FTSE 100 January

it looks like the Dow is also in a C wave of sorts

as I have 2 shorts running at the moment, I intend to close one shortly and let the other run for a while, maybe overnight.
 
not particularly
but the 1 day is now below my stop on the first trade and falling.
and also below a level that may provide resistance if it pulls back

so I am protected to a degree.

C waves are for making money. so unless this is a flash in the pan
the fib beckons
 
true, I would be surprised if we woke up with the 1 day taken out
so I guess worth holding.
 
US up to it's 4.30 tricks again See you tomorrow

i guess you wont be holding the second overnight now:-(
but still good trading on the C. I got in way to late and out
way too early but tomoorws' another day

am still holding but I have cheated a bit by taking a dow hedge.

sb's prices have gone off the chart but futs are only 479

cya
 
lol
I said I wouldnt trade the Dow, but this is fun !

the 1 hr has more than paid for itself tonight .
 
mmmm. the 1 day works a treat on all indices Bonsai but
it's knowing when to trade it and when not to. Want to
let me in on the secret.?

I went for the more safe option of an 87 ukx
short for 5. Dont forget the dow still hasnt closed it's gap today.

See you tomorrow. Off to learn some candle patterns out of Murphy's Book

yes, unforgivable.
:LOL:

It started off as a hedge against my ftse short but in the end
I traded it down as well as up. The signal was there to be taken
and I was using their money.
i.e the lower it went, the less I needed the hedge.

(don't do this at home)
 
very tricky wave count today ?
especially as I lost my data feed for a while yesterday and didnt
catch the high towards the close.
but I have adjusted for that now.

all I can say is that it's my best effort.
comments are always welcome.

ftse now 91/95 which implies a break of resistance and
a break of the 1 day. Both looked unlikely at 16.30.
So, there is always the unexpected to deal with !.

However I won't be surprised if it opens lower than that.

you are right again.It must be used selectively. When to use it is
just one part of my motor bike in pieces on the carpet.

There is no short cut,imo
I learned by printing out my charts every night and studying them
intently and intensely.

But in very simplistic terms, a failure by the market to pull back
through a falling 1 day means the active trend is down.

PS: Pull up a 1 min chart for the last 10/15 days and run both 1 day and 2 day. Can be useful sometimes ! :LOL:

the gap up this morning will probably turn all the indicators up on
my charts, but I notice you have labelled it 3 so you still expecting 4 and 5 of 5of C to come.
 
strong open on the cmc quote market 7 points behind. IF your
chart is correct I guess we should not breach wave 1 which is about 501

there goes the waev 4 theory...new impulse up I guess???

looks impulsive this morning, suggesting the correction's over. Wave overlaps are acceptable on corrective moves, so we need to see a break above 4513 to confirm, but it looks highly likely. Not much of a retrace again, but more than Wall Street allows!

As soon as it fills a gap it leaves another one!
