DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

Took me a while to find this thread!

Looks like the DJ is going to bounce off 10200 rather than go through it!

Lw: Exactly my sentiment aswell i was thinking tops would be 10250 and then hopefully splat down.
Just watching atm.
Had a short on the cable and is doing well just locking in profits.Lets see how far it will go down than bounce up.

Looks like the S@P is on a gap filling exercise to 1110 where it
gapped down from on Monday after Friday's close.

Be interesting to see what happens if/when it gets there.

I've just been looking around my US trading platform (myTrack) - I've only had it for more than 5 years and never noticed all the facilities! Like this:

Well the DJ managed to break 10200 - and I'm off now for the night!

And the S@P has closed the gap open down from Monday
but..................
has left a gap open higher today. :-)

Now then, have we just made a lower swing low at 1089
and have now set off to make another swing high or have
we just had a breather and turn down again.

If it drops towards the close the FTSE won't know what
to do tomorrow. :-)

Decisions, decisions.
Good game this.

Melnibone.

little woman - useful facility that pulse.

If you lose this thread you can always get to it from the link in the cafe header. That's why I asked GD to put it there, bless his cotton socks.

I have added another dooberry on the charts. After an article I read in Trader magazine I have added a target. The target is calculated as the closing price plus/minus (depending on whether long or short) the (8 period)Average Tue Range. The target is effectively the limit stop. This means the target is dynamic according to the volatility of the price at the time of the signal. I will be working on a stop based on a similar principle.

I'm going to have a hot lemon and honey with some disprin and hit the sack. I may get up out of my bed tomorrow and I may not.

Oh dear, snoball - it's a real lingering "cold" doing the rounds. Although I thought my was finished 3 weeks ago, I still have a irritating "sniffle" from time to time.

Afternoon everybody: I wonder what the YM has in store for us today?
Its good to see that the ftse is not the dog in tow today so far.
Reckon its going to pop up than drop or the other way round seems more logical as they may want to end the month in positive scenario.
as they say all will be revealed....

Looks like you may be right - After an initial drop, its pulling back up although the S&P is doing better than the DJ

S@P stuck where it closed the gap open
that was created last Monday circa 1110.

Ftse hovering around the the 4330/4360 swing low band
I was on about yesterday.

Bit of a Bull/Bear tussle going on at the moment.

Capital Spreads has gone to Telephone only.
MarketMaker5 keeps losing connection.

Shall I bother, or give in gracefully for the week?

Sigh.

Melnibone.

Hi Mel:
I had the same problem a couple of times with IG sysytem going Down -so i found another one as standby for emergency and hedging the position (in my case it being capitalspreads)Capital spreads is OK but the prices are averaged and the updates are not quick enought but when u look at IG&Capital screens u can play the diversity in price to get a better deal.

Hi everybody;
Early in today.
Lets see what the dow gives us today. My feeling is that it has more downside than up atm.Will consolidate around try to go north then headbound south.IMHO.
Also the american clocks update at weekend so effectively american mkt opening at 15.30gmt.So those guys on the ftse have one hour to see what effect it has.

hi Dow going up like arocket and am following it with a long until it runs out of fuel and then hopefully attach myself with a short when it drops like a stone (ie if it does that.)

Absolutely amazing - the s&p has almost hit its (my) target of 1123.

How was the course zarif? Learn anything new?

Hi zarif - pluck that one out with the new software, great run up lol. did you get the email ok ?

Snoball: The course was OK -but more geared for long to medium term dealing.Based solely on Gann Levels and discarding TA and FA. I was more interested to hear the developments for intraday trading by Tony zafar -BUT he was away in Pakistan.So until next time-just have to wait and see.

Kandrews250 -got your email and will reply to you later. They sent me an update to the programme but i must have done something silly as cant get it to work and have to zap everything Off and start again.

zarif, I had forgotten about your new software until just mentioned. I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with it when re-installed.

still looks up which way will it break, looks to be rolling over ?
