I was enter sell, modify order - trailing stop, enter order, modify order - trailing stop, etc.

At one point I couldn't keep up it was moving so fast. I have to go back and see if my trailed stops were paid out right cause I know broker likes to do gap trick and slip away pips.

If european equities get hit hard today nothing will stop it from going lower.

Although i like the RBA policy of largely staying out of the markets i found these comments very funny:

"Money market operationing as usual"
"No strains evident"

Apparently there are still US investment houses selling rallies, so i'm back to square hoping for a lower figure in europe to build my long

Well if you think thats weird we had an electrician install a new heat lamp/exhaust fan in the bathroom. The first time he came it would turn itself off after 30 seconds. Then the switches would only work occasionally. Then he came back and now its wired up to the same switch the other fan used to be on, so its all lights and fan or nothing, and the other switch only turns on the small light in the new unit... weird...!

I assume thats probably what Wulfie is on about...

AUD/USD 1.0095

Nice ride for both bulls and bears.
Keeping yourself in the game is the key and reducing the position size because of volatility is a must.

Lets see how this evening session goes as many have bitten the bullet.
Im looking for a large retracement possibly back to to 1.0450.
Happy hunting

1.0450? What are you basing that on? Seems optimistic...? no?

Nothing is optimistic in this market.

We saw a 3 big fig movement lower today from the opening.
Surely we can see a 2.5 big fig from it to the upside.
Remember the market has seen nearly a 12 pct fall from the highs in less than a week.

Lets see.. ;-)
