On a different day with these volumes and positive news from Spain and the US we would be over 1pc up. Someone has put a glass ceiling on the market! ALSI just wont breach 30000!!!

Yah I know what you mean. Separate emotions from trading.... I tried it this time. I was out of the market for two or so weeks then hesitated going with the trend for some time but lost it at about 4pm! Entered in the wrong direction. But thanks for the best wishes anyway.

Also been sitting but entered when she was down and now just hanging. Seems like US and Europe are up nice today so maybe we see support being broken. So far looking like a possibility, buyers are strong!

hey Rams.Check the sp500 futures daily chart.It looks like we trading a ending diagonal with wave 5 up started.Target for sp500 1440 to 1450.Also chech the W formation on the sp500 futures 30 min chart.The W formation started a pullback i think to the neckline before going up again.so probably closing our gap before we also go up to new highs.

i see your formation...what happens this week may give some direction. On daily ALSI/TOP 40 starting august 2010(big picture) and august 2011(smaller picture), I see posssible start of wave 5 up of 3 on both time frames which means , a bigger wave 4 down to come before final wave 5 up to new highs.
