US opens in 13 minutes, look at the top left of THIS page - you will see expandable links to all markets (I think AK4 pointed that out a few days back).

I'm back to even from yesterday's little drawdown.
I hear you there PT..

that last spike cleaned up a couple shorts that were underwater for a couple pips each. now the winners are making hay instead of carrying their dead buddies.

I really hate drawdowns, but it always reminds me just how inconsequential we are in this thing. long as I'm in the trend i can at least go to sleep for a few.

1hr QQE about to cross down on GY so that should help speed things along. Let the fun//pain begin.

Is my understanding right that if the price has spiked down it has taken out lots of stops from current long trades. Once these trades have been stopped out it would then look to continue up without these people being on board?

I don't know how this is going to sound to some of you.

Yesterday's close correlation with the stock market put some serious questions in my head that I won't get into because this is not the place to write a book. Correlations obviously change with time but yesterday seemed a bit unique to me for many reasons. Upon seeing the overnight range the questions are now screaming at me.

I am spending my morning before the US Stock Market Open working on stock indices and applying the standard lines we all use to those charts. When equations are being rebalanced I want to understand for myself with my own conclusions how best the small trader can benefit.

bbc.co.uk website (news)

The eurozone has officially slipped into recession after EU figures showed that the economy shrank by 0.2% in the third quarter.

I know we all knew this already.......

I like the comment made on the news by the trader from Barclays saying this is just the start.... they expect a further 1% European GDP reduction in 2009.

It is almost worth opening a 0.01 lot and shorting it for 6 months.

Much of the optimism has evaporated as Germany (the money mangers in the EU) is dependant on auto sales and they aren't selling.

In the UK about 60% of our production is to European export and that is falling as well.Still least my mortgage is now under £300.00, now if only my credit card bill would start to fall as well.........

Which spike... did I miss it?

Tapping alone that pivot line..... if it gets through it may collapse.

cool, hope you share some sort of thoughts tho, if not here, than say where. I'd be interested in your musings.

I said last nite in mid asia tho, that i'm not going to believe anything that happens in the next 2 sessions, until the close today and end of NY on Monday at the soonest.

The only thing I'm really watching today is if 139 retest on GY happens (and the GU level as well), and if so, does it hold? the next step is a good ways down there...

I don't want to lecture you, but it sounds like you had too high of a percentage of your account at risk at one time. Yes?

area 2630-2620 may be hard to break
The best thing that can happen to you is to find out where you're wrong.

I am no professional, but I have seen the phrase 'stop-loss' hunting many times on this board.


I dont even know that it means, but maybe it happened to you.


Can someone explain the term to me?

Cobra and other Ichimoku/THV users, and anyone else that's into S&R (watch yourself!),

I'm not sure what all you have in your THV template, but I have added the Support and Resistance indicator to my set-up. It was just good for 50+ PIPs on the down move thru 2666 support. I did not get all of those because I had TSL set at 15. When it whipsawed up, I got caught for only 10, but nevertheless an effective strategy. Since I entered 4 PIPs south of support, I only used 15 Stop Loss also.

Support and Resistance trading can be just as effective as Fibs.
Up or down, gimme a ticket

Everybody has some bad luck and gets greedy from time to time. But if you practice good money management (2-5% maximum risked at one time) you can recover more easily. Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know.
