Looks like slow and choppy sideways action now, in other words no money to be made from intra-day trading but plenty of money to be lost (the 80%).  Need to find something else to focus on.

 

Back down it goes.

6.6 million new jobless claims in the US quite a bit more than expected, Dax and Dow trying to bounce.

Lost an absolute sh!t-ton on trying to call the bottom on this market.  What a stupid f^cking idiot I am.

you keep saying that but never do anything about it, don't think tops and bottoms, think level to level.

If it were not for hedging I probably would have been shaken out at a  large loss after being caught wrong footed.

But there were opportunities to close out one leg of the hedge then the other in a fairly relaxed manner.

The hardest part is trying not to trade for an entire day or more

yes, over trading will kill your account, need to identify when the time is right which is market dependent rather than being down to you.

Looks like we are still scraping along the weekly pivot in the major UK and US indices. As for direction, I have no idea. Trump's tweets last night provided a lot of support, but the truth always catches up with him.

Probably for another thread, but what did Trump promise to get this oil production cut? 

Happy Friday!

The muted response to 'trillions of dollars of stimulus' is telling, as is the fact that Congress is already planning another stimulus bill immediately after a $2 trillion one got passed.  Big stimulus-fuelled rallies getting sold into.  Seems to be entirely psychological and really quite surreal.  One million infections in a world of seven billion.  People are being infected by FEAR.

Just to show that humans are really herd animals, they all went out last night - not to socialize and meet others (oh heaven forbid) - but to clap for their heroes.  Right.  Any old excuse to get your bagpipes out and have a good blow

Dax and Dow been hugging the daily pivot so far today, NFP at 1:30 but no one is expecting any real surprise there, US market opens at 2:30 but can't really see a major ramp up or down to head into the weekend.

Market looks to have been expecting it,  price having another go at bouncing up off the daily pivot.

Lockdown should be fun this weekend with the MET office predicting 21 degrees for parts of the UK.

[Caseynotes]

Not much kick on the US market open.

Oil and Gold both up on yesterday's close.

Nothing doing.  Hardly any movement.  It's just unbearable
