	I think we're there or thereabouts, but because of cable I'm more inclined to short dax. I think we'll bounce around Monday then have a few red days, in anticipation of the budget here and general profit taking across the indices... More \| View thread (2) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up

	Hi folks, I dont't like the return of the Greek banking kebab story again, after we thought the EU had it sorted. Looks like a bear next week if they don't get their act together over the weekend.

	Congrats on the good week. For what it's worth, you come across as a good trader. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what your strategy or opinion is in this game, all that matters is whether or not you make money, and from following your posted trades this week I'd say you make plenty of that. Strangely, in the world of the financial markets, you can be right and still lose money, so it's the making of it that counts. Your swing trading strategy isn't a lot different from mine when I started out... it seems you go mostly by feel, almost as if you can sense resistance and support levels by watching the markets constantly. I used to trade using 5 minute charts in basically the same way. The only difference being that I got burned badly when an eventual lack of discipline led to a substantial loss of capital, hence the strictness of my strategy these days and my preference of greater risk/reward ratios. Large risk/reward ratios are few and far between in short time frames, but if you can make it work then good on you... it just means you need to be right more often. What annoys me sometimes is seeing people repeatedly making the same mistakes and not learning from them, i.e., shorting highs. However, I realise that just because your opinion is that the market should be falling doesn't necessarily mean that you have a position in the market to that effect. Infact I realise now that this probably isn't the case with you at all. Anyway, have a good weekend and enjoy your profits. More \| View thread (1) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up

	from bloomberg The S&P 500 climbed to the highest level since September 2008 on March 17. This week’s rally brought the surge from a 12- year low last March to 72 percent after governments and central banks around the world maintained low interest rates and committed more than $12 trillion to stimulate the economy.

	Don't rely on the past as a foolproof indicator for the future. It's called inductive reasoning (I'm a philosophy lecturer by trade). We all do it. Every time we get out of bed in the morning we assume the past will resemble the future. But there's no logical contradiction in the opposite occurring, and in trading, what happened last monday is rarely a good indicator of what will happen next monday. A lot's changed in a week. Good luck though. Just have your stops in the right place. More \| View thread (6) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up
