holding the currency shorts with growing profits protected by trailing stop @ 1.1905. as VN would say, it's time to take out the canes in equities. i am entering LONG in DIA and SPY around 4 PM today. see you later! surfer
perhaps i jumped the gun a little with the phrase popularized by VN on his site---- here is the basic gist of the idea: http://www.dailyspeculations.com/Letter/cane.htm holding LONG indexes here, short eur/usd pair surfer
ok, our long play turned profitable this afternoon. holding longs here. mean regressing actively trading the eur/usd pair at this time-- profitable so far today--long curently short dollar best wishes, surfer
popularized? Oh yeah, all the cool kids are using it these days. They're like, Yo, Yo, shizzle ma nizzle, dog, its like time to take out ma cane an bust a cap in this market. Seriously though, "take out the canes" means being on the buying end of a major panic that happens once in a while. Is that what's happening now? Hmm... lemme see... Dow +25 pts, other indices flat.
Yes that's what happened. We had an intraday rally of 100 points. So just the end of day data doesn't tell the whole picture....
Pekelo, I think you're missing the point. "taking out the canes" is not about intraday moves. Its about a sustained downmove that takes prices down hard.
holding the DIA and SPY longs over weekend. flat currencies--- caught nice downwave this morning in eur but went flat over weekend. best wishes, surfer
