Let's consider myself lucky. The gap from yesterday close and my short @200 were covered. I'll keep going like this for the time being. Couter-trade as long as I can. At some point somthing has to give .

Amost 3995 on ES is huge. Will they retrace then go up in the afternoon? As you say, let's see. My pains are growing

I'm trying to anticipate the next move, always. Unfotunately, as that other quote says, mkt can stay foolish more than I can stay solvent. I guess today will be a small bloodbath for me. I'll have to wait for the squeeze at the open to purge before ...

.5 would be the natural, then .25 after and pause. However, this would be obvious, hence it could not happen.

Yes, this is why it's better to be light or out in front of these reports. I got lucky this time, but could've been a massacre. I reshorted again at 14020.

DAX Futures December 2022

Itching to sell some here. But I'm afraid about the short squeeze on the open with all the shorts that will have to cover. Perhaps I'll wait the first 5-10 minutes.

DAX Futures December 2022

Really. All algo loaded on the same side.

710-720 should hold. Perhaps a small spike above to catch some BO longs. I too have a 705 short in place.

DAX Futures December 2022

We're in a somewhat narrow range for the time being, between 580 and 720 (140-150pts). Let me see if I can keep my 690 average position short for now or if I'll have to work even more. But long or short, it does not matter. It's always buy low and ...

Oh, that's easy. It's because I've been shorting it for the last 3 weeks. But, seriously. Many things. October strong seasonal + mid term elections in the US always have a run-up. Republicans will probably win or increase their stake in both the ...

250 points daily range. Not remarcable actually. It's a sore stick up because it's one directional since this morning.

levels worked perfectly in the morning. Good call

Perhaps it depends on what the final result must be. If they have to buy, they drop prices in advance. When selling, they pump in advance. I.e. they need to make room and bait some fish so there's enough catch.

What a ride. Done my week. Keeping a single FDXS @470 short as a reminder for next week. See you all on Monday.

DAX Futures December 2022

See you on monday Brixen. Seems the afternoon will be volatile.

DAX Futures December 2022

Listened to the conference in real time. The moment Jay said that we're long way from ending the rise and the terminal rate is likely to be higher than anticipated was the moment the market sold off hard and never came back. So, this is all we need ...

DAX Futures December 2022

I guess we'll recover a lot tomorrow morning. Good night Brixen

DAX Futures December 2022

Hello Brixen, I see you didn't take too much vacation yesterday. I myself used the day to read a bunch of overdue papers sitting on my desk for too long, and experiment a couple of long due ideas. It's all stuff related to AI applied to trading that ...

DAX Futures December 2022

Gap closed. Ready to retrace to morning levels. I'm also quite busy for the day. Not sure if I'll trade more or not. But I'll leave some short orders in the market at yesterdays highs and more up from 450 to 600 just in case of fireworks in the US ...

DAX Futures December 2022

Yes, I was watching it realtime too. AAPL recovered but AMZN was really bad. I guess a second prime day told all the story, but I was not expecting the softness in AWS, despite what happened in MSFT. Probably the punishment is too harsh. But, I'll ...
