  1. Dow makes the big break and looks now to be eyeing up the January high which is over 600 points away so likely be some bumps on the way. Dax will have the same problem reaching for 12887.

    Hi @JohnWoottonUK & @PandaFace,  Don't know too much about him or this Dow strategy. He does get a hat tip from Bill Bonner who I have followed for years. I was wondering where you found the strategy John and if you have done his 4 day course in the first link below?

    Panda, Eoin Treacy's book Crowd Money could be a contender for your tread on books (2nd link).

    Thanks, I should update too, I mentioned above the free 4 day course which I did signed up for out of interest. Of course there were regular plugs for the subscription service but on the whole it was interesting. It is only 4 half hour lectures where he sets out his general strategy which is quite simple and sound with no tricks and does at least give a few ideas so it was worth the time. Screening for setups was a major factor and this is where the subscription service would do a lot of the 'leg work'.

  3. Trump in the news again and the markets wobble. The Dax , Dow and FTSE appear to have put in a short term base and look to be testing the highs following Nikkei but they are very nervous. 

    The Euro open is suggesting a retest of the lows but will wait for the London open for confirmation as to direction.

  4. All things fraud. Dan Davis interview, former regulatory economist at BoE and author of 'Lying For Money'. 

    http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/2018/08/20/ep-89-dan-davies-lying-for-money/

    We get into the various topics covered in the book including:

    • The concept of the “optimum level of fraud” in and economy ? this sounds counter-intuitive but because both fraud and economic growth depend on trust, there will always be a level of fraud in an advanced economy;
    • The types and characteristics of fraud;
    • The mechanics of different types of fraud, including lots of examples;
    • Rogue traders;
    • Why frauds have a “snowball effect”;
    • The role of primal, human emotions in fraud
    • Much more

    1 hour 10 minutes.

  5. The Dax and FTSE failed to keep step with the Dow yesterday and remain near the lows of their recent ranges while the Dow looks to break out of the top on it's own, the lack of EU and UK follow on is presumably the result of the Turkey situation and the large exposure of Euro banks. With the Dow being a leading index and that link temporarily broken the short term direction for the Dax and FTSE is not clear.

  6. Fair point @Medusa123, the new KOs are still under development and many will be waiting for the proposed 'inner stop loss' before taking them up. As things are at the moment they are a 'knock out' option as opposed to a 'knock in' option ( see the link in the thread 'Options Trading' ) and so the guaranteed stop loss is a long distance from the entry level, you can manually close out at any time but without an added adjustable stop means the trade needs to be closely monitored.

  7. Lack of enthusiasm to have a real go at the 4 hr (yellow) resistance levels in the indices charts, current picture looks like a retest of the 4 hr support levels most likely this morning.

  8. Interesting question Ajg, presumably there is the tax benefits of an options type instrument on a spread betting platform instead of the CFD platform. And having an adjustable stop feature (proposed) on an options intrument. A professional account wouldn't have the negative equity protection.
