At a certain level you are expected to have rather than not have. Pit based trading most likely will join dinosaurs at your local history museum.

This is very true. The games played on Dom are legion, but there is a way to see through them. Not sure if it is possible on bund but definitely on DAX. I have posted a link earlier in the thread of how I do it.
Price action is the most important variable of course, but Dom helped me hugely to be not shaken out as many times as I used to be. Once I am in a trade that went into green, managing it becomes easy, it is the beginning that is hard. My loss tolerance is very small. Dom analysis helps to identify bad entries, and thus avoiding them.
