Double topping, or going through?

If it goes through...watch out $750. If it fails...gawd help the NasdAPPL!

Same MO of late...struggling to even get through the M15ema (white) after a new low. Going to try and sit on my hands till around-ish the M15 200ema (yellow) before adding again.

Using (convincing close above) H1 200ema (blue) as my stop means I have one trade locked around +300 and another around +100...one BE and one -30ish. All good in the hood.

Waiting for this to open. Would probably take another stab around 5660ish...unless the hopium is just too much to fight.

Finally FTSE aligning with the rest. Very strong daily reversal formation in the making. 562x is the level to track for momentum....

Just need NFP and weekly roll combo so as long as is in play sit tight and micromanaging ...

Let see how it pans out.

Morning mate.

Very strong move up off the bell there. Looking to put one in around 5656 if it reaches...looks like it has legs. 5674 is my initial entry. May take what is left at BE and look to load at the top. Great movement...love it!

NFP? Big miss == QE3 talk == free money == Indices' hopium-induced surge?

Would still like in on 5656. May cut the lot above 5660 + a couple to protect what I hold, and look to get in from above.

Check close 19/07 (....daily R already tested). ES couldn't made the break yesterday and last S held for NFP so there is no momentum from the US yet...

FTSE is very strangely "leading" the move up the last few days when is the clearest short TA signs and with the poorest FA in any front ... In any case GL, we are trading in heat zone and still need NFP support...

Seems to be the only thing driving anything at this moment!

Definitely a heat zone. Looking for this 5656 fill and tight stops on these lower two just above 5660. For the sake of green...may close my higher one, too and reload a failed top somewhere above.

GL to you, too mate. Appreciate the insights as I get my teeth whet on this one. So far...I like!

Dropped a small long on Gold at 1591 a while ago, too. Sorry...have my hands full here. Nothing large. Will add around 83...tight-ish stops below there.

All I was prepared to give there. Will look for a top, but may just stand aside on this pair for the day. NFP...weekly roll. Sounds like veteran turf...and a veteran I am not on this instrument. Nice run yesterday...may quit while I'm nice and green.

Check FTSE again...decision time before NFP. News coming looking to fade any rejection of swing in M30 until /NFP/NY combo ....ES also entering in very interesting areas for later...

In any case, it took less than a few hours for the bond bastards to test the ECB words. Spanish 10s to highs again ...8% looks around the corner ....

I posted before reading your last post.... well is not easy to trade a daily swing in FTSE with intraday data...in any case, very well done on those shorts...

Cheers sisse!

I'll be back on that horse in no time. Like its flows. I like that it isn't open around the clock like the US indices' futures. Seems the movements are more concentrated.

If we can get 5720 today...or close...I'll LAY down...tight stops.

Sisse,

I was mentioning some time yesterday (I think), that I was getting positive swaps while short the FTSE. Still haven't worked out why. Any comment on that? And is the inverse true if long?
