Was a good trade... I often observe buying candles on the hour, half hour, and occasionally on the 10mins - sometimes these are fake moves.

You should have hung on to that one. I had some shorts above 9500 as well. Should have bought more and held on. Green day today but not as good as yesterday.
Around $2K for today so far.

Its near month end and quarter end: I think some Fund Managers buy more shares in their existing stocks to inflate the value of their holdings usually at either month end or quarter end, it gives the effect of making their fund performance look better. I'm not sure if this practice is illegal but read about this kind of activity on a couple of articles, it could be a part of the reason why today (and possibly tomorrow) may rally from the lows of 9300. Just a thought, really not sure if true...
Today could be very tricky due to this. Better wait this day over before doing big trades. Might be better to trade small today to limit losses in the event of big movements in either direction.

Market still looks in downtrend... The dax failed to break the 20sma on 4H (9537.8), almost touched it and has since popped down again.

I am out for now. Do not want to get caught in a spike down or up from here. Could go either way right now. I am pretty sure that some QE funds kicked in this morning when we hit 9300 which pulled it back up. Might be a defense line or part of a purchasing program to bring back some market stability. My guess is we go up from here. DOW could open up flat or green and climb 100 points from there and DAX would go along with it or DOW could open up and retouch lows hit in pre-market futures.

Quite possible re: QE funds. The EURUSD also peaked for the day at approx 1.128 when the Dax hit its low on 9300, the EURUSD has been dropping since then and no surprise the Dax rallied...

Last 50 point drop has been bought back up again so someone bought the dip. Could spike from here to highs for day. If DOW sells off then this follows it but if QE funds buy in American then this goes along with it. A gamble here....

America has got a lot of downward pressure on healthcare stocks, could offset the QE funds. While QE2 would be good for the stock market, I doubt it could stave off the recessionary tendency of the past few months.

Today was another hard day to trade. Discipline is what one needs along with control of greed. Greed is one of my weaknesses but it is getting better day by day.
