International markets traders banter

[Trembling Hand]

LOL .... Nah mate .... I ducked at the right time tonight ..... its still going too!!

Yep. Put that one in the play book Barn. Seen it a few times. Strange (Monday) morning premarket push on higher than normal vol to take out old highs then a roll back to fill the gap over the next few days. Then Boom straight through and off to the moon.

I was impressed today when i had my oldest son on my knee in front of the screens and he was able to tell me which markets were which, just from memory. Even i had to out the labels on them after a recent shuffle. As i pointer to each screen he said, Bund, Gable, Oyl, Dax...he missed gold. Happy to see a good start to understanding international markets!

Lol... Isn't your son like 3 years old or something? If he becomes an expert trader by 4 years old, would that debunk the 10,000 hours myth?!

If he is doing that after you shuffled them and just looking at the candlesticks that's unbelievable.

Nah valued, he's just going on the position of each one I reckon....

Feel like I need to be more aggresive if I think the big push is on. Last night's action me looking for shorts but looking for the ideal set up is going to leave me missing plenty.

In a spot like this I almost just need to go for it if I think the potential is there

APPL down 1% premarket , maybe canary in the mine . i think its topped myself , my bullcount is going to flip today

Probably the mess the Euroland indexes are in are a pretty good indication its gonna be a bad looking week.

So as if some cruel twist of fate if I'd left my stop it would have come within a tick before rallying 70 points.

Actual exit at the time was good just after PMI we started reversing and my figuring was if we weren't rallying with other mkts before we won't now.

Wrong wrong 'well it is a bull mkt you know'

 

[Quant]

Rare event recently with a VIX/SPX correlation coefficient reading in the positive , cant see an edge in it just an interesting occurrence , Many swing highs have a brief correlation but not every positive correlation is a swing high

 

[kid hustlr]

How we seeing it sports fans? 10 year bonds on the verge and equities markets retraced most (if not all) of the push from last week. One more quiet day before we get Draghi Thurs and NFP Fri or is the move to be had now?

I still prefer the upside at this stage - especially on the mkts I follow.

SPI looking as bullish as anything right now in my view (first time in 12 years)

Got home this arv after a seeing the Quack for yet another ailment! ... Gotta love getting older

I didn't have any trades on so no need to ring anyone to get the problem fixed .... this time! .... but the charts below are a perfect example of why trading small size (on Index's) as a Neville nobody with dodgy data has its own set of difficulties ...

I just wonder how many retail "Nevilles" may have got caught ... and whether this rogue data is a genuine "accident" (I've seen it many times) .... or perhaps a chance for the bucket shops to catch a few retailers who aren't actually paying attention??

I'm not whinging ... I know if I play on their turf I expect to be "tested" ... but its one of the reasons I went back to trading "slow motion Specs"
