makes sense, thx for clarifying - it seems difficult nowadays to get retests on these short-term momentum moves, even if the trend is strong, seems like as soon as there is momentum, they all pile in, and then all pile out as the momentum thrust is over, i.e. no wiggle room for a retest... on...

Electron - i am wondering why the system did not take the second breakout around 13:45 EST - the momentum looked good too and the trend strengthened even further... - don't know if you limit to just one trade per session perhaps or if you need for the price to come back into the middle of the...

hi NihabaAshi - great thread here - (1) i saw you made a point re. 1 minute charts, that they don't work for you - i use short-term charts mostly, 1 min and tick/tick-range, and lately i have come to realize that some of the entries i am taking off these short term charts often end up being...

thx Amnesiac, useful info.

i said "they don't look right" because i have checked two sources...

what is this site pls? (i don't speak German) - these indications don't look right... - i usually get my quotes outside of the trading hours here http://www.igindex.co.uk/

beautiful poem indeed, thx for posting - all the best with the future trades.

nimrod - thx for the insights, interesting about the ftse, i read about the big squeeze on the t-bonds (was it t-bonds or notes?) back in june but not heard about the ftse - the dax order book for the december contract was thin with only small single digit sizes showing at all levels right at...

how does everyone deal with the adjustments on futures charts/data on rollover days - today is expiration of the dax future and the new contract is 25pts+ above the expiring one - i am adjusting for this difference to get my price level bearings for the day... - somehow this has not been a...

Electron - what do you mean by the statement above? what "accidents"... ? i agree though that yesterday's behavior seemed just very erratic - and perhaps congestion is factor - we have had a hundred point range so far since the beginning of the year, we are sitting pretty close to where we...

again, not sure what you are getting at here - this deal is a standard ipo just like many others done every day - it's standard practice for the underwriter to make a market it the stock they underwrite - it's standard practice for the banks to get paid in shares if the client company has no...

are you saying that the greenshoe exercise has a predictable effect on the stock price? i think that in a deal that starts trading at more than doulbe the offering price, it's clear on day one that it's oversubscribed and the over-allotments are going to be exercised - the over-allotment...

if you have any clue at all about strategy development, pls just take the time to look at the posted trades - the strategy here is obvious as day - all the trade details are posted here, what else is to discuss? - just benefit from learning how a competent trader executes and manages, good luck.

"2 pts in no time"? i thought the wait was rather long! lol :) - well as long as it makes money in the end, patience is key - great work, electron, all the best.

SethArb - xetra IS frankfurt, 80%+ of the frankfurt volume is through xetra, the rest is the floor volume.

thx Electron - makes sense, i look fwd to following your journal, all the best.

what do you mean by "(price) data indicators"? if you mean things like $tick,trin etc., IB offers them for some of the exchanges, including frankfurt, london, paris - look in the product section on their website.

hi Electron - great thread, a few questions: (1) you mention things such as this system is "reliable", "low drawdowns", "8 pts per month" etc. - what are these statements based on pls - how far back have you backtested, have you fwd tested, etc.? - you said you will post performance for the...

good point, thx Geo - this may be then related to how Euronext was set up to operate when it was launched, perhaps taking into account how its constituent exchanges had operated historically.

i am wondering if there is a specific reason why the front month on the CAC40 future is every calendar month rather than every quarter month, like dax,ftse, u.s. index futures etc. - does this have something to do with the financial / fiscal system in France... - i looked around but couldn't...
