DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

Terod, I reserve the right to ignore the system! :-)
As it happens my instincts were right (for a change) and the price dropped.
Unfortunately the December Wall st Future high today was precisely at my stop and the price went there before it dropped. It's tricky trying to place stops.
I'm beginning to think that all this talk of using stops is a load of codswallop. It seems to me that when you place stops you guarantee the trade will terminate at a loss.
The reason I ignored the system was that after large moves like yesterday there are often corrective moves in the opposite direction the following day. So I thought it was worth a scalp.

Where is averybody? I've been working today so haven't been watching the market 'til now.

Hi Snowball,
I believe Zarif is at the NW Traders Day at Harrogate. I suspect he will be racing back to try and catch some of the action.
You were almost spot on about a 50 point retracement from the highs of yesterday - good call.
I've no idea where it's going from here, have you?

Up, Harlosh, probably.
Watch yesterdays high, 9860.

evening all,

long dow from 9833 it is looking good,how are you all keeping well i take it???

Mega...

On further study Harlosh, I dunno. :-)

evenin Mega.

The trin is too high so I'm not going long.
I'm staying out.
nite all.

Afternoon everybody:
Sorry wasnot in yesterday as went to Harrogate meeting.It was a great day out very pleasurable and with lots of speakers giving very sound advice and methodology. I recommend you try and visit next venues if u can as it will greatly improve your trading skills and approach to the market.

Anyway back to our auction which starts in an hour how are we going to put our ship out to sea ?
I reckon with all the bullish scenario thats piled on it will continue with the trend upwards. There is definitely resistance at 9850 -which can become short term support.Also the ftse has been testing the 4400 levels again to nose up further.
Watch the matrket and let it guide your actions -our ship should go with the flow.Remember it is easier to swim with the current rather than against it -You can to an extent -but ultimately will tire u out and finally Pull u in (beware of the sharks)

zarif

took out a short in the beginning and netted 27pts x10 =270 notes then a long giving 105 notes.
have got a long opening at 9842 -wonder if it will get up there or might have to chase it down with a short. seems to be stuck around 9832 +/-say 11

9850 resistance looks a tough nut to crack. i can see it testing the lows at 9820 again.

Diego

had a long opening at 9842 -closed at 9852 =10pts x10 =100
diego - you are right at 9850 and 9830 -seems to get stuck there -but beware resistance can soon turn to support if violated decisively.
i think if (should say when) it falls it sgoing to go to around 9000-9200

Evening. Like watching paint dry.

hi snoball.
seems stagnant - do you reckon it will nose dive today. I think its due for one and i have got a short open.

It seems to be weakening doesn't it, zarif. I'm not trading today, just watching.

welldone diego watch the last hour as has a habit of either diving out of control which is quids in) or shootink up like a rocket -which can put paid to all the patient waiting that u have endured -best to cash in or lock in the profits by moving in your stop loss
