Hi FF - a couple of months back, fed up with the lack of volatility in FX, I switched to the Dax - aka German SM - its much more friendly time-wise to us Europeans and has some great technical moves . Check my posts and you'll find two Dax threads. Often in the afternoon I switch to either the Dow or the S&P. In both the action usually starts around 8am NY - the old T Bond pit open time - and with data at 8:30 NY that can often start a move. Later, at 9:30 NY the NYSE opens and that's when the real volume comes in and this usually slows around...
Hi FerruFX, like Islander I have switched to indices about 6 months ago due to volatility drying up on FX.
Earlier in around 2000 I traded indices and when fx increased volatility I started to trade FX, now it is back to indices for as long as good volatility is there.
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!

Yes that's the reason I'm now looking at indexes since few weeks. Thank you.

I would not call the es volatile right now. Back in october was the last time it had some huge swings. Now it's back to 10-15pt ranges.

Hi Ferru

I used to read the post of this guy raczefx, he seemed to kill the S&P. He is in commercial but don't think he has anything to sell.

I am honoured that you would subscribe to me but have to warn you that I generally only come to FF for fun. I participate in Chris' corner mainly as it is relaxed in there.
From time to time I will post trading related stuff but not that often. The millipede style approach isn't that exciting for lots of people but I employ it for it's simplistic nature. Unlike yourself I'm a bit of tech dinosaur and currently looking at ways to receive alerts to my mobile phone. If you can offer any advice it would be much appreciated, as I hear from Claudia that your technical know how is abundant.


Cheers

... currently looking at ways to receive alerts to my mobile phone.
Hi Stu,

There's a function now in MT4 which can send a notification (Push) to SmartPhone. You can set the platform accordingly here : Tools > Options > Notifications tab. Of course, the push alert must be coded in the tool (indicator/EA) you are using.

Thank you for your kind comments ...

Hi Ferru, I don't use mt4 unfortunately. My current platform is Tradestation but am happy to use a third party (independant of platform) if you are aware of anything reliable ?

If the EA isn't too complicated, couldn't you have it coded for MT4 & run it on a demo account to get the signals sent to you?

Hi SRT I have no idea but thanks for the suggestion. I have no clue in the use of EA's and coding etc. I'm a real dumb ass when it comes to trade automation

Sorry Ferru for going off topic here

The general bias is still long ... but some nice counter trades on lower timeframes.

Trade ideas: look to buy at 2030 (stop at 2022) Trades at the lowest level in 10 days. Market have a 50% Fibonacci pullback level of 2030 from 1968 to 2092. My profit targets will be 2045 and 2060 Resistance: 2050 / 2060 / 2090 Support: 2040 / 2030 / 2000.

Stopped out short, going long for a quick swing trade targeting resistance, lets see what the NYSE open brings us.

Bull pattern on eminisp500 future .

Yesterday, it went to 1973,75 then up to 2004 . As long as 2004 holds , I think it will go to 1968-1964 , there the strong up to 207x will begin

Since the beginning of the year, the S&P 500 has maintained weekly periodic shifts rallying and plunging almost after every five days of trading. at the moment, the index seems to have found support and resistance zones at 1980-2000 and 2060-2080 respectively. Based on the current level, it appears this week things could head south. But we will have to wait and see especially following last week's jobs numbers.
