Anyone looking at bitcoin, any thoughts,D
Pundits or possible poster mentioned BC (bit coin) could well be a haven for chaos when it comes, not knowing a great deal about it, other than being offered it many years ago when it was in it's infancy,(was invested with pacific continental at the time and they went under with my money, small fry compared to what money some poor investors lost, some lost their life savings, was a sad day) so passed the opportunity up due to my loss and not trusting a single sole, so any info would be welcomed, D

detector! Thank you for starting this thread, this is the best group of traders on all the forums imo, and now we have eyes peering out for any opportunity! Awesome! I plan to learn a great deal here!

There's so much noise out there, you need real traders who care, who are genuine in the quest of learning this whirlwind! All of the ego driven chest beating, put downs, pomposity makes me want to gag at times! I'm always inspired when I see you guys on the forum... ok that's about enough of that mushy talk.

2 points that I'd like to share, from my understanding, instead of the bubbles being in the real-estate, the bubbles are actually in the global stock markets. The second point is I read that the global economy is not doing as bad as all the manufacturing numbers suggest... services are doing really well and from a humanity standpoint, services will dig into manufacturing even moreso. With the backdrop of stimulus, staying on top of these earnings will give us a good gauge of the health of the economy. That's MY naive story, that I've been sticking to!

Thanks again detector and gentlemen/women!

C8H18, WOW and thank you, while I will only take credit for putting my name above the door, the credit goes to those who inspired me, patients in people pays off, I know, Iv'e taught many apprentices whom now carry my knowledge, along with their own to do a very technical hands on job, imagine how proud I am seeing them go from strength to strength, I would only hope this thread can do the same, while trading is a sole pursuit, many eyes can keep the line we follow true, I'm no exception, I via off it too but have found a collective bunch who care to keep us right.
I trade on a technical basis, all I see is the chart, it tells me what I need to know at the time, being opportunist helps, I'm always using this phrase, (today the GBP/USD spiked over 100 points, similar thing on Gold in the past, I never took the Gold at that time but it did come around, same with GU, but did eventually close with a good profit for my time) if it comes quick, take it quick, we all want to join the trend, which is great if you catch it right, sorry to go off topic, so technical, that's me, fundamentals, we have a department that knows their stuff, what they say goes, as with any other input from posters, we need the input so we get a idea what's around the corner, when we have entered a trade, many times the heads up has came, may not have effected the outcome but we never left the fox unattended with the chickens, on guard just in case, we need your input as with others, collectively we can nail this to the floor, we're not giving a strategy here, we have an idea that we and others may learn from, join, and give their thoughts, the thread will only go as far as we're all willing to take it, pleased your aboard and thanks on behalf of us all, D

Today was a big failure for equities, imo. The September assault on the highs appears to have gone bust, at least for now. The remainder of this week could show if this is the case or not.

A 1000 point drop in the Dow during October is a possibility. With some panic included, it could be farther.

YM Dec contract, daily.

Yep, I'm with you there. As someone still very long I'm pretty nervous to see ES south of 2960. I don't think 'the top' is in, but I'm worried about having to sit though another 300pt drop.

Went short on USD CHF here.
Thinking we should see a nice retrace from the current level.

TC, half of the drop has happened today, if you count yesterday, it's completed, well called, D

Li, the GBP rose 100points+ on the news, pleased I took the profit, it fell back pre news but now back up, coming at a time of brexit it will only skew the volatility more, D

Well timed entry DC, maybe we could see some pivots charts although the news has done more of late to short the $, It seems the 200 is resistance for the time being (Daily chart) 4hr has a rising trend line,D

Thanks mate!

I need to work out the best method to use still but I am not the worst trader in the world lol
On that note actually, what 0 cross and 2 line cross indicators do people use at the moment? I am looking for one that is not the standard MT4 ones.

Bought bit coin on a speculative punt and it is purely speculative,D
Hi all, some great posts starting to populate the thread, excellent to see, thought I would put my reason for BC (bit coin) on a pure speculative 50/50 I have the price levelling out, candle wicks from the price spiking and being bought up, all around a flurry of volume, or activity as I like to call it, so it's not exactly a frenzy but the conversation over a post that chaos could be a haven for BC made me speculate, the recent drop in the Dow could be something to come, now it could all go wrong and my analysis out the window but for now, in long and monitoring, good chess all, D

Awaiting eurusd to rebound by some 100pips up.... as my controlling/quality check... The more it closes that gap till maybe the end of this week...
the more confident would I be to place BUY orders on GOLD and SELL on WTI Crude... Note, not due to correlations or anything but due to controlling parameter would be sufficient at that point

For OCTOBER... I would be UP for GOLD, SELL for WTI Crude...
for more exact entries/outs... would have to wait for markets to correct a little, in my book...
You can check my TS/TEs also... which are awaiting for market juices to restore... at least the ones I drive on
Can you afford to take that chance?
