We've got the whole bundle of EU and Ger PMIs coming out tomorrow morning should be interesting, all are forecast to come in higher than last month's data and also all last month's data has since been revised higher.

Since the Reuters report yesterday claiming no deal possible this year US have stated negotiations for phase one completion continue. Looking at the charts you can see why Trump is in no hurry as the China 50 looks more like the Ftse than Dow.

Overnight Indices down though Dow currently a green daily candle, Oil and Gold down, USD and Crypto up. Not much on the calendar, Fed and ECB speak throughout the day, US jobs and manu survey at 1:30, US Nat gas storage at 3:30.

Latest 'star witness' Trump impeachment 'evidence' bombshell. Sondland Bombshell - "There was a quid pro quo!!!" Did Trump tell you? "No." Did Pompeo tell you? "No." Did Zelensky tell you? "No." Then how do you know? ... "I just presumed."

Hi, yes IG Group is not listed on the leveraged platforms to prevent any possible accusations of conflict of interest, IG Group is only available on the share dealing platform.

yes well spotted, it was down to the Reuters report on no chance of a trade deal being signed this year that caused the sudden drop and nothing to do with Trump at all as there isn't actually any evidence against him at all, never mind.

yes, I was just looking at the same time frame.

3 years not wasted at all, the whole point is to find a system that works and then use it to build an account, you always want to start small so if it fails you are not wasting too much time or money before moving on to something else. So it's like compounding, starting small just takes a little longer in the early stages but if the system works then it must grow. Many have found that being successful on demo doesn't mean being successful live, in fact it's probably only halfway there. If the system can only work with massive leverage then it's probably not really going to work live for the duration anyway but regardless, there is only one way to find out.

Great going Trev, couple of points, with regards to the Oz low margins be aware that the Australian regulators are currently in the process of bring Oz regulation into line with ESMA, so the low margins won't last much longer and in fact some of their proposals are even tougher the ESMA so there won't be any reason to hold an Oz account in the near future. With regards to starting live and how much capital I would suggest that you need to think in terms of starting over from scratch as you will find live is very different to demo with it's own new problems to deal with. So once again start with low capital and low bet size with a view to building up as you gain experience on the live platform. Best of luck.

So after a break upward yesterday morning was followed by a pullback for the indices with the usual trade dispute back and forward plus an escalation in the Hong Kong protests with a stand off between students and the police plus the US senate getting involved to stir things up. Looking at the Dax and Dow charts there was a 9am break upwards followed by a reversal, some might say that was a stop run but they are usually not much more than 20 points or so, some might say it was an exhaustion bar on the Dax but exhaustion bars are on the end of a run up or run down not 8 days into a flag. Inevitably some will say it's the beginning of end of the world (again) but it looks just like your average pullback to me. Looking at the bottom chart compares 2 different assets with 2 similar looking charts, they should be because one is the Dow index while the other is one of the main Dow constituents, the funny thing is that one of the charts 'the crowd' are perpetually heavy on the short side while in the other they are perpetually heavy on the long side 🤔

Overnight and Indices and Oil down, Bonds and Gold up, USD up, Crypto up. CAD CPI at 1:30pm and the FOMC minutes from the last mtg at 7pm.

Hi, https://www.dailyfx.com/sentiment

still short?

Dax punches it's way up out of the near term bull flag.

ok, wasn't sure what your picture was trying to convey. there will certainly be moves close to the end of each month due to month end flows where risk managers walk around tapping traders on the shoulder and saying 'you're not considering carrying that loser into next month are you' 🙂

Hi, yes it's the same for Mn, Wk and Daily so they are not rolling but each new day/week/Mn uses the OHLC data from the previous day, week & Mn.

Dow back up to yesterday's high overnight, Dax remains in the bull flag, ASX breaking up through key resistance and Ftse still unsure which direction to go. FT reporting Labour are on the verge of looking for a new leader.

Overnight Indices up, Bonds and Oil down, Gold up at resistance, Crypto down. Chart HK50 up 1.4%. US housing data today at 1:30pm

The spike down in indices in the last hour was the same ol' trade war news, China stating they are less optimistic than the US and feel they have been mislead by recent talks where they felt they had agreement over a rollback of tariffs that the US now say is not the case. After 18 months of this you should be use to it by now.

Hi, see here,

Dow continues onward and upward, Dax hesitant, Fste with election worries and ASX watches China's continued decreasing manufacturing production. S&P weekly chart.

Over the weekend Indices down on Sunday but back up this morning, Gold down, Oil at resistance, Bonds up. Not much on the calendar for today.
