And Another Twang Moment For The Broken Market
It seemed as Rajoy and Monti let us all down, so something 'snapped'. EURUSD cracked lower and Spanish and Italian bonds re-accelerated lower but most critically an anomalously large volume rip went through S&P 500 e-mini futures (ES). 72,000 contracts traded very suddenly dragging ES down 8pts as it crossed the almighty VWAP line. 65,000 down volume or around $4.4bn notional equivalent wanted out very rapidly.
The dark red line is the VWAP and lower pane shows huge sudden volume spike...

Draghi just followed his goldman root's, he said dont bet against the euro

LOL
oops ... sorry. that was me. but it was just a "coding" problem and it's fixed now, so I only lost a couple of hundred million. no worries.
No one cares when its a low volume melt up.
Yep, theres only ever a 'problem' in markets when they go in the down direction. Markets could go up 10% in the next hour and it would only be a mass celebration.
Anyone know what time the ppt takes lunch?
Well in a culture where individual value is constantly degraded it makes sense that those with the control of the means and methods of production would want to sell the idea that owning some "stock" in the major corporate bodies of our country is "valuable", no matter how small or intagible that "ownership" may be.
and yet gasoline etf UGA is up 2+ % today and soon pressing all time highs on lack of printing disapointment... aint that a bitch.
regardless of the "market" people still need to go places and get shit done, imagine that.
Yep! People always got to go buy iGadgets and those 5 gallon buckets of Cheezy Poofs at Walmart....the consumin' must go ON!
I miss cheetos. Can't get them in Britain. I'll trade them for silver some day.
Well if you've seen cheetos in a Brits teeth you'd know why...
speaking of broken how about the RIN/ethanol market??

i will GLOAT and i
don't give a rat's behind what STUPID DAYTRADER'S think = they live in a 1 minute sphere...= don't know how to SHORT PEAKS and COVER SHORTS on major dumps... = NOT MY PROBLEM !!
they are STUPID PERFORMANCE CHASERS = NOT MY PROBLEM !!
"i will GLOAT"
I'm having trouble recalling a single, truly successful investor who has ever uttered those words. I'm sure that you're an exception, though.
This time he's different?
Yea, sure you did....You say SPX 1,300 next week. Come back next week and tell us if you were right.
Another dentist wannabe trader
My dentist is a real estate "investor." LOL
i've been at the casino since 2000 !!
i know how to short peaks and cover on major dumps...b4 dead cat bounces.
spx, EUR, commodities. it was somewhat painful my friend at the BEGINNING..= following the MAINSTREAM'S MEDIA'S "PRICELESS" advice = performance chasing..
If I were to bet, my guess is that you'll be destroyed after catching a falling knife. You called a 1630 top last Friday. Woop dee doo. You're like a chain smoking jump suit wearing retiree bragging about winning money on the slots last Friday. Since you're such a class act, my advice is to keep playing because you clearly can't lose.
i have provided link
to PROVE i called the TOP of gold last Fri @ 1630...i ALSO called the TOP of gold @ 1900 in sept. 2011 = when marc faber was saying: "DON'T PANIC" when dropping to 1850 !! i called the MAJOR TOP of gold @ 1900 ALL ON MY OWN. THEN on vet's day 2011 the crank-a-holic cramer (cnbc) said to buy gold @ 1800 = short more !!
i also called the TOP of silver in april 2011..the shoe shine boy cramer (cnbc) was saying to buy silver @ $45....i called the top @ $49....TOP = $50.
any questions?? LOL !!
While everyone else downvotes you, I upvote you out of pity. You must either be really lonely to feel the need to come on here and yell "look at me everybody!!!", or must not have received enough attention as a child.
I find it odd that a grown ass man still feels the need to receive adulation from a group of anonymous commenters.
It appears you have a good grasp on investing in the markets, now how about you buy a few self help books and work through whatever it is that is holding you back from inner peace.
ROFLMAO !!
yes the inner child in me needs attention..LOL !! ok time to go to chuck e cheese !!! no worries, its 0930 PST here in CA. Got my swing shift at my regular job = my chosen career = a REAL CAREER, not a "massage your money and take a CUT job" = WS
swing shift begins shortly after casino closes in CA @ 1300 = 1600 EST.
anyways got a diaper to change...NOT MINE..but my 15 month's old daughter. SHE is the one that needs attention...ROFLMAO !!!
CA is on daylight time.Do you show up an hour early everyday?
Holding BAC Oct. puts @ 7 and I wasn't gloating Monday and now I am keeping the smiles to myself, bad Karma public gloating.
then knock yourself out cowboy. we all enjoy watching people make fools of themselves.
thanks for the laughs.
Whenever I get lucky with a double digit bagger I find it's best to treat one's awesomeness to a $200k bottle of bubbly at the local swankity retro bar and earn some friends for a few hours. The music is too loud so it's hard to hear what anyone is saying, but at least they KNOW I'M DA SHIT YO!!!
...And this too shall pass.
DITH - the only thing you've convinced everyone of is that a) you're a prick that thinks too highly of himself and b) you owe all your current gains (assuming you cash them in) to ZH....if you have made such "incredibly insightful" moves and reaped the rewards with large gains, you should be one of ZH's top five contributors.........
BW
a trading blog log and a link will suffice.
What??? You don't think cutting and pasting it in every thread is a public service?
Personally, I believe anyone who has any "money" sitting in a margin account doesn't truly understand that it's now JPM's money that they use against you to clear out the stops.
He may have numbers in an account, but he'll never make it to the exits in order to realize its purchasing power. Although they may let him have enough to pay taxes on the "gains."
Enjoy your gambling, but do tell us how you will get out of a trade before the bots crash the stock, you know before 2 milliseconds are up...
Better hope they don't break out the fantasecond device again. It's really hard to compete against trades that happen in advance of the quote.
Or is that the challenge that makes it all worthwhile?
all THOSE thumbdowns = jealous stupid daytraders !!
LOL !!!
at peaks when i short = i get lots of thumbs down from bulls
at major dumps when i announce i'm covering = thumbs downs from bears
thank you SHOE SHINE BOYZ !!
Works great - until it doesn't.
This is the voice of experience speaking. I once thought I was invisible and bulletproof. Humble pie taste like shit, and I have had my fill of it.
Experience = when you don't get what you thought you were going to get...you get experience instead. Good luck, cowboy doc.
I don't trade. You just sound like a prick.
You didn't call shit in gold.
"has gold peaked @ 1630?"
7.1 for Spain and -0.097 for German 2;
This market should be giving back all the Draghi drug and more.
EUR/USD now back to where it was prior to the Mario miracle announcement.
I expect another "miracle announcement" at 1.18

draghi to CRANK-A-HOLIC "market"
HERE IS UR ESCARGO, MONSIEUR...ROFLMAO !!! = it only has 1 FINGER.....LOL !!
Just a little hit Mr Draghi. Anything sir.....
Before you go full-blown crackhead on us, what is your next trade? That is if you care to disclose ahead of time. I trade only five options on the Dow only at the money and only those with volume no less than one month out. That's my risk level. My average hold time one week and I follow the trend of the SP 500 50 dma on the sign. A nickel there and dime there X 30k is a nice return off the big boys hide. Greed kills capital, whenever I think I never make mistakes I take a vacation ha! So tell us what stats you use?
Margin calls bitchez!
Plans for plans of future plans, Check!
Disappointing speeches, Check!
Bloomberg headlines proclaiming the exact opposite of what the speech said, Check!
Coordinated perfectly timed buys to prevent market selloff, Check!
The market should be down over 3%. Instead it isn't even down 1%. WAY TO GO PPT!!! You earned your ridiculous salaries today.
And don't forget factory orders tanked...Check.
We will be forced soon to buy all our public debt (italian newspapers already write that)
We will do it but then i want say good bye germany and euro.
caspita! E' la verita'.
Just the Knight guys working on their software...no worries here...
What % is $4.4B notional in relation to the total at that moment?
Why would anybody want to get out of this market?
Did you by any chance mean "any-BOT-y" want out of this market?
... can I Facebook friend a BOT? ...
LOOK OUT BELOW!
cue 3:45pm WSJ leak from the FED ...
my Q is who absorbed the $4.4 billion on the other side of the trade(s)?
Benjamin Bernake
... that's MR. B.S. Bernake to you ...
From what I have read on the limited details, the order went to market price instead of limit so smaller trades would have been the catch all at much lower prices? That is the only logical thing I can come up with. Otherwise the Organic People would have had time to stop the bulge in over sized trades with wrong signs?
FACT 3:- AND FROM HERE ON FB UP TO $30 A PIECE TOGETHER WITH GOLD AT $1,650 BEFORE WEEKLY CLOSED
O.K., so who didn't realize the promises were hollow, and didn't get the pre-market memo that Draghi had nothing up his sleeve but a promise of a plan for a plan?
Draghi doing his best Princess Leia impersonation: "Help us Obi Ben Keynesnanke, you're our only hope."
Surreal! Nothing more to say. And humans "invest" in this market.
No melding into the markets by central bankers is negative for gold which loves central planners it seems.
Either that or the gold = euro trade is back on.
The whole thing is completely fucked up. Let it blow and start over with new smart honest people (bye bye Goldman).
For a moment I thought I was looking at gold making one of it's daily waterfall declines! no manipulation there folks, it's just risk on/risk off flight to saftey in paper, move along now.
Evil Mario shows US Ts 10 yrs to 1.48%. Bernanke doesn't need to do QE3 or Twist, Evil Mario did it for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
http://confoundedinterest.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/ecb-follows-feds-lead-how-about-no-but-maybe-later/
US debt/GDP is 103%, and this has the dollar up because Europe might be worse and everyone is focused on what the bankers are saying. But this is a logical fallacy: If A then not B is not sound logic because what if both the euro and the dollar are not viable currencies? What if no fiat currency is?
People are not focused on such things like fiat currency has no intrinsic value, and it does not store wealth. It is also constantly losing to inflation due to the increasing supply of currency provided by the Central Banks.
Yet day traders, in their infinate wisdom, hang on every thread that Bernanke and Draghi give them, instead of focusing on facts.
If you knew the mountain by your town was going to errupt, would you stick around selling pots? No. You would leave.
So why is anyone still chasing paper?
they must have transplanted the wrong brain into it as seen here

Big volume on rapid declines. Not a sign of strength.
http://bullandbearmash.com/chart/dow-jones-industrial-average-daily-augu...
Dow should close well below support today.
What is the next support level if I can ask?
Found my own answer. It is 1344 on the S&P.
run forest run
It's the algos in control anyway, so who cares what mario says?
Can you really make a simple buy and sell these days without being intercepted by the algos?
So who's (or what) the one doing the selling?
And later on who's (or what) the one that will do the buying later?
It's all the same the big deficits are US 16 trill Japan 12 trill and UK
All require constant central bank buying to survive ( literally occurring
on a daily basis to stop ( Japan deflation ). US ( unemployment ) ie
they will say anything than the truth ( ie that it's to support govt borrowing).
The last think they or the Germans want is for Spain or Italy to receive
central bank support as it will lead to funds flowing away from them ( ie higher rates) so again US divide conquer strategy worked
( US rates down with no QE) poor periferial suffer . Someone had to
Pay for US 1.3 trill deficit ( ie one year of US deficit is larger than
all Spain outstanding debt)..
FB about to go sub $20?
Who is the woman yelling at me on tv that is not either my wife or my cat? She is blaming computer error on human error. I will have my bot roto dial her for six hours tonight.
