what is the significance of it?

what is the significance of it?

no deep significance. for instance when the ftse was at 5737 minus 27, this was equivalent to dow being unchanged,

so today i shorted dow via ftse when it showed dow +50 and closed ftse when it implied dow minus 40ish

significance is that it gives a line in the sand from which to trade around, bit like the buy/sell triggers

RIO down 3.3% making 4 mth lows (economically sensitive maybe warning about chinese hard landing)

RIO downswing gaining some brutal momentum down 3.6% now, considering shorting ftse

Dax hit my price... Been on my chart for three days... But expecting maybe another push down

yes im for a quick reversal then back up ....but i can easy change my mind

 

[SuddenDeath]

anyone ever thought about using GBPUSD to hedge their ftse/dow positions ?

back up would make for some heavy lifting, BP needs to reverse 1.3% and BLT/RIO got to go up 2%/2.8% can it be done? need a lot of help from GBPUSD

Noitce today GBPUSD double bottomed almost in the same 5 minute as the ftse made its low.
