it opened one hour earlier because of the daylight savings time.. people buy more because they were uncertained of the fomc outcome later in the day

oh thankyou, a trap for young players on the other side of the world, I thought daylight savings started later as it does here.

Maybe it'll be enough to invalidate the HNS? I'm waiting by all means to clear previous highs around 1838 or 1850+ before going long again.

You are right, it does start later here in the US. Change will happen on 1st Sunday of November.

Wall Street doesn't open till 45 minutes from now.

Thanks - I thought the starting time was closer to Australia's, and I actually reckon it then opens later, as over our winter Wall St opens 11pm my time, over our summer it's not until 1am as our daylight savings goes in the opposite direction - ugh!!

So that leaves the question of the excitement an hour before opening!!

realjumper, had you read beeb's posts you would see clear backup for his reasonings, you don't need to agree with them or anyone for that matter, yet they are there.

WELL PUT CATH.

What is the big f-ing deal. The price is rising so BUY
WHEN it starts falling for awhile SELL.

Yes it is that simple. (pretty much)

Quoting CathS
Wow kids, let's take it outside!
Can I also say that I don't think it matters if we are in a bubble or not - why not just ride it up using good MM knowing that the ride won't go on forever? And be prepared to ride it down again once the charts and fundamentals direct us to? Is that too simplistic? - maybe I completely misunderstand what a bubble is........

Anyway thanks for the continuing lessons & often entertaining discussions!

(And as an aside, thanks Bemac, for your ongoing wise counsel and for always managing to make me laugh!)...

NEED TO TAKE OUT 1825 test it and move up.

Yet I will be happy with a simple, old fashioned break out.

Update on the GC 20 min fork posted earlier - to my eyes and trading style the lines in parallel with the fork work far better than horizontals as supports and resistances.....

A critique would be that you are drawing a downfork in an uptrending market - there's nothing wrong in that per se if all you are doing is looking for resistances and supports in the general uptrend.

Also you have not gone from a swing high to a swing low to a swing high - there is as much art as science in forks as I have said many times - but take this the right way - technically your fork is somewhat shaky.....

Keep practicing - and it would help if it was more visible....
