Sure, big orders require lots of liquidity. Well, I was not sure how big was the order so I looked at the volume. Montly volume is lets say 500k-1M, the average daily volume is 25-50k so it seems like a nice chunk of the daily volume. (I know goes to 2006 but I could not find better data, :-))

Well, I saw that spike and I guessed that it took some stops but I guess you would give stops some leeway, 5- 10 points. I know, you mentioned GS on ES channel but I guessed they did it much higher, 1150 or so. So they are already loosing money you say.

What did you mean by dirty game? Buying at that level or just showing the limit orders?

Sure, it is quite reasonable to assume that they move in sync. There are exceptions, Nikkei vs. S&P for example. I know it can have some fx or economic reasons but I completely agree. Btw. DAX is not my best money generating index, :-). However, I'm not very negative about economy...

When I saw morning action I started to worry. I even went long 6309 on and expected to take out 6330. Well, there was a peak but I didn't have limit and it was outside my reaction time, :-), closed 6315 for whatever reason. It looks like short side played it very well. I know it is not...

Yes, I think so, I do not know where are stop losses (maybe 6330 or do) but to me it looks like a losing game. HKG 1.3%, Nikkei +0.7%, Korea +0.8% too tuch money in shorts in EU. Well, I'm short too but I do not like DAX movement, it is a ticking bomb. As y'day example I went short Dow...

Hi, I wonder why did put stoploss at 6380? Also the target sub 6200 is quite vague, RR is 1:1.2 or less. I personally would put stop loss at 6330-40, which would make RR 1:2.5.

Btw. ES at 1143, if it was short from 1943 you would swim in the money, I guess. Anyway, you may be surprised where market can go and have 20% invested is a big chunk of the account. I don't sey that I don't do it but you have to be right, :-). Market is building the support around 6.3k...

I'm confused too. Also, what I don't get is how come they can do this? Don't they pay any comissions or fees? Or how much they pay for this kind of game?

My guess, it will go over 6.3k. Remember Long DAX/Short FTSE, this is the day. And it will stay there , unless bears in US are going to do something about it.

I guess not so fast as I expected.

Well, it is 106.8 vs. 106.2 expected, previous 106.7. We are going up.

yes, with that I agree.

Concerning news I missed shorts, I didn't see them so bad, above 50 is still expansion. However, I went long at 6155 when US news came out. Well, I run out of the market like a scared chicken but it was sucessfull for building confidence, :-). It is my first trade on the news where I...

I'm going to watch it but how to trade it? I've read some stuff about trading news but as you have said I just watch it, :-), I'm unable to trade it.

This situation is not what I wanted for DAX and my straddle. I wish my straddle position was much larger and I could delta hedge, :-). I was quite anxious to see DAX above 6.5k, I just hope it will move towards 6k. (Did I use word hope ?! Well, I guess it is time to close that bleeding loser.)

Yeah, tell me about that, I already count my losses.

But it was a pain .... I closed in the morning at 6282 and had free day.

Well, I felt that these sneaky dogs won't give up in the morning. Luckily closed my shorts after open. If they want to break go on I still hold 6250 calls.

Sure, well, I shorted 5 mins before given that Dow didn't want to make new highs. Also, I picked up few points from CAC as well. ----------------------- Tomorrow's prediction: Asia session: Well, I'm not sure about Asia. I wanted to go long Japan and short Dow, maybe long fx but I left...
