      Very lucky of me to flip short the Dow trade. I thought I was in far too early but no, now have to manage the stop 🙂

      That was short and sweet in both directions. Net gain +11pts Not a very productive day for me. The best has been to avoid any loss.

      A profit is a profit my friend.

      On to the next trade

          The idea is to try and keep the hedge on until 4.30pm, I will try but if I get good points before that I will be happy to take them.

              hi everyone i have been a member of khalsas pad since the MSN times i haven’t login for a long time i start larking recently. Nice to see they are still some active poster.

              I haven’t be trading since the esm changed the rules i used to do quick scalps 1- 10 min

              starting with ÂŁ50 making it 4K in 2 to 3 week and the blowing it on wild bets.

              After 2009 i took a decision to bank some and i had been profitable ever since hence my advfn user name restart09.

              New rules destroyed my style. Coupled with lack of time and i stopped trading just tried some position trading not very successful lol

                  Closed yesterdays short on SPX from 2923.7 at 2823.7 for a massive 100 handles. That’s the first of those in this run.

                    Still have Tuesday’s shorts , all in very nice profit on SPX, DAX, FTSE.

                    Personally I still feel to early to close.

                    Will see what happens around 6.30pm/7pm.

                      The tank was caused by Elon Musk who said his shares (Tesla) were too high.

                        Thats great work!

                        My  greatest weakness = lack of patience which I am mastering slowly . Happy to take 20-30 points against ST trend in these markets and not overtrade .

                          Thanks Kapila. I think in my case I had a clear plan and I really was convinced the up was all nonsense. I stuck to that plan. I only took the profit becuase it hit 100 handles and I took the FTSE earleir becuase it was multiples of 100 points profit. You have to bank when you are running others in profit.

                          I also feel at the very minimum we go up into 6.15pm now.

                              So the FANG’s (and I have been going on and on about those) were far too ahead of themselves.

                              Amazon down near 7&, Apple down and Tesla down 10%.

                              It was a very stupid situation when the market was going up so wildly based on the FANG’s.

                                  That’s awesome bro. Well done. My graph has mass gyrations both ways as I often run underwaters for a plan. The market does not always oblige the day I want it to and often I am 1 to 2 days early. If you read back this weeks thread you will get what I am saying and how I traded it and stuck to my plan.

                                  Remind me of your first name again, it will be nice to address you by it.

                                  Plan your trade, trade your plan!
