International markets traders banter

Quite downdraft on the markets this morning....my system went long on the SPI and the HSI and got stopped out on both, luckily my Kospi short is holding up...so far.

Not a great way to start the week though:flush:, behind the eight ball already!

I haven't been idling away all this time where I haven't been trading.

I've written a new prediction/forecast engine, using completely different method, to compare with the old one.

Just testing at this point, but tonights prediction for SPY is higher close than Fridays close. It does a magnitude (0.1% up) prediction but for now just working with direction as I iron out the kinks.

The S&P has got to tag the Globex low before it shrugs this off.

[CanOz]

2 ticks off the bottom....not too bad!

Yeah i like the automation, I've got too many gray hairs for that crap!

Got the bot on the EMD, YG, and the TF tonight.

with tomorrow being VIX ops exp there's a few traps set........
the index pricing is as much to do with the ops auction as any voodoo about europe..........frankly, imho, the eurozone waffle is a nice smoke screen not that there arent genuine trades flowing as a result .......
