

Markets were feeling a bit dizzy and drunk.
And went to bed with what it thought
Was a beautiful white dove.

It all just seemed so easy.
And more easiness was expected to come.

Oh Janet!

Then it woke up

Morning dear -



You haven't seen my testicles have you?
