hey ageo couldve been 1200$ by now ,i cant believe ive just watched it continue falling, wheres the bend at the end?Nathan

yes i know it can hurt but hey there are always trades like this.

The main thing is to learn from it and implement next time.

anywayz i made $500 net from a short MBL trade yesterday.

so im still a tad happy



P.S you see what i mean now about having those trailing stops in place. Even if i was wrong 3 times i would have lost $600 but 1 right trade could have put me in $600 profit.

small win/loss ratio but high reward/risk ratio
 
looks like a run back up is getting established.
seems to be a lot of large hits on the ask?

could be a run back up but if its like the last week or so then you will get murdered as it will most likely bounce up and down now.

Funny that.....
 
Anyone else noticed the tight channel since July 15th? SPI has been in a trading range 4875-5020 for three weeks now. When she breaks out of it I guess we can expect some powerful moves from all that pent-up emotion. My money is on the downside. If I'm wrong I can expect :whip from my wife.

thats a good thing!


and yes i have noticed the rangebounds it has been trading in.

Weird indeed
 

That's what stops are for hopeful! We should rename them anti-whipping orders
 
Maybe not!
......you were right Ageo.
In and out a few times for zip!
Did get most of todays down move though......46 pts!!!
 
I'll feel like I have been through a blender
but I'm still short and now in the positive again
 
Nice one neo, very well done
Nice one Freddo, welcome back
Interesting that profs number 4940
Todays mid point.

Dec and Sept contracts both had a high of 4971... mind you the Dec volume was a big 3.

Sycom closed at 4917

Friday XJO close was 4956.1.
I would expect some catchup of the spi on Monday am (assuming it opens low).
Any thoughts?
I will be looking for a long trade near the open!
Bronte, as per your previous posts, is this a day when you would trade the 'spi discount' assuming it opens near 4917 on Monday?
 
Yes neo, We would be looking to Buy a low open.
Hopefully Battman64 can give us some Gann Support around here
