Low for the Dow in 1980 was 729.95 and in 1982 it was 769.98 so not sure where 777 comes from?

Edit: Moot point since markets are blowing right through it anyway.

Absinthe, eh? You ever drink that stuff? I mean the real stuff. Very interesting. Gave me the biggest headache I've ever had in my life. And I'm a Slavic type - LOL! That stuff runs in my veins, heheh...

By the by there are gonna be a lot of very depressed people tonight if Mr. DOW doesn't get his ass above 7882 by the close. That's a magic line in the sand for many Wall Street Phubahs...
The Thieves of Wall Street should all be corraled into prison....hedge funds and hedge fund departments first! These %#@* people have naked shorted stocks to the bottom, and so far not even covering, churning their naked shorts as they go....so new shorting they buy up themselves to "cover" deliveries due....and lowering the price as they go! They are all hoping the companies will go bankrupt as a result of this MASSIVE MULTI-HUNDRED BILLION DOLLOR RIP-OFF of the real shareholders! And if they are allowed to succeed (SEC is a joke!), they will get many companies shares to less than 1 cent....officially bankrupt.....AND NEVER HAVE TO COVER A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE OUTSTANDING NAKED SHORT SHARES they are using over and over to drive the prices down!

This is LEGALIZED THIEVERY......and the SEC is in league with them and they are all laughing at the real shareholders from whom they are stealing. And they are ruining the economy here and abroad.....and don't give a shit because they are making hundreds of billions of dollars in this massive rip-off.

And they are politically pushing for the government to NOT bail the companies out......THEY WANT THEM TO GO BANKRUPT SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO COVER!

You may be right. I was thinking about that too. Perhaps when the market has big recovery day, we will go the other direction. We still may see much volatility in both directions, in the coming weeks and months.

Sorry I should have clarified that it was on the GY/EJ yen pairs... (from an earlier post this am...) didn't trade eu today, when it turned on me and i barely got out with 5 pips, that was it...

killer yen day tho, just under 450 pips on fixed TP closed trades not including scale outs which were just over 300, but still running, so they don't count till closed (at least I don't count them)

Amost wish I'd been home, but sometimes micro-management is worse... (the old I'm my own worst problem syndrome)

gotta take off again for a bit. back for mid asia hopefully. ya'll be careful... asia might sucker punch us all, but they may not have any kung fu left either...

if the stock market does not rally in this last hour of trading....i will have officially lost faith in the american economy...this statement comes from one of the most optimistic guys aware of the current global situation...this has nothing to do with my long bias...it has to do with the fact there are no options out there left and the great depression will look like a joke compared to what we are facing....as would be proven with a close below 8000 for a second straight day....

Wait, calm, patience ..
Perhaps you have not lived other global financial crisis, but believe until now has always been so. There are still a few who speak of no confidence.
When everyone will have a negative approach, then it's right time.

It can take days, weeks or months, and when the press, television, media in general begin to give some to a catastrophic future. then there is the right time.
For those who have the right timing this could be the opportunity of life. Perhaps from this point of view is wrong to keep much of the day in front of the monitor.
We must remain lucid.

The best thing that can happen to you is to find out where you're wrong.

your totally right...my inexperience speaks for itself as i am only 22 years old. but let me ask you this...for us as day traders or scalpers or however we identify ourselves who need that daily meal profit and rely heavily on technical analysis....how are we supposed to trade considering the only volatility we see is during ny stock market session...the rest of the time everything is on hold and even then....there is no clear direction with nothing but spikes on all time frames and all moves to the downside happen when they are least expected? maybe i should go to gbp/jpy...900pips and a smooth ride down...

Ah, true, when the JPY crosses sell-off that do so very quickly and hardly retrace, but the risk of a short squeeze is much greater than on E/U. They can recover to the long side very quickly.

Daytrading is important but it is much more important to arrive at the right time with the right ammunition (money) and without much on the psychological wounds resulting from heavy losses that this kind of market may cause.
Of course you can change the market but you do not have a guarantee that it will be easier.
I prefer to hold my focus on a single financial instrument and wait for the right moment.
In these situations each of us should do an examination of conscience based on the following question:


The market EURUSD fell from 1.6036 to 1.2329. What percentage have I gained on this drop?


Answer: If the percentage is below 50%, its strategy is highly at risk.

As I say a few weeks ago, I wait for lower valus that from my point of view are in area
1.2270
1.1780
1.1300

Only after i will begin to believe in a concrete possibility of upside.

From this point of view may I be the 21,22,23
