DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

nite all.

Just logged on again.

Judging by the lack of movement for the last hour,
I'd say that the US floor traders knocked off to
watch 'Corry' by satellite link as well. :-)

Melnibone.

evening all. i have been out all afternoon but doesnt seem like i missed much today. tight range as far as i can see on the dow. went long today but none of my limits were triggered.
anyway, i will have them open for tomorrow so hope for an uprising tomorrow, although i dont think we will see much movement until friday after the eagerly awaited news.
nite guys

Hi Javid,

I'm looking more to today for the rise.

News comes out at 1330 prior to the open, so if
the normal trading hours people want to pre-empt
it, they need to be in by close of play today.

Melnibone.

good morning people, im hoping (and expecting) we get a rise today which will take my long into profit. overall i think we will have similar ranges to yesterday but a tad higher.


javid

zarif - is your hotmail inbox full? last email i sent you bounced back.

Dow/S@P still stuck at 10,600/1151 areas.

Intel are giving guidance after the bell, so that may
affect tomorrow's opening. Be careful if you open any
new trades near the close tonight.

Melnibone.

Hi everybody:
Javaid just cleared the rubbish out from mail box.Await your email.

10560 seems to be important to the DOW.

I've just had a look at snoball's DOW CHART
on the link at the top of this thread and I can see why.

Should have looked before, snoball has it covered.

Melnibone.

Support (10560) is the two day moving average of the lows, Melnibone.
Correction, it is yesterday's 2 day ma of the lows.

ok, i think i have had enough boredom waiting for the dow to do something!
dont forget the news tomorrow at 1.30 gmt - that will set the tone for for the day i guess.
nite guys.

javid

the day we have all been waiting for!
seeing as the economists and analysts have got it wrong the last couple of times, i wonder if their current forecast will be correct. if it comes in lower then guess we may head down across the board.

US numbers not good (well good for us) The short from yesterday is doilng brilliantly.EuroDoll and Cable Longs -fantastic !!!!Going with the flow -lets see what happens after the open.

I hope you closed that short, zarif.

Hmmm....I thought I smelt a (Federal) rat....but apparently not....The Men in Black

Snoball -closed the short in good proit and then took a long which just cloed earlier in good stead.Just looking atm.

The S&P chart looks like the Dow today.

i closed my two longs but opened a short at 10500 april. i am confused after watching the massive rise earlier today and wonder if we are likely to get below 10500 on the dow in the near term. any ideas people? anyone have an expalantion as to why we saw a massive increase in all three markets after such appaling news?

Hi all,

Just logged on after spending the day shopping with
Mrs. Melnibone.

I see I've missed all the fun. I think you would have to
have been pretty quick and smart with a reliable connection
to have traded that little lot.
If your platform went down and the phone got permanently
engaged you would have been losing money as fast as you made it.

Javid, I think what you saw was pure trading. Bears taking profits
after the open and being chased up by Bulls. Bulls then took profits
whilst being chased down by Bears. Stops would have been going
off all over the place which would have added to the volatility
and exaggerated the moves.

Everyone will be wary now and matters should settle down a bit
as some protect their profits and others lick their wounds.
Don't ask me where it's going. Haven't got a clue.

My SKP longs seem to have sat bemused on the sidelines and then
crept up a couple of %. So I'm happy.:-) Should help to offset
Mrs. Melnibone's shopping.;-)

Melnibone.

Another X just gone on the PnF chart.

So what are we looking at?

A new leg up or a Bull Trap?

Any views?
