      Morning Cimac

      After seeing where Dow settled after close, around 50 pips below  close at 9pm, I decided to close FTSE and long Dow.

      Took +3 on FTSE and Dow currently +20. Have that set to take profit at +30 which is still 20 below close   !

      Oscar has a neutral stance and is looking to buy a dip or sell a rally. Seems a good plan for today. Personally I’d rather short a rally.

      Im flat oil but will consider shorting any decent rally today. Also looking for a better entry point to short FTSE. Anywhere near last nights close will be a bonus.

      Off to work now.

        Hi Gekko. Good to be back thanks 🙂

        Just closed spx short for 5.5 pips.

        Took FTSE short earlier at 6808. Not looking for too much but a setup for tomorrow or Monday.

              Just gone short spx which doesn’t seem to agree with DOW lack of upside.

                Thanks Cimac.

                I took profits on FTSE and Dow last night sorting the top. Closed half  oil too leaving just one oil.

                Did a quick FTSE long before open this morning to take 15 pips on gap fill open back to yesterday’s closed.

                Plan now is same as you Cimac. Waiting for later today and if this is another reasonable up day I’ll look to short. May take a day or so to close if it breaks up further. Either way, has to be a reasonably safe bet for a few points.

                Good luck.

                    Hi Cimac

                    Also Dan and Gekko. Long time since we were on here for hours every day.

                    I gave up for some time after getting burn in the relentless rise northward.  It on,y needs getting caught in a small number of positions to limit trading ability unless you have a large pot for margin and can make enough scalping to cover any losses. It got too stressful worrying over trades.

                    I dipped my toe back in a few weeks ago and doing ok by not doing boredom trades.

                    Not on the subs side yet but may do in time.

                    I do read all your odors and it’s good to hear others views so I wouldn’t be discouraged by the lack of response.

                    Cjrrently trading FTSE, Dow and. Nymex. I’m short all of those. Shorting the big up days like today….nymex yesterday.  Shorting near highs feels comfortable as upside is usually limited and breakouts are usually back tested.
