The expectation of today’s meeting of the Fed dominated the Asian session. In fact, there has been a decrease in the volume and volatility, and most investors adopted a defensive stance, which explains the decrease of some stock exchanges such as the Japanese and Hong Kong.

Dax 9980 - easiest 20 points your going to make all day.
I got 40 on FTSE during the budget speech. I'm not boasting. I'm not a consistent winner, but today was worth a mention. 😀

expected more volatility from fed minutes....
You didn't look at fx or gold much I see.
Stop hit -5. L again 6136.
Closed @6150 now flat.
I think FTSE will bump around 6140 - 150 for a while now. Did you have a few beers last night and gain trading insights? (would like to have gone but wife needs about a month's notice to conduct due diligence on any booze up and I live a couple of hours from London)

Yeah mate I had a couple more beers than I was planning, so yeah it was a good crack 🙂 I met Zak from tiptv and John Walsh (the black cabbie trader) who were both a good laugh, all good to get opinions from real people rather than just faceless nicknames on a forum 😉
Well maybe around 6120 - 130 lol. Should have stayed short from this am but I have put a cheeky L in @6124 lets see if it holds for some pips.
Worth going to meet Zak! I hope he was on form with his acerbic wit. I don't imagine for a moment there were trading "insights" but a good laugh and maybe some self-deprecation to boot.
Closed @6147. Now flat again.

There were actually a few trading insights, I was actually surprised by the number of people who have their own stock/forex trading systems based on Excel with a bit of VBA code thrown into the mix... which is a platform I myself wouldn't touch with a bargepole! I guess it showed to me the commitment of non-coders to try their utmost build a "system" regardless if it was out of their comfort zone or skill-centre or not!
I'd be in the latter category I'm afraid and I don't even use excel😱. For my "system" on FTSE I stick to price levels, PA, watching what's happening on other indices (including oil, USD) and use a couple of indicators (mainly BB and RSI) to give me context to make a trading decision. What is VBA code btw?
Thanks.
