Todays post here

Closed out the long FTSE for +10 before the open this morning.  I decided it was only a 50:50.

Running other longs with stops brought up.

Bulls hanging on pretty well Cowboy!

Shorted the Dax 13302

Ended up taking half at +20 and rest stopped at breakeven

Another failure at 7790-800.. can't be long now before 7760 goes but might only be good for 30-50 points before the next bounce. Crypto collapsing let's see if that upsets the apple cart

I am still looking where was that 13302 you shorted from: around 8am (it never reached that price at that time) or later?

I had some longs and shorts throughout the day.

Eh? Hit at 09:50ish. Nice fib line there so got a fairly good reaction initially. I had actually set the order at 7am, so it was a shame that it only rose to 13297 at 08:10 and then dropped down to the 13205 level

A, I see, you squeezed into that little one (drop), I get it, I thought I missed something myself, I tried shorts 13322-350 but still lost morning profits which I recovered half on the long 13326-40 later. I seem to be struggling at the moment to get a decent one way trade.
