<danshirley> (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks started the last trading session of 2005 in negative territory, putting the Dow Jones Industrials Average in danger of its first yearly loss since 2002, as a lack of corporate news and economic data kept investor focus trained on the continued inversion of the Treasury yield curve. 09:50

One time Euro went 80+ points AGAINST me in like seconds. I almost died from a heart attack. 15:48

<NihabaAshi> It's best to trade spikers in the first two hours after they open or when they are the most active to avoid trading them when things are calm and they spike for no reason at all.

<szubaark> Super Reverse Niha. Happy New year. Bye. 16:15

<NihabaAshi> Had there been another 15mins in the trading day I would have reversed into a Long at 674.50

By the way...although I didn't see the double or triple top in NQ... 16:16

I did see Bearish candlestick pattern in NQ to prompt my Short entry in ER2.

In fact, I almost took the trade in NQ but I was negative for the day in ER2 and decided to try to get positive in ER2 instead. 16:17

<szubaark> Niha it looks like one of those Oreo things u talked about. I dont know the rules.

<NihabaAshi> Yes...almost. 16:20

I missed most of the trading day and didn't have a feel for that first trade after returning this afternoon. 16:23

Wished I had traded YM instead of ER2.

Glad to have my last trade and last trading day a profitable one. 16:24

Now its time to start working on getting my tax stuff ready for the tax accountant :(

See all next year and have a Happy New Year (safe one). 16:25
