Disliked{quote} u trade around 5 lots at a time for relatively small gain. mostly taking 3-5-10-15 pips in profit. Have u ever experienced a reverse spike, if yes what did u do, does stops fill?Ignored
FDAX I trade 1 to 2 lots only.
MDAX I trade 2 to 3 lots only.
With the first lots I cover 5 to 10 ticks in the Futures. Quick profit. (scalp)
The last remaining lot I try to catch a runner. But runners happen most of the time only 1 or 2 times out of 10 trades.
When there is a fast reverse (like yesterday in the DAX) there can be some slippage in closing the position.
I usually close a position market.
1 point SnP = $ 50,00 (4 pips)
1 point NQ = $ 20.00 (4 pips)
1 point FDAX = E 25,00 (2 pips)
1 point MDAX = E 5.00 (no pips)
So each trade I try to grap +/- $ or E50.00 to 100,00 with the first lot(s)
When the last lot is a runner its a nice extra.
