Not that I'm bored, but... how's everyone's trading today? :)

Bored watching the money roll in. Have to learn to enjoy these days for all the choppy ones.

Ben

Edit: To be more useful,I'm getting out at the Dec 22 low but looking to short again on a bounce.
 
I'd stuck with it for 5 hours which is practically an investment for me!

Now wishing I had kept some open but it is difficult to complain on days like today. Looks like a break lower again now.

Not seen such a big range this year, i was beginning to think we were going back to 60-80 point ranges.

Agreed.

Trouble is I am now 'paralysed' as (a) I've made a decent amount and (b) My head is saying 'it can't go even lower' even though my strategy says it can.

So I'm watching "Countdown":)

5 mins later: Note to self... listen to the strategy!

Alas, I kinda got out of the market so I could get some actual work done, on Friday, my pet option's value is soaring above where I sold.

Important part of course is whether I can do this tomorrow, not how well I did today. Keep telling myself that...

Anyone got any good advice on knowing when to get out of a trade? :-D

Regular Bullish Divergence on 10 and 5 min chart (FTSE Cash)
 
What about the Obama bounce?

IMHO, delusional optimism. Obama isn't going to come in and wave a magic wand, make everything better. He hopefully will start unscrewing the mess the economy is in, but it'll take years/decades, not weeks/months.
