as per new thread titile : i personally hope that brits will exit. it is to preserve the traditional 'feel' of English culture there.
internationally n economically, it shd not leave as it will greatly affect fdi and flow of goods and labour.
p/s: i was there for over a decade!

uk already not in the euro currency.

if it leaves the eu, it will be cut off from a lot of "european" things.

and things "european" have close ties to usa.

i think bad news overall if it leaves.

that might prompt others to leave.

and that means the failure of a pan-european dream, a precursor to failures of similar groupings around the globe.

anyone dwti'ed?

went in 74.65.

hope to get a grouper tonight after a couple nights of anchovies.

Despite integration, German and French remain distinct. Dilution of Englishness would from South Asian migrant.

If British exit from Eu, there will be a drastic increase in illegal immigrants, which will be more difficult to administrate than current arrangement. A lack of Polish in the u.k will drive up wages and cost.

This referendum is likely to cause Tory to lose the next g.e.

I'm waiting for XLE to settle down.. maybe re-test high or mid 65 to try re-entry.

i'm also waiting for the price prices of xle-oih-slb to soften further to buy again.

current levels not good enough.



almost time... next 20 min will tell if i should get out of dwti or hold till tmrw.

market looks weak, may fall further...?

VIX above 20.。。。

interesting session ahead... (don't forget russia-slovakia match at 9pm!)

... brexit matters but europe up
... dow futures +40
... fomc meeting ends at 2am
... api last night says +1.2m bbls, iea report tonight
... wti <48

brexit could be a non-event eventually. UK is using pound and not Euro$, how serious can the exit be?

pound sterling will flee to usd, euro and yen bonds, all stocks will fall.

yen bonds -ve, german bonds just went -ve, us bonds next.

pay the banks to keep yr money, nice.

eia report in 15 min.

api says +1.2mil, eia says -933K.

nice for traders... short again!

Crude went green for a short while n still struggling.
Tempted to buy few Uwti while waiting for swiss-romania match ?????

Which us trustable? Lol....

just take it this way - one will say the opposite of the other.

so many times like that... i start to suspect some conspiracy.

Intentional protection of crude prices!

The oil bulls are trying to turn this around after 5 days of pulling back..

XLE bounces off the 50dma yesterday, so I just follow on the long side here to play along.

yep, small +ve news = reason to rally!


fomc statement at 2am - no brainer, rates will be unchanged.

By next week, supposedly Brexit... they'll say it is already priced it.
After the vote, they'll push it up again.

high possibility.

wti gone wild tonight... thanks to api-eia conflicting reports in an already jittery market

Fed leaves rates unchanged, indicates it might only raise once this year


stocks hold gains, but no fierce rally like last couple of times.

wti drifts lower, looking down for a 5th day in a row.

oil sinking....next would be 47. If broken, looking to see 46.20....

current sentiments, good chance.

just 2 more days of decline.

british bookmakers are giving almost the same odds for leaving and not-leaving.
i pro leaving as i wish the british culture n traditions (including the tory gomen) will remain less diluted by foreigners.

busy night ahead...

japan -3%
europe -1%

dow futures -7x.
wti near 47.

and... england play wales 9pm.

Holy moly... brexit came early!

wti <47.

wanna do more dwti, no chance... yet.

XLE finally at 65.xx, opportunity here. Hoping it will crawl back slightly above that 50dma line.

i remembered i saw 64+ sometimes ago.....i can wait n hope it does reach 64+

looks like dow wanna shed 200 pts... wti wants to got 46.20.


ok, gotta go back to watch wales kick england in the 2nd half.

VIX 22....more coming?

may target 43....

45.xx better hold otherwise, we'll see 40.xx.

For some reason, I think WTI likes to move (+)(-)$5 before it decides to pause or change direction.

wow. whar a british game at euro 16.
raheem sterling shd never be in the starting line up. sturridge was totally under played n wrongly sold. he was the only person playing football for this game, with brain, vision, speed and honesty. most were day dreaming!!!!

bummer. i was up and then lost 1/2.

falling for 6 days, losing 10% can only mean the bulls are unwinding long positions big time.

question how much more is there?!

i rememberd you were in at 94+ not long ago !!! congrats

we still have ukraine.

i have been everywhere!

but yes, last few sessions, been dwti'ing.

sold off the last ones just now.

question is what's coming next - down still, reverse or flat?

46.2x has strong support, won't go below so easily, i think.

once broken, 43.

that will be if dow goes -2xx.

turn of the tide?

dow gone green, wti recovers 1%!

Almost green for XLE... gain a $1 here!

so bulls have had enough of brexit crap?

alright, i've just gone uwti at 30.20.

will see tmrw if there be a reversal or fall for a 7th session.



now back to the tv for germany-poland.

46 broken, bingo!

was as low as 45.83.

now 46.55.

still hopeful it'll get to 47 tonight.

oil bull returns?
in fact, whole world's market bullish today, don't know for what reason. Some said because UK murder case on voting thing? give me a break.

i don't think so.... just a rebound after 6 days of decline.

will be tough to cross 47.50 convincingly.

broader market is weak still, tech and healthcare down-down.



got out of uwti.

now go watch croatia-czech match.

be back at 2am, see what happens with rig count report.

Amazing... market down but Oil and XLE is up.. $2 gained for two days. Time to take money off the table for the weekend.
Dunno what's going to happen next week after brexit but good enough for now.

This post has been edited by danmooncake: Jun 18 2016, 12:13 AM

wow...48....

surprisingly strong... dow also recovered.

maybe chance to short next week...

This week.. really interesting move for Oil.
We seen it pulled back all the way from $50.xx to $45.xx then, back to $48.xx by closing.

It's gonna keep us guessing where it wants to move by next week.
either another attempt to break out to $50 again or roll back down.

yes, all big moves in the last 7 sessions.

luck i was, able to ride on all 7, all closed out now.

wti closed 48.10.

next week mon-thu may be even more jittery as brexit vote comes on thu.

busy week ahead!

Brexit poll on 23, will not trade though. But Im biased (dangerous habit) Bremain which, will, set ATH again. Local klci set for double bottom setup also.

Lion king is BULLISH!

Lets see what animal i want to become next week.

wondering how's the bets in online gambling now.

ayam bullish after seeing only 25% exit

Crude is on the rampage again. With dows future sky rocketing wonder how far can crude goes. 50??

extra high risk next 4 days...

brexit polls can go yes-no-yes-no...

tonight... i think bulls will try 50.

how about.. 48.50, uwti.... 49.5, dwti?

Wow. Hitting 50 any any time from now.
What a commodity !!!
Congrats to longers!!!

Yup.. back to $50 again..

Now, let's hope for it to go down one more time...back to $45 after Brexit vote.

wow....bull party today!

wti after rising 2.4% running out of steam...?

i did a uwti earlier.

about to get out - ikan bilis...

strange night ahead...

dow futures +6x.

europe +0.5%

wti...48.72 (jul), 49.19 (aug)... -1.5%.

Look ar that crude. Its now a 1 day up 1 day down syndrome.

ya, goota yo-yo with it every night.

tonight, dwti at 73.20.

wti "should" go to 48.70 later.

Haha i hv stopped dlirting with it atm. Getting sleepy with the boring euro 2016. Hope the germans n the pollish will play more entertaining soccer at midnight.

the poles will make it. the germans too.

but to win bets with asian handicap, that's a diff story.

for that, my money on poland and croatia tonight.

will be staying up tonight.

will be good to get double happiness.

wow, spanish match was among the best after Germany-Ukraine match in round 1.
meanwhile, crude has rebounded quite well and Uwti is green, up 2.0 from day's low.

croatia is fabulous!


crude... api reports big stock draw; eia report will be opposite?

brexit haunting markets again today...?

Hey guys, other than TDA what other US brokers are good and charge less trading fee?

read post #2.

like i said, opposite...

u wonder if the data compilers need to be sacked after so many times like this!

article saying we'll only know the brexit on friday morning....hmm....then tomorrow could be another non-event market?

Get some cash ready.. just in case there are buying opportunities.

We are eager to see the so called -10% to -20% down. But,..hasn't appear yet.

if brexit, i think only -3 to -5%.

bremain, maybe +2%.


but ya, on standby now.

With all these boo haa about Brexit, it is interesting to know some of the pros and cons about it.

Have you guys watch Brexit the movie?
If not, just search on YouTube, Brexit the movie, it's like 70 mins long.. watch this with popcorn and soda while
we wait for the real thing to happen by Friday and see how the market reacts.

been reading a few things about brexit/bremain.

the politicians and biz community wants bremain; common/poorer folks want brexit.

latest polls too close to call.

can see futures and oil price are towards the upside, i.e. investors are banging on bremain.

but we will get a realistic assessment of the risks investors are willing to take towards market opening later.

a couple hours before the vote results are known and towards market close, at 3-4am, we should see major volatility as the stocks, fx and commodities traders will be doing some frantic buying and selling.

even last night, wti went from 50.50 to 48.50, then to 49.50 this morning.

too bad, no euro2016 match to keep me up but still, i will probably stay up until market close.

there should be plenty of opportunities to trade!



i am prepared for a brexit vote. if bremain, never mind.

BREXIT gaining momentum!!

Bears can smell blood...

brexit it is.

seeing the movements since last night, the markets were probably too upbeat and overly eager to push everything higher for bremain.

so, the correction tonight and next week may be severe.

get your cash ready.



dow futures -700.

wti -6% at 47.



lesson - markets can get it wrong!

i thought this is interesting...

wow....exit!

Guess those SPY puts I bought were a good decision in the end.

Bought and sold some BARC this morning (LSE) , quick in and out (well, about an hour)

nice!

i will collect my crude short profits tonight.

blood is so not enough.
where are bears hiding?? hesitate?

they'll come... 2am, i say.

get popcorn ready then.

thinking of buying google/alphabet c today...?

See... big gap down is a huge buy (or cover), even for intraday trade, it will be profitable.
