Some fairly serious buying on that up move on the Seng. Retests incoming?

No retests of highs at least haha.

 

[Trembling Hand]

Another rather ugly pull back from new highs.



No idea what it was doing up there anyway. Kospi down 0.8% Nk down 1.1%

Yeah, was surprised at the spike...no news either, other than car sales...

Given it all back again...

God bless the DAX gap fills!
They've rescued my grail from the brink of extinction.
It's now all but fully recovered from the impact of the New Year's DAX gap!

The new years DAX gap is now behind me and I've also retrieved the profits spilled when "not so jolly now" Santa flattened my grail!
(I do wonder how the repairs to his cottage are progressing.)

Happy

days

are

here

again!...

What does one conclude when the tape shows big lots coming through (multiple 2000 and 3000 lots) but no price movement in the slightest even after most announcements finished for the day and they were positive for US currency....
"Accumulation"? For a clear out of everyone's stops when they try and short this...



Volume hasn't been anything to write home about but there's just been big orders in no short supply for the past couple nights.

Well, I guess that's how I would think if I had millions and wanted to get myself some more LOL (Disclaimer: this 'speculation' could be why I don't have millions ).

Boofis, that sounds like a job for VSA experts!

Personally, I am a little wary of reading too much into price action now that the World's printing presses are working overtime replenishing waning economies.
However, I am by no means the best person to ask, the reason being that my trading strategies only require a sufficiently liquid market (irrespective of trend) to be practicable.
(I won't elaborate too much on my methods here as many would be mortified by my divergence from more fashionable practices).

Sengs liking those 500s and the STW followed the theme of strength this morning with a nice move up.


Anyone know of a free online site that gives semi reliable Nikkei updates? Even better if it has all the asian region like investing.com does for the rest of the world.

Very prescient T/H! I didn't realise that you were also accomplished in IA (Intuitive Analysis)-Gotta love those sheep entrails!

To those ASFers that bravely PM'd me, I'll respond in the next day or two but please be aware that I still consider myself a "wannabe" trader.

My trading methodology embodies CA (Cynical Analysis). In effect my systems are designed by cynic for cynic. I will consider offering my perspectives to those that enquire, however, specifics of the systems that I am trading will not be offered, and please remember what I said - I'm still a "wannabe" !
So, in effect, me telling you how I do it may be tantamount to instructing you on how :
"You too can become a "wannabe" trader just like cynic!".

What the DAX giveth one session, the DAX doth taketh away the next!

WTF...the STW is so difficult to setup on NT

What is the bloody front month of this stupid contract anyway??? Is it January or not????

Turns out i need to use the 24/7 session template, bloody hopeless, how the h*** are you supposed to know that crap without spending all morning on the NT forum....:frown:

Arrrrrgggghhh.....

Christine Lagarde's done her best to put a wet hand on all the happiness over night.
Still a most hated rally sure is continuing to twist the knife.
My suspicion that the consensus is, 'that bond money will have to go somewhere.'

Everything i read says that March is the current contract, however the volume doesn't look right....:frown:

 

[Trembling Hand]

STW.... Nin...ing



Its a monthly, Use Jan.

 

[CanOz]

Thanks TH, why don't they just say 'monthly' instead of this crap

2 nearest serial months and 12 quarterly months on a March, June, September and December cycle.

Are you using a Kospi session template??? OR 24/7?
