clear triangle showing in the smaller timeframes,about to break in the next couple of minutes,south i hope....

 

[Phil Mibbutz]

three peaks? on what timeframe?

here's what I have on the 5-min

That's on a SB 'tick chart', which can't be trusted. Also showing three spikes over 13000 on the INDU 1m.

At the moment we're in a triangle homing in on 12980: discuss!

 

[jayjay121]

The first peak is always the right direction (normally).. And then following day tends to be a trend reversal

look at the size of the spikes! wow

I think I could show you plenty examples of where that's not the case though...
in fact, I'd say what happens on news, will usually reverse soon after

These kind of triangles can't be trusted... the best ones appear on ever decreasing and very low volume. Because it's so silent without volume, there's quite some energy left for the actual breakout. But in this case, it's just around news.

And it fell apart the instant I typed that...

Yes but we still have support around 12910-12920...
Let's see if it can break that. If it can, than this could be the headfake I talked about a week ago.

Hi FW

no cancel FW, was and am looking for at least a test on the roof @ 780 ish looking for Big down, do not usually play Dow thought I would try the mini ones out for the job they were made for 🙂

but thought it was a special occasion 😛 Expecting the value to have gone on the Ftse by morning, could not believe the mark up 😱 had my din dins at pc the Mrs went nuts

She will be happy when she gets back 🙂

like you say may work out well, was going to dance in and out a few times trying for a good spot to hold from, probably would have F..cked it up worse than my platform

Even more pleased now I've seen what happened when I was posting.😆

 

[firewalker99]

shorted s+p at 1401.8,up a bit from there but hoping to hold for a bit now.

good trade there houdani, it was too risky for me
but it's sure going your way.

any target in mind? I'd take some profits at support around 1387, but don't let me influence you 🙂

I removed it and phoned broker who does not now what the F..ck is going on but as confirmed I am short 1 from 43 🙂

and I am reasonably happy but not as happy as if I had sold multies after the NEWS 😡
