Just a technical tradingday

Four trades today. When I looked at the market this morning I quickly grasped it for today. I intented to enter the market at a certain level. The 4605, the level I had in mind, playing an important role throughout the day. I wanted to trade long when closing above it.

But as so often happens the market initially didn't make this expected move and went south below 4600. See chart. I tried to go with it but never trust the first movement. Trading is about adaptation but this trade went into a loser. The other three trades were winners and traded around 4605.

Internet and trading (part 2)

I am trading at two geografically different places which means I allways have to consider how to keep my data up to date. My data are downloaded and kept on my computer, I use Interactivebrokers and Sierracharts, so I have to make copies and take them with me when trading elsewhere. Since I use Yousendit I don't need these copies to take with me but just I just send them via GMAIL. Quite nice.

But now I found Yahoo! My web. This enables me to bookmark sites, webpages blogs, and so on without bothering about where to hold a copy of them. Now I can retrive them anywhere I want. Of course it surprised me what Yahoo! knows about me.
Is there a privacy point here? Hum, at the moment I can live with it and weighs the advantage for me greater. In fact it is the same story as with mail via outlook or webased like hotmail.

FDAX

Internet and trading

I traded today quitte succesfully but I not without some fear. Just in position Long on the FDAX after US data coming out in afternoon my internet connection colapsed. I use two PC's and two or three screens to trade. What could I do then to restart and to hope I would be fixed. Christ. What went wrong? Some kind of router overload? My ineternet provider having problems? How knows.
When I restarted to whole thing I luckily had connection again, but I closed my position immediately with a few points win. Markets thereafter up again but I have had enough for today.

Nice bottoming yesterday, formation of a morning star, see chart of the S&P500.
