      Closed Dow and Ftse longs.

      Re-opened the small Dow short at 17951

      That’s me finished for the week.

      Hope you all have a great weekend.

      Never give up, never surrender.

          FTSE struggling, looks likely the September low will be visited before any significant rally.

            Taken off 20% of spx shorts for 60+ pts , to make the balance pretty risk free . Would like to see a weekly close today below 2100 to confirm things .

            Who knows about next week , but my bias(whilst below 2100ish) is to see 2030 and if we break that lower still. Some of the weekly gaps below need filling imo to set up another rally.

              As expected margin requirements have been increased by some
              providers for trading tomorrow.

              Ftse & Dax 4 x normal – Dow & spx 2 x normal

              They could rise again nearer the US election.

              Around the Brexit vote Ftse was 10 x normal at some providers.

              Atm I have no open positions but if I do then I will budget
              for margin at 10 x normal.

              Never give up, never surrender.

                Bear trap and margin calls lift Dow above 18100 & spx above 2112

                Small short Dow 18112 with allowance for yet larger margin
                and a clinton win.

                        Small long Dow 18195 (still holding small short 18140).

                                Whilst we continue to get Dow ooh movement I will attempt
                                to improve my short entry point before the close.

                                In an ideal world I want a short entry 18200 – 18250 at
                                no extra cost than when I started this trade setup.

                                Much work to be done but then I am at home all day.

                                Never give up, never surrender.

                                  The reason I want 18200-18250 is that I think
                                  this rally from below 18000 tops at 18500
                                  and then drops to complete the retrace
                                  and then goes to new aths.

                                  The only thing which would blow this trade
                                  would be a grind to Dow 19300 without
                                  atleast a drop below 18000 first.

                                  If this does go tits then I take a multi
                                  week Christmas holiday and trade again
                                  in early 2017 with fresh ideas, money
                                  and analysis to short the new aths.

                                  Never give up, never surrender.
