DOW

...WS's call about a close below 26500 and then a pump - 3500 points in a bit more than week - now thats a pump!

Really sorry to hear that Libero....
I couldn't believe my eyes seeing FTSE up 5%....
Stay safe....

DOW is on to open with a 1500 point gap

ouch...

Me too!!
short at 26600 kicked in and duly out for 120 pips.....fortunately it was small...and stopped out before the big move up....Luckily i had short gold which more than covered it....so phew....

Sort of move that wipes accounts clean!
Sorry Libero...That's the risks of futures....

I think the the bear phase starts now imvho....WS did say 30,000 possible...
I think down from here imvho....possibly slowly and painfully.....but wdik!

so lets see...

I'm sorry to hear that man. it's a real beast. I've gotten used to accepting that taking a hit is part and parcel of trading, but it still can be very frustrating, so i feel your pain so to speak.

markets are the ultimate reactionaries - imagine if they were put in charge of the "red button" (nukes) - the world would be over several times over.

I'm also on the receiving end of a spanking - had a massive stop on my short as was expecting volatility but ultimately downside.
