@ASusilovic Guess I don't have to wish you luck for your trading since you obviously succeded in eliminating much of the random nature of it. Deep thanks for the many stimulating ideas and clues. I wish you a multitude of exploitable repeated patterns and bot moves in the future. Good trading to you and your firm (or don't they say something like "guet's trading" in Zug?) U.
@Asus: good luck and thanks for all your contributions. short DAX 6755. S&P500 at resist, everything overbought as fuck. hoping this is a blow off double top in the US markets. logic would dictate that a move of this size would retrace. iow... i better get prepared to get smoked in this one (again)!!!!!!!! also short the hang seng overnight- that could be ugly for me when it opens.
well, I never closed short position on dax, I was just buying hedges. I must be short cash DAX from 6500 or so. Hang seng gives me hangover as well, cca. 150 points loss with 40 spread. I guess we saw the same stupid opportunity, . I didn't realize that all US QE2 will go to China. Nevermind, my pension contributions go into chinese index.
Well, nobody expected that retail and industrial orders can sustain this recovery. Also euro was too expensive and they have to pursue some sort of QE as US to depreciate euro and prop-up inflation.
they outperformed monday. Euro going up was a fire driving the DAX for a while. Eur/USD drops from 1.42 to 1.38 and the DAX still sits at the high even when industrial production # was simply awful. go figure. still short but feeling like i'm spitting into the wind....
Brazenness of FDAX longs is breath taking. Entering 600 Dec 6800 calls. Short FDAX. See you at least 80 points lower.
