Are you trading 100-1000 contracts via a well known market calls website?

gosh , I wish I had that much money !!! no , just 5-10 contracts DMA feed through Marex.. but everytime I was hitting market the price just kept moving away from me.. so you have to chase it.. which is quite dangerous

Hmm. I tried only ever to use limit orders on DMA but agree that's difficult for some types of scalping.

Looking as though rollover prior to expiry has started already

first the bulls and then later the bears

S&P is mainly all over by tomorrow night

German bunds are also getting a big bid today, related to that as well.

hmm what a change since i left this morning - nice selloff.

Hi DC.. I have 5681 as the potential high today .. and 5442 has come back into play.. does this fit with your DOW 11720 ?? I dont tend to track DOW. I now realise I should.. I look at ES.. but DOW seems to give lots of clues as well

the 720 and 442 would fit very welll indeed

first reversal at 5507 perhaps??

 

[dc2000]

will take half off at 12032 and if FTSE 5495 area will do same

Might go for the Dec 1st low.

 

[Sidekicker]

200ma still in the way at 5630 - am favouring all shorts unless there is a weekly close above there.

On another note, isn't the Xmas rally a bit of a myth?

still time to rally I guess

agreed.. I meant pullback I guess. not reversal..sorry

The S&P and NASDAQ have been held at the 200sma all week. We got a sniff today but i don't think were done yet, i think we will kick around these levels all week.
Monday should set the tone to see out the year.
