sounds good martys - nice work - good luck with the journal.

martys - good work - i am having a hard time understanding the "logic" behind your trades - you said your approach is reversals - this last trade for example... exactly what is this a reversal of? perhaps i am misinterpreting "reversal" - do you mean you counter a short-term momentum thrust...

e.g. ES Monday - keltner 3/20 settings

why wouldn't a channel, like a bollinger band or keltner work? - e.g. if you have a wide enough channel.. - price hits one end, indicating a top/bottom and then if it rapidly hits the other end (or middle, or lower/upper range.. depending on the width of the channel), that would indicate a...

actually interesting to see that you are going in this direction - of course it's a natural progression to pay more attention to the bigger picture, however, i would have guessed that if you wanted to enhance your short-term trading, a more "valuable" course to pursue immediately would be...

futures71, you are up early today :) i agree, the uptrend on the dax is strong, new multi-year highs... - so although, as noted above, there has been an "unusual" lack of the typical close correlation between the dax and the u.s. indices in the u.s. session in the last few days , i believe...

http://www.igindex.co.uk/ they quote the dax 24 hours

well i'd say the frankfurt close around 17:30 CET indeed looked bullish, going out right on the highs for the day (also multi-year highs)... spreadbetters now quoting the december future around 5130, so a down open likely tomorrow in line with the U.S. close.

also, if this type of a trade becomes a big liquid market of its own standing.. - imagine the kind of "games" people will want to play into the close every day (not just on triple witching).

by the way spreadbetting companies have been offering these types of "binary bets" for some time e.g. http://www.igindex.co.uk/ i assume the spreads they offer on these are so large compared to what you are paying on your instrument that your edge will not be exploitable.

this is excellent material - acrary, man or anyone else: can you pls recommend a book or any other material which will discuss this type of a process more in depth - thx in advance.

thx kiwi - i have gone through acrary's, ericp's and a few others' material some time ago, excellent material, very useful indeed.

Amnesiac / milstar - ok thx for clarifying, always good to learn a bit more about the way the markets are structured.

i agree with one of the above posts - scaling out is as much of an integral part of a strategy as entry, so asking if it's a fallacy is akin to asking if entry is a fallacy... you need to analyze if scaling out makes your strategy more profitable or not and then decide if it works for your...

i think you are communicating some interesting information, but i have a hard time understanding, partly because i am not familiar with the legal / admin / operational side of Eurex in detail - can someone with more knowledge pls clarify what this means, as i would like to understand better how...

same here - always love it however, that their System Availability webpage is remarkably stable, i have never seen it say anything other than: System Availability Stat Message Created/Updated No problems No problems reported at this time. 2005/09/26 2005/09/26

also note how nicely perched we are here bang in the middle of this 1000+pts 2-year range - try and make any directional calls from here... :)

i don't follow the compx but i have recalled your post because i was just looking at the daily dow, and even though i don't trade off daily charts, i like to look at them, and it has occurred to me that this may be indeed an interesting chart point here, i.e. test of this year's uptrend line - i...

i have looked at online backup providers a not so long ago - my primary concern would be security and reliability - there are a few providers out there, i have found one (can't remember the name, but easy to find in online reviews) that lists blue chips such as IBM and (i think) GE etc. as...

i think it's a very interesting topic, too bad no replies so far - i like finding situations where there is a specific underlying reason why price should move in a particular direction... - i looked around briefly but found no specific sites for this info - if you google, you will see that there...
