Nite all.

zarif, just got back from GD's place. He's put a link to here in his header. Any chance you can put a link to the tearooms in your header?
Could save a bit of time between trades.
Have a nice weekend all.

No problem at all as we all are frequent drinkers at his place.
Only question is how do i do that (ie.get Gds link from him)
let me know the idiots guide again how to do it and it will be done.Anything u ask of me is too little and in no comparison to what u do everyday for all of us.

How was your trades today.?

zarif,
put this in as a hyperlink:

Do it the same way you did my chart.

At the last minute yesterday I put a Dec long on with a 25 point limit stop and a very tight stop loss and as luck would have it it hit the limit early this morning so i managed to cover my earlier 22 point loss. I had a quick scalp on the daily during the closing rally for 4 points.
Next week I hope to be around more during the day as I want to try some day trades at the open as well as the close.

Snoball: Well done to get some gains at end of play.Sometimes it can be most profitable at the end or the beginning as long as u r watching it.

I tried to paste the link but doesnot seem to be working -that is not becoming a live hyperlink.
can u check and resend to me again

hope u r having a good w/end.

Have a look at this DOw Chart and DO You think that we will reach 10000 or are we going Down. Note the last two candles are RED. My opinion is that we are getting a crow pattern forming and there is going to be delining from here.

smart ar** :-)

Cool charts, zarif.
That weekly bars chart looks interesting.
Watch out for the Feds though.

I read an article in Trader magazine by a successful US trader.
I liked a quote by him:- "Buy fear and sell greed". He's a stock trader but I the reverse must apply when in a downtrend.

Wot's the LWT indicator?

.

Is the market getting bearish?.
The bullish Percent Indicator

LWT Indicator

When no Candlestick Indicator is present
through our Candlestick Analysis Engine,
we provide our proprietary LitWickTrend
Indicator along with a Strength reading.
This can be a dominant indicator in itself
and we use it in conjunction with our
Candlestick Analysis for Stocks and Futures.


Snoball thats the explanation for the indicator but they are not giving away mush.

I think u r right the market is getting bearish for the moment.

The fundamentals

The past week the stock market sold off without any major bad earnings or economic news. It looks like investors just want to take profit even with some good news. For the week, Dow closed down 140 points at 9628.53. Nasdaq is down 36.38 at 1893.88.

The three strongest groups for the week are: silver, sporting goods stores and consumer services. The three worst performing groups are: drug delivery, specialized health services and jewelry stores.

Most of the economic news for the past week are either in line or better than expected. HPQ?s quarterly revenue and earnings are better than the analysts estimate.

Going into this week, we have GDP-prelimary for Q3, consumer confidence for November, existing home sales for October on Tuesday, personal income for October, Durable goods order for October, Michigan sentiments for November and initial claims on Wednesday.

The technicals.

At the end of the week, Dow closed at 9628.53, above the 50-month ema of 9210.87, 200-week ema of 9264.88 and below 50 day ema of 9644. The monthly and weekly Dow charts are still bullish. The daily chart of Dow is a little bearish. The next daily support for Dow is 9500. The resistance for Dow is 9644 and 9800.

On the monthly chart, Nasdaq closed at 1893.9, at the 50 month ema of 1893, above 200-week ema of 1891 and below the 50 day ema of 1893. The weekly and monthly charts are still bullish. The daily chart is a little bearish. The daily support for Nasdaq is 1880. The resistance for Nasdaq is 1917.

VIX closed the week at 18.98. The next resistance for VIX is 19.6 and the support for VIX is 18.2. VXN closed the week at 29.08. The next resistance for VXN is 30.62 and the support for VXN is 27.5. On Monday, the VIX and VXN might go lower. Since both VIX and VXN are too close to 50 ema, it is still hard to tell whether they would rebound at 50 day ema..

The setup.

Friday?s close tells us that the market might go higher on Monday morning. In order for the market to go higher in the intermediate term, the market has to have follow-through days on the upside on the closing basis. Over the last 11 trading days, the market did not follow through on previous us days. Right now, the market still has down side momentum. A few follow through days with heavy volume might change the momentum.

Right now, it is important to keep options open since the market could go either way in the short term, depending on how the market behaves over the next few trading days. A close on Nasdaq below 1980 is very bearish for the market

Interesting, my Nasdaq (Nasdaq 100) is at 1373.
Which one are they looking at?

Ah they must mean this one: Nasdaq Composite.

I see that the Dow Futures products have moved from the A/C/E platform to E-CBOT today (well actually yesterday) so I have had to reconfigure a few things here.

Sad thing is the E_CBOT is based on LIFFE Connect system so Stops will no longer sit in the Exchange system - as far as I can make out they are held in the brokers system then executed from there as Market trades when the price is reached.


So I am expecting more slipage on fills as I use stops a lot :-( lets hope I'm wrong and also lets hope the Exchange withstands the opening volume.
