So you are trading this creeper market before the FED announcement....

GBL stopped out @ 58, -5 pts.

The Bund doesn't look like a creeper right now, does it?

GBL re-entered long 1 @ 116.48

Looks like trend fighting... Or is this contrarian? :eek:

Weekly support around these levels. Last chance
for the bulls to turn it around should/would show up
here. Looking to load up for the longer
time-frame. Of course, it usually takes me many
bad entries... I may be wrong, of course, but if
I am not it pays back well.

Right, so I was sitting tight, waiting for this set-up and it paid.

Good for you. My track record in the Bund
isn't good lately. I must be around 150 points
down since the beginning of this journal.

Your overall track record is quite good, but it would be interesting how it is compared to risk/volatility. Do you know your Sharpe?

Here are the total stats for my futures trading
for almost 2 months:

ESTX50 +566 in 131
DAX -8.5 in 5
SMI +359 in 66
GBL -157 in 90

Right now, I am still in a drawdown of around $1200.
