International markets traders banter

[skc]

Things are really getting pretty ugly out there....
The Nikkei futures is now down almost 10% even exceeding Shanghai..
Nasdaq is on limit down.

I have a gut feeling the US market will retest the low of Oct 2014 - same interest rise fear

And now Dow Jones and S&P all shut.

That's how you stop the selling!

SPY still going though.

when it moves it moves...

I am guessing there will be policy response soon enough. China has plenty of scope to cut rates, EU will say "whatever it takes" again, Yellan might not raise in Sept... Those headline bots will be buying like it was 2012.

Yep!

It's possibly the best thing that could have happened to make China role out the real emergency measures and sell bonds and build mega what ever. That'll fix oil, fix commodities and fu(k China even harder in the long term.
It's a beautiful thing!

Buffet made his biggest purchase ever just before this.

5% drop last week which history shows is usually followed by this -



Meanwhile on the emotional front OMG DOW Futures are -852 points (after no correction in 7 years it needs this so bad!!!)

 

[Modest]

ES just locked @ 1870

 

[waterbottle]

AUD getting smashed and US markets getting halted.

I am scared

 

[Modest]

The bloody month I start trading the futures the world markets crash.. LOL Lucky I am still in sim mode! Far out!

DOW down 1000 points. All those cashed up Chinese immigrants must have been playing the DOW too and still suffering from brainwashing.

Chinese state media all blame Western economy for Chinese stock market crash!

Like yeah, we went first right!?

It's just the perfect Selling opportunity for a Commie to sell some 10 Year bonds, don't ya think?

Watch out for all those people that missed out on the Bull market, here they come!

Any chance of a S.E Asian conflict as a result of this? considering the recent moves by China & North Korea

China needed a distraction, North Korea does everything China tells it to do, in private.
China did not want the FED to raise rates. Not sure they will achieve that.
World needs to re learn to 'ignore the little boy who cried wolf.' -China

Huge declines based on speculation, creating a nice vacuum to suck back up.

Dow made up 5% in 30 minutes.

Think my head is about to explode...... the DAX!! :aliena:

Some crazy $hit tonight. This is what happens when the whole market is traded by bots of various kinds that probably didn't include the last 10% correction in their backtest.

I can't decide when to go to bed....

Not only was DOW open down 1000 pts, there were DOW component stocks down 15-20%. No sane person trade like that...

Latency was a huge issue tonight...

 

[Trembling Hand]

No sane person trade like that...

No sane person would do this for a "Job"........ surely!

Currencies went crazy! Thanks to bots, some German dual listed stocks were briefly UP on the day

Time for bed. It won't surprise me if I wake up and US finish on the green... or down 8.2%.

No sane person would do this for a "Job"........ surely!

It's not a job if you have a "passion for trading"!

Currencies went crazy! Thanks to bots, some German dual listed stocks were briefly UP on the day

On a brighter note... the SPI is only down another 4% tomorrow, making my prediction looking better by the day.

For this year, I am picking XAO to finish at 4533, with a low of 4182.

Best lolchart of the day:

Volatility sellers anonymous.



Down "only" 30% on a 5 day basis, was 50%.

 

[wayneL]

Waaay off those spectacular lows. Strong hands buying? Dead cat bounce due?

Hope?

PPT?

Why can't we just have a decent crash without the nonsense? :

 

[satanoperca]

Why can't we just have a decent crash without the nonsense? :

One step at a time, nothing ever moves in a straight line. I would expect a reasonable bounce today or tomorrow.

To many see this as a buying opp, let them buy, we dont want things declining to fast.
