the number of posts increases as the trading warms up.

this as a marker with no time scales but a target
in the many 100’s of pips.

I also have a half share in a Dax short, Ftse long
combo with my girlfriend, this trade will be closed
out when each is in profit.

Never give up, never surrender.

and then July and November.

a greater lose on Dax short. Hard to own up to
mistakes but its part of the learning curve.

I am short Dax 9601 which like the Cable short is
a trade without a time line. These trades can only
be taken with large margin within the account.

Never give up, never surrender.

more than makes up for earlier error and starts
the new trading year off very nicely.

US markets should be interesting today.

Never give up, never surrender.

last consecutive gap up and go occurrence was 1975 and 1976.

1977 also saw the opening gap never recovered …this time down.

2014……..?????

good stats with v low risk ,so went 200% swing short at the close on 31/12/13 and added dax and ftse shorts this morning . stops just above Friday’s highs .

my last attempt at a swing short cost me 10 pts and we’ll see if we get the gap down today to set it up.

in any event will look to reduce the shorts to lock something in if we trade negative for 1-3 days , before the inevitable bounce.

Good Luck and HNY

their minds up faster than they expected, imho.

Never give up, never surrender.

for the taking just today. If 2014 gives moves like that
we will have a great year.

Never give up, never surrender.

if today’s gap holds then I hope we stay in a range of 1550-1850 all year. if it doesn’t then I guess we could see 1890/1900 before a correction. Jan/Feb might get v volatile imo

have cut half my dax short here to make sure I have a + result , but will run the rest for a bit.

be interesting to see where K has support – maybe in the low 181x’s if it wants to follow through before a bigger bounce….
