International markets traders banter

geesuz! I thought today was going to be slow! Feels like 2008 all over again!

Tell me about it, been a great day for DOM practice on the SIM! K200 was all over the shop and then i swapped over to Honkers and it was paying out all over the place....

Well i totally stuffed up my perfect day...I missed the news at 4pm and managed to fade against a totally impulsive move into 2503 to the tick...in the process giving back all the days points.

Every time this has happened to me, i think "WTF" and then "Sh**, news....!" and sure enough there has been some bullish news that I've missed and instead of trading with that flow, I'm trying to fade it...

Using the IB DOM has been great today though, i'm seeing orders being pulled and stacked, bergs etc., much easier than before.

Can anyone explain the recent rocket under the Asian markets butt?

There are other time frame participants entering the market in a big way...

Yes, its some sort of sick joke surely?

Yeah its hard to tell sometimes between a sick joke and the HSI being the HSI....for me anyway! 4 lots riding it down from 22030's, I was more concerned about exits than causes!

Few things getting some random spikes, ES and AUD.

I'm guessing this is part election nonsense going on? First election I've watched on the markets I think.

Yeah ES is down nearly 20 full points from last night's high. Tonight will be interesting.

 

[Trembling Hand]

Guys I don't think its a vote against anyone. Its just the game. Increase the volatility, increase the uncertainty, increase the volume, increase the people who will blow up today..........

 

[notting]

Obama won.

Mitt concedes US futs back to flat (almost) everything else well into the green.
