this ISM news may have prompted the BP shorts to cash in their profits

[DaddyJohn]

hey sd, have a look at gbp/usd

good spot, dollar strengthens, sharp move in US 10year US curve steepens.

seems a lot of traders not following this blog and may have been short, they should be punished but not too severely

dow hitting 13300 will be triple hit on that level, which means if we cross it we go to 13,900

 

[DaddyJohn]

Go dow go !!!!!!!!!!

 

[DaddyJohn]

Watch out for the stop firework display .. Ping. Kapow.. Boom

No offence to anyone who trades it but, this has to be one of the most difficult markets, in the world, to trade.

If you want to get involved in equity indices, why not choose the Dax, Dow, S&P or, Russell2K? All of these will generate more momentum trades, in a day, than the FTSE will in a typical week.

Whats the logic SD? my target figure is based on 89% retracement... could go higher I know , but would like to know how you get 13900..cheers

I agree -- I moved away from FTSE to DAX and have never looked back -- so many more opportunities

that must have been one hell of an ISM/PMI number

I merely measure the drop in the market after it first hit 13297, and add it to the 13297 level

Wow typing the answer made me realise, is the 13,297 a neckline on a massive inverse head and shoulders?
