[DionysusToast]

First trade.

measured move - first pullback off the news was 8 ticks, next was 9 ticks - sellers jumped in again, so went with.

 

[robster970]

Rock and roll on the news....

 

[robster970]

Loads of longs trapped up at 58 now...

 

[DionysusToast]

btw - got T1 & T2 - got out the last @ b/e but tbh should not have let it run that far up before an exit....

Still - I got to test out my new 'trading accessory'....

Total Nerdware

 

[Pat494]

think we are going down in 70secs

Good call Rob

 

[robster970]

Good call Rob

When it failed to get past 61 I assumed this was going to happen. It really wanted to test and flush out weak hands who had gone long from 52.50 onwards.

btw Pat - I had a 50/50 of getting it right 🙂

Jesus Pedro - what is that contraption - is it a programmable onanismatron?

 

[DionysusToast]

Rob - it's a gamers keypad - been wanting a programmable keypad for years - they used to make them for traders.

You know - button for hit the bid, lift the offer, cancel all, centre DOM etc. etc. etc - works quite well.

 

[robster970]

Need. One. Now.

Where?

 

[DionysusToast]

BTW - FYI....

The correct answer to the question

"Pete, what was Brad Pitts first wife's name?"

is NOT

"Can you stop fncking disturbing me when I am trading"

Women are so touchy.... Jeez...

Where?

Razer Nostromo - Gaming Keypad | Razer Online Store

Damn shop nearly bankrupt me over the weekend.

Because every keyboard needs a CPU & memory meter,customisable keyboard light colours and built in picture viewer/video player. 😆 😆

Gotta love the Razer gear though - that headset is superb too.

Mouse next...

BTW - purpose for visiting shop - get a 'wired' keyboard because the wireless one was a bit iffy.

 

[robster970]

Right, got to do some domestic stuff. Back later.

 

[DionysusToast]

ES seems to have died....

Looking back, I am somewhat gutted I didn't take this fairly obvious (in retrospect) trade.

Two opportunities to take advantage of a very low volume area and I didn't take it. Still, first day back in the saddle after 2 weeks...

 

[Liquid validity]

😆 Good gear the Logitech stuff.
I've got a G13 pad, backlit KB and best is the programeable mouse.
Mouse is great for loads of things, create profiles for basic excel commands (cut copy paste etc.) or just about any other key map you can think of.

If you want a custom KB:

Strange day today.. glad I managed to bag these 5 points early in the day.

Thanks for that DT, now I've got a mouse inferiority complex... mine is one of those tescos own brand 'technika' ones. Think it set me back about 6 quid. Now I have no choice but to buy a glowing green one with too many buttons! 😆
