Hi Deltaone,

Yes 9480 (the daily pivot) was already my imaginative target, but I will try to trail as much as it gets.. IMO this is just the beginning of strong up move that aims for the 10.000 mark.. I will try to trail SL wisely not to get easily stopped out but even if, no problem since we can always re-enter..

For today price could retrace and go up again but 9495 could be the highest high of today.. not much hope that it will go any higher than that..

I agree Ata-T, 9480/9500 was a target today for a daytrade.

Thanks IronPawn.. today started with a fall of bad numbers but I really don't understand why we moved up even with all these negative image.. but we moved up so I don't bother to see the reason behind it.. there could be so many and economist talking bla bla could be right.. comments of economists is similar to a group of blindfolded men are touching an elephant and trying to describe it.. one who touches its vessel says an elephant is like a snake.. one who touches his ears says an elephant is like a sole fish, one who touches his legs says an elephant is like a stone column.. and each of them is right.. therefore I trade what I see.. it's important to quickly react and not become married with any trade..

Edit: was just stopped out.. so far 28 + 60 = 88 points for today.. wish you all a nice evening.. will check 30 min later if there is a move triggered by the FOMC member Mester, if nothing moves I call it a day..

i am an economist, but i´m also a trader.
it is possible that some of my trading failures arise from my economic thoughts (akademischer starrsinn)

good luck with your long

That's a funny one... We all know what they say about the news... stopped making immediate decisions based on them while ago and by saying this I'm not trying to say that they are not right or irrelevant. Just making some adjustments. Yes, trading what you see is probably the best way to go. Same here. Well, good luck my man...

Thanks bro.. of course some economists know what they do.. but still we shouldn't rely on their comments..

Listening to economists is like having 3 cups of drinks in front of you.. only one is poisoned.. now think you have 10 economistst talking about the glasses.. 7 of them say glass 1 is harmful, 2 say glass 3 is harmful and 1 says glass 2 is the harmful one.. would you ever be brave enough to drink any of the glasses? The logical answer is "no" but every day we say "yes" many times and get poisoned often.. so yes, I luckily quit doing that too
