Reckon that shakeout last night on the ES as very bullish. All the short term longs get stopped out, only to see the market much higher.
Retail will then start shorting which will help fuel the next leg up :)

Yup...I was in some nice profits with some DJIA longs when I checked it at 4am.

I woke to find my stops 200 pts below triggered.

Thanks Mr Market.

P.s. Made up for it with some crude long on the break of $40.

Take a reality check: you trade CFDs with City Index. You're not whoever you follow on twitter.

OK I picked the wrong bucket, but you trade the bucket. You're not the guy watching the order flow, to actually know when retail is bidding or not, or whatever your cryptic gibberish is insinuating you think you know.

How do you know it wasn't some algo on the long getting filled? Or the Norwway SWF? Or me, as retail, but I'm really unhappy about it?

You don't. It's gibberish with 0 utility.

I, for one, assume you actually have a brain, and would prefer to see posts that reflect the use of alleged brain.

You've got a mean streak in you at times haven't you sinner? Is it just after you get your head handed to you in an FX trade or something?:D

Yeah that must be it?

sinners trading checklist:

* Trade an instrument that I wouldn't touch with a 10m pole these days.
* Lose big.
* Come on ASF and exercise the mean streak to make myself feel better.

Can't go home till I've ticked off all three.

Why not consider all the possibilities? Perhaps I'm not mean? Perhaps I call things as I see them? Perhaps that actually represents a better grade of content than Joules mythologising the market for...I dunno what useful purpose?

Who knows :rolleyes:

Fair enough....
 
I want to be this guy!

As financial markets got crazy this week, many people turned cautious. Some were paralysed. Not the 36-year-old day trader known by the Internet handle CIS.

CIS had been shorting futures on the Nikkei 225 Stock Average since mid-August, wagering it would fall. By the market close on Monday, a paper profit of $US13 million was staring him in the face. He kept building the position. When he cashed out late that night, a collapse in New York had caused his profit to double.

Instead of celebrating, he kept trading. He started betting the market had bottomed. When he finally took his winnings off the table on Tuesday, he tweeted, "That's the end of my epic rebound trade." His profit, he said, had almost tripled.

"It was a perfect trade," said Naoki Murakami, who follows CIS on Twitter and whose markets blog has made him a minor celebrity in his own right.

Bloomberg did a long piece on that guy laat year. Apparently he is famous amongst traders there.

From what I remember it was short term mom style, I guess the microstructure in Japan equities must be quite unique.

Yes... it was mentioned in another thread... probably whilst you were taking a break from ASF.

Could we bounce for a bit from here? Sure, I guess anything is possible.

But I'd say the probability of further rises is dropping each day, it wouldn't be too surprising if last weeks high was the highest high for the next 21-42 days.

So far, no signs of a lawn dump/money cannon by the CBs, pretty much the only thing I think will save last weeks entire move from getting faded.
