{quote} I as i have seen in your journal earier atleast if you havent gone over too futures you traded CFD`s with points and i have no clue at all how that works i have done one trade on the dax with one lot and with the broker i used for that 1 lot was way too small...Soo probebly a very stupid question how many lots doo you need on Indices too be the same as 1 lot in forex pairs...I have gooten that its counted in points and not pips but thats pretty much it would be nice if you couldd explain a little abaut the difference in trading indices instead...

I don't trade Forex pairs. So no info about that.

1 FDAX Future 1 point = E25,00 P/L (costs +/- E3,00 round turn/in & out)
1 MDAX Future 1 point = E 5,00 P/L (costs +/- E3,00 round turn/in & out)

1 CFD 1 point = E 1,00 P/L (costs +/- E2,00 round turn/in & out)

So 5 CFD contracts is +/- same P/L value as 1 MDAX (Mini) Future contract but higher broker costs.

CFDs are more expensive, and therefor not so suitable for scalping.

CFDs are better for Swing trades. Try to catch longer trend trades/break outs.

With 5 CFD contracts you can scale out easier then with 1 Future contract. Thats the only advantage I see in CFD trading. Let the last CFD contract run as far as you can.


And I forgot you can hedge with CFDs and thats not possible with Futures, unless you have 2 differnet Future accounts.

DAX was some weeks ago already close to the 11K. Could be tested again.

Below the 11K the 10.500 is the next support zone. Had to go back +/- 2.5 Years of data.

Depends what you trade. CFD or Future?

It doesn't matter what platform U trade with. The kind of instrument you trade with counts.

1 Lot is 1 contract indeed.

There are no stupid questions. You only need to do some more homework.

I have no clue about Forex currency pairs. But I'm not stupid. (I think )

DAX has now some new single TPOs/pocket to cover down to 370 and still a Y TPO pocket to fill up to 550/+2.0%

Price will go as high as possible to fill the Y TPO pocket (partial) and then down again to fill the Todays pocket.
DAX bearish/below my swing MA lines.

Swing long above 11.550 zone, but that will only happen if the Italian & Brexit problems are suddenly solved

US markets look ready to pop and restore some of the Y damage.
Prices still above their Swing MA lines, but recovery is fragile.

DAX Swing CFD Spot Long @ 11.355 T1 +55p 4 lot 2 lot to go/SL BE T2 +76p 1 lot 1 lot to go/SL trailing up Target: Y TPO pocket 11.475<>550/+2.0% zone No idea if that can be reached Today
Added more CFD lots @ 11.395 to my initial Long trade (last running lot)

+40p 4 lot exit
2 lot to go

1 lot exit +35p
1 lot to go/SL BE @ 11.355 (initial entry last lot)

FLAT +45p last lot


All markets have Y TPO pockets to fill to the upside, so I try to reach that.
But DAX still bearish on my charts, so tight SL for the extra new lots. Price close to +1.0% now.

Up target 450. Next 550

NQ Swing CFD Spot Long @ 6875.

T1 +22p 3 lot
4 lot to go. SL BE zone. 6800 could be tested again

FLAT BE last 4 lot
Maybe Swing Long again above 6880/6900 zone

Price made a few zig zags above my Swing MA line. Lets see if the price wants to cross the 6900 Res. level.

Target TPO pocket up to 6975 zone

DOW had a tripple distribution Yesterday

Price now on the lowest peak and need to break out above that lowest peak in order to fill the Y TPO pocket. (25.525 -0.5% zone)

If it can't break that peak, price could drop to a N POC @ 25.150 zone

Same story for the SnP
