Ashraf that video i watched twice to get my head around it, 'ping raiders' skimming the pips, looking at the S&P chart knowing that summer volumes are low and sentiment is hung we often find a drift up in stocks, could this be a new TA indicator being born here, isn't this 'false liquidity' going to produce high volatility especially to longs caught short ? i admit i just don't know enough about this.

That's a fascinating link ive recently started learning about dark pools, it's getting way too dirty out there!
ive been doing some more number crunching the pe ratio's are just too high for what these companies can deliver , the S&P looks to be forming a doji for the weekend to.

speculator-the S&P and cable this last 2 months have the whole world guessing, ill play this day by day hour by hour, minute by minute, the question i would ask is have we moved sideways far enough to touch back to less steep trend line. i did notice that the MA100 passed through the MA200 the other week and passed through MA252 2 days ago, but the big 1200 is just about to pop out the MA200. That would put the S&P above the MA for a long while, not too sure whether that would have a near term effect of dragging us back down.
I don't know with such volatile movements in the last 12 months how chronically the indicators have been skewed, i think we need a retest and what's more important 'EVERYBODY' wants a retest! what i did notice is the shine came off the GBPUSD today even though the S&P, DOW haven't really moved much, is that a small sign that things are just about to pop??? or is it just profit taking which again wouldn't indicate much confidence in a rally either. just my thoughts.

this week we tested a lower low and is struggling to hold 930, now breached to 934, but we could rally to 1000, in the back of my mind is the fact that intel did ok, theres been a LOT of redundancies a new phenomenon workers accepting pay 'cuts', and unprofitable car manufacturers being beheaded by government, Lehmans could turn out to be the best thing to happen, ive read that M&A have been their busiest for a year, just a thought, but no one seems to wanting to short just yet

a hammer on monday that touched the trend line on GBPUSD and now we are above 164, but looking at it 165 seems a mile away at the current momentum, it could grind it out i suppose. VIX says volatility ahead and USDX signals short , this has to be close to a top right? its just everytime you think its over the trend line is touched and a rally ensues.
