      Dow 20200 equiv spx 2310 is a contender but
      after so many failed ‘top’ calls we have
      learned to be VERY cautious before we
      risk anything other than play money.

      Never give up, never surrender.

        With the US on a wave up the Ftse can try for 7300.

        At the US close today I will merge short positions
        and hold a short over the weekend.

          Phew …. what a day this has been.

          Back and forth long and short mainly Dax and Dow trades.

          Used day trade profits to buy out all short positions.

          Short Dow 20253 – stop 22000 – limit 17800

          Not the best or the worst I could have opened but it
          is the sucker I will ride into next week.

          Have a great weekend … talk monday … now where
          is that bottle opener !!!

                I have made a few more trades in this tight last hour range
                and used the profits to close my 20253

                I have just opened two shorts and if we continue up on
                monday then I will close one and add those funds to
                push the remaining positions stop a lot higher.

                Short Dow 20280 – stop 21250 – limit 18100

                Short Dow 20280 – stop 21250 – limit 18100

                This plan is my last positional trade against the
                current rally. If it fails then it is back to
                day trades only for me.

                Never give up, never surrender.

                  On New Years day I posted my big picture Dow numbers.

                  20000 down to 17000
                  17000 up to 20500
                  20500 down to 14000
                  14000 up to 22600

                  This was wrong as the extention of numbers was out
                  by an as yet unknown factor.

                  It now looks like we could see

                  20500 down to 17000

                  as the near term ‘h’ then retrace and it is what
                  my positional trade is set and will be adjusted
                  to meet, the actual numbers we get.

                  Never give up, never surrender.

                    Based on that projection I could sit tight with my
                    short entries as posted … eg …

                    Short Dow 20280 – stop 21250 – limit 18100

                    But as 20500 may not ‘top’ this move I will trail
                    my stops by hand and let the market take them
                    out at b/e ( to be set on a tag of 20200 )
                    and then reset short higher, most likely
                    at some point north of 20500, where I
                    would have to replay the game.

                    My main aim is to not to lose the money set
                    aside for this trade. Profits can only be
                    thought of once this current move ‘tops’.

                    Never give up, never surrender.

                      Interested in the Dow or how the wave count
                      could gives clues to spx etc then there is
                      a good post by Enda Glynn on 10th Feb.

                        Jupiter retrograde 6th February to 9th June 2017
                        Venus retrograde 4th March to 8th April 2017

                        So based on the EW and astros we could pick a
                        time window when both planets are retrograde
                        and a price of Dow 21200 for a major cit.

                        Never give up, never surrender.

                          At some point next week the Dow should start a shallow
                          drop and then rally again to new ath’s and then quite
                          a big drop before a large rally again to ath’s.

                          So once this down up down up sequence starts each
                          move gets larger so there will be profits for all
                          but only for those not married to there position.

                          I am short Dow 20280 and will wait for that first
                          down move to start (as it’s unclear where it
                          starts from) and then trail stops.

                          Never give up, never surrender.

                            If the US mimics the euroland bullishness then
                            we could see Dow 20500 and spx 2335 today.

                            No change to my Dow positional trade even if
                            we do get that kind of rally. Only above
                            the 21000 level, before a run at 20000,
                            would require a rethink, fwiw.

                            Never give up, never surrender.

                              No surprise as Dow 20440 and spx 2330 hit so far.

                              That has saved my positional trade as I have bought
                              out the 20280 with todays profits.

                              Never give up, never surrender.

                                Try again for this elusive positional.

                                Short Dow 20425 – stop 21250 – limit 18100

                                I will have to adjust this further as I still
                                expect Dow 20500 then a drop to 20100 and
                                then a rally to 21200 (too near my stop)
                                before the drop to 18100 (the play off).

                                Maybe I should pack this trading lark
                                in and find a sugar mummy.

                                  Sorted the problem with the stop by closing
                                  and reopening at half the trade size.
                                  I now have a stop which should not be hit
                                  as the limit should be hit first ( famous
                                  last words ).

                                  Short Dow 20431 – stop 22250 – limit 18100

                                  I will add on the second half when we are
                                  deffo in the proper drop.

                                  Day trading only whilst positional trade
                                  scenario unfolds with the focus drop
                                  when Venus is retrograde.
