Big mess on goign for me: 10FDXM 859,5 and 2FDAX 854, current 828...
B - hypothetically, supposing at 828 the market went on down to close at 728, then headed down further tomorrow, as the DAX can.

May I please ask how you would deal with such a situation ? Would you attempt to enter / exit every pullback to keep reducing the average price of your short 4 x FDAX (equivalent), or would you just hold on the basis that "a large DD will occasionally occur" & just accept it ?

You have referred to an earlier bloodbath or two, but I have never witnessed one, whereas I have on several occasions witnessed you having a very good day with Longs only while the market stair-stepped its way steadily downwards throughout the session !

Short 761 FDXM Sold 2 more 782, so 3 short @ 775 & now FDAX long from 797 followed by 2 more FDXM short @ 802, so 5 short 786, fully hedged from 797 Comment to follow... this is full position from my August trading plan (5 x FDXM covered by 1 x FDAX), so next action will be to remove hedge (&, btw, this is in sim, as I can't use Ger30 to do this live). The trouble with switching to sim is that it is too easy to take risks that I would never do Live (= I am now scalping the FDAX contract in both directions); I am going to try to stick to this for...
Holy Moly - just closed out this simulated disaster at +€222.50 (totally unrealistic, of course, as in a Live acount I would never have held the DD, which reached slightly over €10k at one point as I held 1 x FDAX short, in addition to the 5 x FDXM). But at least I have crossed one more item off the test list.

this is an hypohtethical talk, anyway if market went down as you said from 830 till 730 I would have 3 options:
1. lower entry price and exit most positions every rise in the prices(this is an ultrafast action not easy to do) and taking also some soft losses;
2. shift all positions from intraday to overnight (more margin call needed) and waiting daily settlement Eurex price (17:30 CET) to better evaluate next 24 hrs;
3. use last day/days profits to mitigate the losses.

It was another rollercoaster daytrade yd...as usual.
8CET Eurex open will be around 800.
These are my early morning levels on FDAX M20 chart.

FDAX M20 chart update: 815 till 830 super strong resistance...but if market will break up > straight to 880 zone.
while below 830/815 we'll probably retest yd lows
as usual I made my choice...we'll see

Back in single lot scalp mode this morning, short 809, rev long 808 (and a Bund scalp, but Bund in sim; Edit : Bund chart alongside DAX chart is a distraction for me at the present time, so bye bye Bundy).

So much for scalp mode...., another order waiting around yesterday close consolidation area :
