Good opening, I was wondering about that myself. Though I would’ve titled it Trading - live tracking, so everyone could put their openings/closings here.

Please also feel free to suggest names! I just picked a name out of a hat that was over 15 characters long (title length requirement) :slight_smile: Of course, users with the “Master” rank can also edit the thread name themselves :smile_cat:

I support the name live tracking :+1:


and I’m boldly opening the game :grin:

Today during the day, I took a Dax short around 9600 (pretty much the day’s highs) as there seemed to be resistance at that level in recent days. Then I added a bit of conviction and bravely left it over the weekend, let’s see how it goes.

Since this got two votes amazingly quickly, the thread name is according to the votes :smile:

I accidentally bought Nokia ring bull shares right before closing, at the bottom of the day, didn’t notice the time.. :smiley: Hope Monday is positive. So, it stayed in my portfolio for the weekend.

You really must have guts to hold shorts over the weekend in this market environment, I wish you luck! I myself haven’t been trading for a while due to matriculation exams, now I’ve been following the markets a bit more closely, but I haven’t taken any entries yet.

Rings had a pretty ugly close, with increasing bear volume :cold_face: Hope you have tight stop-losses!

I also left my Sepe shorts open over the weekend, taken from the 2600 levels a couple of days ago. I felt it had a good risk-reward when it seemed to be hitting a double top. The intention is to hold at least to the 2300-2200 levels, so a longer-term trade.

SPX shorts have been rolling “too long” and got stuck over the weekend.

The first 2700 Knock was taken on Thu 26.3 at 2420, “when unemployment figures cause even a quick dip”. When SPX climbed up to 2600, I took a second batch when it was at 2550, with a 2900 knock.

The idea was the view that 2700 could have been broken momentarily, but sooner or later 2200 will also be broken. Either we go for a double pot or the latter covers the losses of the first.

Both are still open. Today, combined, we were slightly in the green, but I don’t want to leave this game at zero.

Now let’s just hope the oil lords don’t get a deal done :wink:

SPX bear certificates opened last night and added today from the last peak (2520) were closed just before the market closed at 2455. The intention was to go down to 2400, but the danger of an oil deal ultimately led to abandoning it already at 2460.

With 15x leverage, a good 60% return on the latter set, and those bought yesterday also brought in about 25% return.
Into the weekend with 0 stock weight (i.e. fake-short :wink:), but ready to add more if the rally continues on Monday.

How much would that oil raise the sepe (Finnish slang for ‘penis’)? On Friday evening it flowed downwards, which I was following.

14

It would be easy if one could predict that accurately, or at all. Historically, these two (in this case oil / S&P 500) apparently don’t care much about each other.

My own feeling about the current situation is that any positive news amidst all this negative news flow creates a festive mood in the markets, which tends to raise prices in general. In this case, the OPEC deal → promise of a more stable future, at least for oil, even for a moment → sense of security increases → SPX reacts.

I repeat, this is my own baseless feeling.

Yeah, there might be a psychological meaning like that, and the energy sector has already been driven down.

Slightly related to my previous post:

Today, the thought arose to try out certificates / turbos for oil as well, as soon as the market opens tomorrow.

Nordnet’s leveraged products seem to follow the ICE Brent Crude OIL Futures Contract. If you type this into TradingView’s search, it suggests the CL1! ticker first. However, the prospectus for the leveraged products states USD as the currency, so would the correct ticker actually be BRN1!?

Hmm
 certificate or turbo.. :zany_face:

E: Oil turbo follows BRN1. Correct me if I’m wrong. But what on earth, you can only select an annual view for this (from TradingView).. I thought oil was a more actively bought and sold commodity :smiley:

I’m thinking the same thing myself, which Nordnet turbos have you been using to swing trade oil?

18

Oil futures -10% right at open.

S&P 500 futures +1.5% at open.

We’ll see if it’s still worth going bearish on oil when NN Markets opens.

19

Futures are already +3.5%, so it looks like it’s going to be a tough one.

Edit: Well, that was lucky. I had set a stop-win for myself at the 9500 level at the beginning of the trade, and it had even gone there just before the close without me noticing, so the profits triggered :smiley: Is this why we set stop-losses :grin:

Today I can put a new worm on the hook.
Edit 2: Immediately shorted DAX from the open. Last week, when it went over 9950, it usually came down quickly, and last week’s resistance level of about 10070 then caught it, and there’s almost 500 points of upside downwards to last week’s support levels. It also looks like an overbought open, which could indicate a downward drift during the day. Let’s see how it progresses, I need to be alert for oil news if there are any surprises.

BCOUSD is a good ticker for Brent.
