Yet more positive comments from Trump on trade with the EU. Should finish the day bullish, if not, certainly by tomorrow and possibly the remainder of the week. Deciding whether to get out around 29,600 or hold...
i have three positions 29200, 29260, 29280... tp: 29400.. if tp hit gonna be equivalent to 3 months salary...

edit one last one 29324..... if tp hit 4 month salary... i believe in crazy hour we will hit it..

Today served as a reminder.

Earlier I said price may touch 29.1k area with a little volatility remaining, I jumped in and low and behold what happens.

It doesn’t matter what story there is, volatility always switches from high to low, low to high.

One person gets a bit of Chinese flu and there you go. Vol is near its limit now and bullishness will resume soon.

My sensibility will come back as well as my old saying ‘never catch a falling knife’.

Doesnt matter too much anyhow, I am sure we are all holding.

Fuck that’s a lot risk re margin call, Monty!

Well... the bottom for the moment is 29,160ish. Hope we don’t drop below. Volatility is thinning out.

Uh, I would lower the risk if I were you...trend is up, no discussion but every trend needs healthy corrections. We might get new ath tomorrow, who knows...but daily looks like it wants little bit lower.
Why does price go lower....to find buyers, that's all...and bulls want discounted prices

Here is what I'm looking, and this is very doable this week...personally would prefer longs around 28900

Market order set to go long around 29000 big round number, with one additional long set above 28900, if it gets that low.
If triggered will build a larger position next week, adding from there if/when in profit.
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!

Market is being a little odd.

It hasn’t responded positively to the US-French tax news. Nor the fact that Brexit has been agreed in parliament which should have been a shot in the arm for equities. That’s a worry.

I mentioned the big injection of puts on the options market previously. Hmm.

29.1k is holding for now. We need trump to send a positive tweet. The market is awaiting news.

{quote} It’s Martin Luther King day (20th Jan) and I thought it’s over now? Market just opened higher from what I can see. I’ve reloaded, not worried about Xmas style thin liquidity. Hope I am not wrong but I expect strong bullishness!
mea culpa. you´re right. holding all longs, again a massive position - and again a deep-pocket game. not worried so far.

no margin call @29.100? so you have increased collateral. wish you luck!

i see. all-in play. can´t criticise cause i´ve done that end of 2019 also, outcome was my biggest win ever and most important: scenario is intact. 28.700 should be deep enough. good luck!
