You got an ex-wife too? Same here, married in Mexico, divorced in Reading. I wanted to get divorced somewhere a little more exotic...

They say you can't be a real retail trader unless you have an ex-wife, some leather trousers and a mid-life crisis.

[scose-no-doubt]

There are about 70k contracts traded around 58 if you think liquidity is important....

July 18th

Asia down (Singapore up marginally)
Europe up

Took a peek up above 1360 yesterday but didn’t get above it overnight.

We’ve had some good opportunities to go back to the lower end of both the short & medium term ranges but we haven’t gone there yet. Looks like we’ll open @ the bottom of the overnight range.

Scenarios
- Move up off the open to take out overnight shorts.
- Possible reversals back down @ 1358.25, 1360.50
- LVNs also above @ 1363.75, 1366.75, 1370 but if it does break through yesterdays highs, I’d expect it to be gunning for 1373. So – will watch these levels but with caution.
- If it does drop, will be looking for it to reverse back up around 1340.

Shorts – 1358.25, 1360.50, 1375
Tentative shorts – 1363.75, 1366.75, 1370
Longs – don’t see anything obvious right now.

9:46 – got thru ONH to 1359.75. Got an iceberg on offer 1359.50 and large sellers coming in Short 1359

9:48 – got T1 – moving T3 to 1353.50

Going to have to stop posting these real time - just took me 3 mins & price is hovering around the entry and I've not been watching it. I suspect it might push thru the high again.
