{quote} Currently 2.4pts on Dow, but its still after market hours, so I suspect this will drop to 1pt on NYSE trading hours. Dax is 1pt spread during trading hours.

I'm told that the spread should drop to 2.5 during market hours and the "target" is 4 during out of hours/low liquidity periods. Whereas last week it was 2 - 2.5 out of hours and 1.6 during. I'll be keeping a close eye on it this afternoon.

Low liquidity? 4 points is a rip-off. Even on a morning like this, the spread in the futures market is 1 point almost all the time, and every once in a while it's two points.

Yes I know - and I have sent them an outraged email to justify their position as they have suddenly made themselves very uncompetitive with the likes of IG who maintain 2.4 out of hours and 1.6 during market hours. Their reply - or lack of one - will determine whether I switch my account.
Nice spike up to and rejection of the R1 daily pivot on the Dow. Short at 12642 on the pullback and the spread went from 3.6 to 1.5 at the NY open. Staff at the broker don't even know what their own spreads are!
Note for later: it's OK to trade on Mondays. Damn >.<

Bought a dax at 11530 with thick gloves. Possible adds at 11515 with confirmation. I can't believe they would let a majority of retail sellers get away with this so easily.

Perhaps. But it's not over until the fat lady sings. Dax is still in a healthy H4 uptrend. Days like these, when I look at the dow, can be a needed breather in a streched move up and suck more sellers in. It's fun to witness and trade in any case.

Was an ugly base but good old merkel still respecting levels. Took some out, SL at BE, revisit very likely but so be it.
