      Ftse 7090 rejected.

      In a normal market that could be seen as the expected ‘h’ in
      already but these are far from normal times, so we take it
      step by step with stops.

        Dow ooh has been +75pts and -75pts as it was under the
        influence of the early euroland pop and drop.

        I wonder if rth will be fair and treat bulls and bears in
        equal measure 🙂

          Just been told that someone I know is long the Dow from
          today’s ooh low, will close and reverse short at 18025

          Fair play to them.

          I would not like to run a US long much past the open
          if and only if it does repeat the euroland action.

          Stops are a must whatever you do.

            Phew, they reversed soon after the open and have short stops on
            the way down. I hate it when I think someone has risked their
            money on my scribbles !

              I am flat now as the Ftse bounce took my trailing stop.

              Not sure if playing the drop into the weekend, or the
              rally into EOM, is the best play, assuming either or
              none come to pass.

              If the US were to rally in it’s last hour, I may get
              in on the short side again.

              Happy enough with today’s action.

                I have a small short on the Cac which shows
                that I am not just a Ftse guy 😉

                Bears need to take this market down now and
                use this window before the bulls come back.

                On the Ftse a good attempt at 6800 is the
                kind of target they should aim for.

                  Cac did a quicker drop than the Ftse so closed that
                  for a few pts and got back short on old faithful.

                  Time to just let the market do it’s thing really.

                    Ftse dip buyers are back as per yesterday … grrr

                    I notice some have Dax to 11k and that would, time wise,
                    get the Ftse atleast near to 6800

                    Ftse 6800 is on many radar’s as it’s logical support or
                    atleast a test of support. If we are in an ascending
                    triangle, target new ath’s, then the Ftse will find
                    support above 6800. So should we get down there,
                    it will indicate which pattern is still in play.

                      Ftse short got stopped at b/e which leaves me flat.

                      The further we get into this bear window, without
                      downside progress, the more I may tend to stay
                      out and watch what happens. Then I will put
                      my efforts into EOM window.

                        I am again short Ftse at 7030 with the stop now at b/e
                        and this is my last attempt this side of the weekend.

                        I stay on alert for some Greek deal, even if at times
                        that has seemed almost impossible, as it could be
                        a trigger for a decent rally.

                        Let’s see how we go.

                          Stop hit so that’s me done as I cannot explain the time and
                          price of these moves, hence I have no right to be trading.

                          Goodluck to all those still in.

                            Just noticed a minor pattern on the Ftse which
                            should complete in 7050 – 7075 very soon.

                            Tempted to short a breakdown as it may fit in
                            with a minor US cit anytime now.

                            If this does not work then the sky is blue
                            and I will take myself off out 🙂

                              Took +10pts from my Ftse short and closed the book for today.

                              Each day the bears can’t hit Ftse 6800 increases the chances
                              that the bulls will hit 7200 first, imho.

                                US stop run algos in action but they would have
                                to run upto s&p 2120 to do a proper job.

                                  In 5 out of last 6 years , we’ve seen a dip into the April expiry . In 4/5 of those the low came on the Monday after expiry , the 5th on the Friday of expiry week . The window for a high before that dip was 4th-14th April . Yesterday’s high came in on the 13th… Size of the dip is c 2.5-4.5% . An “average ” 3% would get us to the 2040 support level, the level targeted ( & failed) from last week. In the year this didn’t work, there was an early month dip of 4% which bottomed on the 11th. Largest high to low dip this month is less than 1% so far . either this is statistical nonsense or we have a 2-3% dip due in the next 5 sessions … I remain short & a tad u/water.

                                  got a 2% dip and closed two thirds of my shorts on Friday. If we rally into tomorrow , I shall prob add them back…have a cit due Friday/Monday fwiw

                                  added shorts back at 2109 – wrong much above 2112

                                  took 12 pts from a quarter position. stop on the rest at 2114, to lock some in . next few days should be interesting…

                                  pulled my stop for now , as it feels like just a stop run. pleased I’ve banked along the way. thought the cit was a low , maybe a high -lol
