Good day Bracke,Schadenfreude - will confess had to look it up, me get pleasure from shorters getting burnt, naaaah not me, have no issue with anybody throwing their money away!, lol.Trying a small short on Alibaba - thanks Donald!.Good trading to you, long or short.DD

[bracke] 15/11/2016 16:15

To-days gap filled.

Next is at 1385.

[bracke] 15/11/2016 12:56

Good day 2flat

An 'interesting' market is it not?

The experts, analysts, politicians and talking heads who forecast doom if Trump elected have had to quietly do an about turn for the time being.

All we need now is for the FED to increase interest rate and the market to rise!

DOW to reach 19,000 by year end and I would not put 20,000 beyond them.

Keep head down behind the sofa and good luck.

[2flatpack] 15/11/2016 12:35

Sold 80% of my holding as it fell on Friday.
Also got burnt on two shorts URI and HRI.
Have been behind the sofa since, leaving the field to braver men.
Cheers

Good day disco

Schadenfreude does not become you.

Another gap up this morning not yet filled.

The share price is back up to the Upper Parallel.

It would be a little surprising if it stayed at this level until 06 December but AHT does like to surprise.

[discodave4] 14/11/2016 19:29

Sorry for those that have shorts in play.Nasty nasty people, haha only joking.DD

Good day fenners

"that trade would be losing money by now otherwise?"
====================================================

Indeed it would.......just like the other two are! Am I bothered? Nah.

Looking for the share price to give 1450 another try but the GBP:USD can't be ignored.

Today's opening gap up from 1385 is likely to be a common gap so a fill is probable.

The large move up last Wednesday 8th did not cause an opening gap but there was one on URI.

[fenners66] 14/11/2016 17:18

Elite Gurus obviously dont do things by accident , its a sixth sense kicking in , that trade would be losing money by now otherwise?

[bracke] 14/11/2016 14:45

Such skill!!

You obviously have no need of an Elite Guru.

[uppompeii] 14/11/2016 14:26

No, thats for beginners, I read them mid air. .

[bracke] 14/11/2016 10:49

A gap up to-day. My "accident" was lucky but I am watching to add another trade.

uppompeii

Did you 'read' the tea leaves when they landed?

[clarky5150] 12/11/2016 10:02

I will be long again before the results. Think we have more downward action between now and then tho.

[kilgallp] 12/11/2016 09:27

Sold part of my holding on Thursday, and bought them back late yesterday. If I had the courage of my convictions I'd have done the lot!

[uppompeii] 11/11/2016 22:26

I never thought I'd hear bracke say a trade was "an accident" ! I throw my tea leaves up in shock!

[bracke] 11/11/2016 17:40

Good day ian

I was adjusting the stop and put in the wrong figure. I still have a couple of trades running and may add.

clarky is going for 'riches beyond avarice'.

[ianwwwhite] 11/11/2016 16:53

Well done bracke, kept a cool nerve under pressure! Hopefully clarky has done ok too.

Interesting to see which direction AHT takes next week?

[bracke] 11/11/2016 16:18

Covered one trade at 1st fib for 38.29 points......by accident!!!

Will consider another trade depending on share price action.

[bracke] 11/11/2016 16:17

Covered one trade at 1st fib for 38.29 points.

[bracke] 11/11/2016 13:31

Good day clarky

12s'!!! You been reading Great Expectations again?

If it dropped to the ML at 1332 I could afford a very pleasant Christmas rather than Christmas Dinner of beans on toast.......again.

The 2nd quarter results are on 06 December.

[2flatpack] 11/11/2016 09:52

clarky
Before or after results?
cheers

[clarky5150] 10/11/2016 21:55

I am hoping to be visiting the 12s again before Christmas.

[bracke] 10/11/2016 16:50

Ref AHT

That's a good entry point clarky, certainly a lot better then my first.

Depends what you are targeting. First support is 1400. It dropped to that level to-day and was supported. If it breaks below 1400 the first daily fib is at 1387 and the next is at 1356.

If you are going for riches beyond avarice the next fib (50%) and Median Line is at 1332.

[clarky5150] 10/11/2016 16:35

Took a small short just before close on uri and aht.time will tell....

[fenners66] 10/11/2016 14:58

URI racing away again.

[bracke] 10/11/2016 13:43

clarky

Almost but not quite. The US Indices look ready for a drop but....

My first trade was poorly timed...premature entry.
