I was thinking about a short of a couple contracts at 11049 on the DAX, with a stop above 11000. Then, considering its Friday and I'll be doing :drink:, while Draghi is doing :karaoke:, you'd have to be :screwy:
So I'll sit and watch this for a while....maybe read my new book
Short at 11049 and a stop at 11000, have you already had a few :drink: haha
looks like we might challenge that little gap around the 11200 if we can keep this bid going through the cash...
Obviously that urge to short has passed...
Are you referring to the little gap waaaay back in August?
Just when I thought the extraordinary run of disruptive events was finally behind me, my power company decides to let me down.
I am now in the midst of my third power outage today. Fortunately the second one was reasonably quickly remedied, and my UPS and batteries should hopefully see me through to the end of my trading session.
However, I must say that the number of diverse and annoying things I've had to contend with this past couple of weeks is severely testing the last vestiges of my somewhat limited patience!
Cynic, do you believe in that whole 'law of attraction' thing?

Certainly a good reminder to have redundancy plan! Laptop fully charged in case of power outage, phone with hotspot for internet, gas powered generator, windmill and solar panels:
Yes. My UPS was fully exhausted along with my first laptop before yesterday's close. Luckily I had an additional 3 laptops charged and ready of which only one had to be deployed. However, trading from laptops via candlelight is not nearly so romantic as it sounds!!
What kind of redundancy do you have in place for your Internet connection?
Unfortunately yes.
Do you guys think the market has changed after the August 24th flash crash? Just a general question, purposely vague and curious to see what you guys think...
