Sri Lanka into the final of the World Cup cricket with tense win.

Muttiah Muralitharan (the chucker), in the World Cup semi-final v NZ (Black Cats) takes a wicket in his very last over of international cricket in Sri Lanka. Murali finished with 2-42. What a career for Murali the great off spinner. The Black Cats collapsed to be all out for 217.

20110326 Update on Dollar Swiss 15 min...

ICC World Cup cricket uarter final, the Black Cats (New Zealand) pulled off a stunning upset over the Proteeas (South Africa who were the pre tournament favourites) defeating them by 49 runs. Patience and discipline in applying their craft of bowling and fielding enabled the kiwis to bowl out the Proteas for 172. Remarkable considering their own low total of 8/221. Seam bowlers Oram and McCullum were the standout performers, taking 4 and 3 wickets respectively.

Patience and discipline.... it applies to successful trading as well.

20110325 Dollar Swiss, opportunity to scale out...

20110325 15 min Dollar Swiss, long or short swiss futures, take your pick...

Aussies out of the World Cup. A great century by Ricky Ponting, set up a target of 261 to win and the strength and depth of the Indian batting line up proved too good for the defending World Cup champions.

Today's NQ futures rhythm, on the day after a trend day.

Quote from Stanley Kroll, author of Professional Futures Trader book

If these quotations don't sound familiar, either you have just
started trading or you have a very short memory! These nearly
universal quotations express a nearly universal phenomenon-

antidote to this lomrs mentality?
Analyze your markets and lay out your strategy and tactical
moves in privacy. Don't ask anyone': advice—t.hst includes bro-
kerage advisories, market tips. and even well-intentioned floor

if Cargill is buying com, Gill and Duffus is selling cocoa, or
Salomon is buying bonds. You stick to your objective analysis and
market projection based on whichever method or technique has
proven itself viable to you, and you revise that strategy only on
the basis of pragmatic and otflective technical evidence. Such

system, or from your friend the margin clerk, who reminds you
that your position has moved adversely and that your account
has become undermargined. In short, if you do make money in
your trading. stand up and take the accolades. lf you lose money,
you alone take the rap. Obviously, you will need the confidence

20110321 FKLI futures 30 min, staying delineated along the latest uptrend line... MBSB, a strong stock given the 'weakness' recently by the rest of the market. It seems then the leadership stocks will be the laggards, simply because the previously speculated stocks have 'overhang' of stale bulls. than is provided the daily chart view is not of a technical rebound.....

Sunderland 0-2 Liverpool

A great goal by Suarez, means Liverpool closes the gap to Spurs in the race for Euro spots next season.

When you look at richardson, Bardsley in the Suderland side, you can see why Man Utd are not up to Barceloa uaity and beautiful game. Barcelona lets its academy players have the chance to grow and blossom eg Messi, Inesta etc, while Man Utd always import whe they have the young talent showing promise, names like Rossi (Villareal) Pique (Barcelona and World Cup winner with Spain) Not to mention the two above, and then just sells them.

Phil Bardsley

Gerard Pique

Kieran Richardson

Giuseppi Rossi
