      would’ve rather seen a gap down & go today . still , there is a signal for a 205x print or lower by Friday and I’m short for that , as the odds are good( nothing in life is certain) maybe the odds blow-up this time round , but for now I’ll only reconsider on a close above 2120.

      system nailed it & closed half my shorts for 54 pts this morning. hope for a gap fill later , then time to see if she wants a 2020 print tomorrow….

        Excellent Cim. Great stuff.
        I take it you have taken a holiday? Which country?
        Seems like its a CGOS (Cimac Goes Away System). The moment you leave, the market tanks!

        Hi K … just a few days break away from trading.
        Out and about in the South West.
        Another break centred Easter.
        Going to France in the summer.

        Good to see the downside.
        Ftse was in my price and time window for a cit
        but the wave count and pattern do not look as
        one would expect so keep those short stops
        in place as per kpad good practice.

        Never give up, never surrender.

            added bit back on the fill..should close lower than this later & worth a shot imo

              Decent bounce by Dax and US with the Ftse a bit limp.

              Key is who controls friday and monday, imho.

                I had a quick look at some charts and to me the bears task
                is to retest each month’s low with Oct 2014 as the prize.

                What are the odds the bears can retest Oct 2014 low before
                the bulls can retest ath ?

                I would say 50-50 which is the best odds the bears have
                had to achieve anything for quite a while and they do
                have the ball in their hands.

                Today and monday are key.

                Never give up, never surrender.

                  Bulls have to restrict the falls and each month’s
                  low back to Oct 2014 are also their must holds.

                  I said before that the Ftse chart was not 100%
                  behind the bear case even though we have had
                  this drop from within my price & time window.

                  As per normal it’s all to play for and for day
                  traders to take a balanced view and to cheer
                  both bulls and bears when they have the ball 😉

                    Aside from the charts.

                    Those leaders up for election this year will not like
                    these market falls. So often they point to markets
                    and say, ‘markets are always right’, so just look
                    how well we are doing !

                    You can bet they will try every trick and qe treat
                    in the book to halt this drop.

                    Never give up, never surrender.

                      Easter holidays.

                      The current market weakness started in the new moon window so
                      will we see support in the full moon window which is centred
                      on 4th April, which being a saturday presents a wider window
                      for the Ftse which is closed friday and monday.

                        Greece submitted a list of reforms aimed at getting support
                        from creditors for more cash and better terms with the
                        answer expected next week.

                        The answer and market reaction is very much a wild card.

                          Greek proposals for a revised bailout program don’t have enough detail – are “piecemeal and vague” – to satisfy the government’s international creditors, eurozone officials said. Furthermore, as Dow Jones reports, EU finance ministers are unlikley to meet again until mid-April (and in the meantime, Greece has to pay salaries, pensions, and most critically IMF debts due on April 9th).

                            Dan, on that basis I will short this Dax retest of 12000
                            even though the chart shows it may exceed the roundie
                            as it hunts the short stops that will be set above it 😉

                              Greece situation is one of real suffering and hardship for the poor.

                              Set that against financial planing right out of Alice in Wonderland
                              on which the EcB et al is expected to write an open check that
                              the people in Germany etc, just don’t want to underwrite.

                              It’s hard to know how this is going to work out.

                                Small short Ftse 6906 which is the next phase of my bigger
                                picture Ftse trading requiring a lot of time and margin.

                                Just FYI and no advice intended as per kpad rules.

                                  How annoying, whilst working on the Ftse short the Dax
                                  started to drop so I squeezed the stop only to find
                                  the Dax started up again, which took me out.

                                  There is a new rule, only setup one trade at a time.

                                  Time to enjoy this sun in the South West and dream
                                  of good profits from my Ftse short 😉
