scaled out some now 55-60.
The important things to observe is if you see something "strange". Usually people like to trade the "normal" things so today that would have been to sell because of the very bad distribution day in ES, and indeed this was very very bad in ES, high volume selling after this low volume drift up the last couple of days.
So why the hell did Fdax not fall like a stone today like it normaly would ?
I don't know.
There may be a couple of reasons, sometimes the Dax is not following ES after to many Up-days because Dax is afraid of a correction in ES looming and then Dax is relieved if the correction in ES is there (it had already discounted this correction).
Another reason may be that the selloff in ES was only a big party sell program by Goldman and friends and they will lift it up again today. If this is the case, they earn some aditional pocket money with buying dax here.
Anyway someone with strong hands collected Fdax today and you can assume this was not a stupid one, so follow the big ones, not the small ones. And trade the strange things (not fade them), not the normal things.
