FX giving me a hard time today, down 15 points overall. Going to leave it for now as I haven't managed to get into the flow of things

Dax cant sustain this rate of climb, it takes us above 10,000 by the end of the day. It must break and then fall.

Long 9872
stop at 9850

Out here at 9902 for +30

Just curious, why short ES with SPY calls? Hedging the trade?

Yes for hedging , but i didn't take them at same time . BTW that's ES cfd .

 

[ZEN archer]

I'll try FDAX short at 9895 (below that local low - double bottom) if it goes there before hitting the last high

 

[postman]

That was a really sh1tty number, and previous month revised Down.

S&P must rally then. :whistling

 

[tar]

Ok cool thx, not criticising btw, was just curious. Hope it works out.

Thanks ...

Bought SPY 195 Jul call 1.35

The Dax buyers are still out in foce at these dizzying levels with ever worse numbers coming from US.
And Draghi is promising stimulus why ? Because the Euro economy is sooo good. I think not.

Mad as a box of frogs.

9908 close on the Dax today.
