      Short Dow 20600

      This is my only open trade and its a hold.

      My concern is we go direct to Dow 21200 without
      the retrace to 20200 which seems very odd but
      markets are always right. I still expect the
      larger retrace to 18100 in March.

      Never give up, never surrender.

          Yes it’s not natural.

          Weaker today in euroland but with OE tomorrow I expect
          prices will hold.

          Punters with the wrong options have really been
          ‘screwed glued and papered over’ and it is not
          likely they will be allowed a way out.

            Short Dow 20600

            Will try again higher, IF we go that way.

              Option expiry tomorrow might settle the market

              Here Is The “Catalyst” For The Market’s Inexplicable Surge: A $17 Billion Trade Gone Wrong

              note
              This should surprise no one of course – anyone who has experienced the moves of the last week or so is exasperated, as our trading desk contact noted earlier – “something snapped” – and the ammo for this mechanical move is out on Friday when the options expiration.

                Interesting read.

                Ftse and Dax look s4l today which follows the sequence
                but the US has been hard to pin down except today it
                does look like s4l … so far.

                Regardless of STD the US has taken the most bullish
                option ( no pun intended ) everyday so let’s see
                what it can do from this lod.

                  I am trying to balance the fact we still have OE against
                  being another day nearer the Venus retrograde period.

                    of a new financial crisis.

                    QE a poison pill for banks if you over dose.

                          Dow to open the most down in a week or more, say futs.

                            Ftse looks like s1l so far … confirmation needed.

                            More interest than usual as monday is bookends s4.

                            US has a holiday on monday which is partly why my
                            short interest is switched from Dow to Ftse.

                              Closed Ftse short at 7280 for -4pts

                              I am not sure the markets are ready to go down
                              as fast as the US futs indicate.

                              Overall much more profit on Dow than loss on Ftse
                              so it’s a good day and I may let the US action
                              run it’s course and see where it and Ftse
                              ooh is at 21:00 (gmt).

                                Small short Ftse 7300

                                Got up to circa 7320 in ooh last night and may
                                want that in rth. I will take that risk as I want
                                a weekend hold and do not fancy Dow
                                due to holiday monday.

                                Have a great weekend.

                                  Closed at 7296 so atleast I got the 4pts back.

                                  Undecided re where US rth and hence Ftse ooh is going tonight.

                                  Never give up, never surrender.
