...but higher low..:

...it wasn't this time...

...later lunch hour breakout - no news... think that's ultra-short-term bullish...

...pre-market consolidation with further establishment of support around 11450, I'd hypothesize...: Nancy, Steve, anything...?

stop hit

Welcome. My first thought after watching was: "that's the reason for the whole Brexit thing..!"

... waiting..

ok - might go long Dax or NDX with similarly tight stop later, if either comes back, and if NKY is lower then. (to be positioned for breakout in either direction - if such happens, then soon moving stop of the leg that's still open closer; targeting small gain. short term trade).

Not improbable I'm missing something (again), but right now don't see why NKY would break above recent resistance around 23375 before US Open. Friday's Don Quarantino move has been more than undone by now. Pelosi sees "some progress" (Sunday, CBS according to Reuters), but for the last eight hours or so US futures sideways - would be unlikely if compromise had been agreed already - hence absence of volatility later would be surprising. 25 points or so NQ opening gap should act at least a bit as "magnet" (and move to close that pull NKY with it).

(closing all trades without guaranteed stops)

good NDX trade - forget about the Dow trade. you had your reasons to close it, if they are usually valid, it was right

thanks: that seems indeed to have worked recently...:

...meanwhile..:

....clearly... when did you see it..?

..at least now I know it doesn't always have to be guaranteed stops - the normal ones worked well even into an a bit volatile close

(I completely got carried a way the last ten minutes - made like 50 trades with stop distance 2... and then 4 with 10 - all hit. stupid, but could be worse, at least small sizes. I need to avoid the last hour or something, when I turn into a slot machine player... 2nd time in an otherwise okay-ish week.)

you were right - why were you short? I expected a bit if a rebound after this underperformance

should hold tonite... stimulus risk till Monday...

where is your stop? above 11400?

long increased

No, I'm not. And for that I have plenty of evidence.

with stimulus deal "pending", I wouldn't wanna go short into the weekend at this level...: (sorry to the fib enthusiast for the rounding...)
