I don't think it was an good opportunity because of S/R alone. It might as well have broken through the 450, as we had several days with a close below SMA200 + EMA200 and a high oil price. But right now the market has the usual bullish tendency towards the end of a quarter. This might go on for...

:eek: Where is your stop?

I like 2 and 3 better for timing the entry, but look at the 5 min to see where we are heading and for confirmation. I usually use 9/18 ma crossovers as signals. This traded was based on the assumption that that the market will be bullish towards the beginning of october and that the break...

looks like a good support .. I'm long at 460, stop at 445.

I guess he was just kidding. :D

Do you think it would be wise to fade today's gap? I have a feeling that it's one of those that are followed by an 100+ point move and won't get closed for at least a few days.

That's probably the most important thing to realize. Once you trade real money you will worry about not closing for a loss - or become greedy after a few lucky trades and overtrade. The problem is, that your are still too much focused on the money. In nearly every post you write how much...

It's the site of Lang&Schwarz a german broker firm. They offer trading of german stock after exchange close and on weekends. That's why during those times they have a DAX (not FDAX!) indication on their site, after which they quote all the stocks you can trade there. Just ignore the other...

Exactly, didn't know how to describe those really.. I was trading this turbo: LS10T9 It ranged between 0,18 € an 1,26€ within the last hour.

You can see the real-time indication here. It will be updated until 9 pm CET. http://www.quotecenter.de/lang/detail_index.cfm?lus=0.25576565&

Here in Germany we were are to trade a sort of derivative on the Dax from 5 pm to 9 pm CET on this election sunday. The bank that calculates the DAX-quotes for these products saw the DAX at 5040 5 minutes prior to 6 pm. At 6pm the first estimates about the voting came in and the quote for...

Similar story here.. Did two quick trades, just to see how execution works and to get a feel for it. Made just a few points on each with one contract, but also thougt "Hey that wasn't so difficult". On the next trade I went long with two contracts because the market was going down a bit...

That's right, the bullish tendency should start already a few weeks before the expiry date. I'm not sure about the week after expiry, though. Apart from that, I wonder what the mechanism behind this thing is. Understanding that would make predictions more robust against factors like long...

Very interesting indeed. I also suspect that weeks prior to the expiry week have a higher probability of being bullish. Have you already tested that?

It was on n-tv, it's a german news station that covers the stock markets too. They also have a live stream on the internet: http://www.n-tv.de/1179.html Amnesiac

Hi, It was caused by an "input error". Apparently a key on some trader's keyboard got "stuck", resulting in selling way more than he intended. At least that's what they're saying here on german TV (n-tv). Amnesiac

Hi, just wanted to inform you, that the spike of 40 points down at 10:17 CET in the DAX was caused by an "input error". Apparently a key on some trader's keyboard got "stuck", resulting in selling way more than he intended. At least that's what they're saying here on german TV (n-tv)...
