Dax Cash Index from 9CET till 17:35CET. No way! some lines you draw in your chart are respected in following price action, some lines not 14280 zone was crucial imho yd but it's not indicated. Again I had...
Thank you for the feedback. I am not looking at replacing hand picked levels that derive from price action, nor the fibo levels that we all use. I am however impressed that even a single level was hit. This must be either a coincidence but I doubt. More research needed.

{quote} DAX is allowing money managers to make most of capital efficiency by using any of three index contracts as future spreads. Which means you don't have to use pair trading as a spread. You can use Dax index futures spreads for hedging and bringing the margin to neutral whenever you get distrurbed by volatility. Margin and loss are calculated as two factors of margin deposit. If you want to trade stress free, you don't take more than 30% of your capital, keep 10% of capital for taking chance (for volatility) and immediately convert the trade...
I have a question. Why is buying 1 FDAX and selling 5FDXM to "freeze" the position any different than selling the original FDAX and then purchasing it again you want to "resume" trading?

{quote} Thanks, and you often tell us this strategy, but I'm not able to do this strategy as I'm by now completely focused on one direction when I trade. But sometimes, better say rarely I had different positions on different direction and it was really too complicated for me to follow them, specially becasue I'm not used to follow this trading way...probably. But I understand the correct logic of your strategy and reminds me what i have done my early years on trading hedging 3 FESX (Eurostoxx future) with 1 FDAX in the old times. It was an almost...
I am neither suggesting you to follow this method nor finding fault with yours or for that matter anybody's trading methods.

I am simply sharing my actual trading method without claiming it be superor than yours or others.

Experience is the foundation stone for building many designed houses houses. Each house has its own beauty. That is what I am trying to say and not influence you or any other traders. We all are products of our own upbringing and own real life experiences. We all are different and will remain so.

I share my experience for the benefit of a newcomer rather than battle-hardened traders like you.

Most of the time I freeze price with a profit and wait for momentum time .

Because margin becomes neutral so I am free to trade normally other strategies.

As part of big win by momentum I freeze it for two to three days in search of unfreezing at strong reactive points like resistance and support where I think the velocity of momentum will pick up fast and I take a risk trying to make it big hits in both directions. An example: I sell longs at Resistance with 200 pips hoping for a 50 or even 100 pc reversal to make 100 or 200 pips from shorts reversals within half hour. It is purely an experienced traders game who can assume the strong momentum locations to work for them.

You are talking of stop loss but I am talking about the power of 5 or 15 m candle moving by at least 100 pips.

Risk and your assumptions go hand in hand. Risk not gain not.

Margin Capital should be divided into two parts:

1. Capital that is used as a good faith security for getting leverage. It is the initial Margin. It will be returned to you in case of stop out.
It is better not to count it as part of your trading capital.

2. Important part of the capital is the money that can be used to cover loss and not Margin. If you don't have enough trading capital , then freezing will not help.
You should always aim for keeping at least 80% of total Initial margins as your liquid cash flow. Also take out margin capital out of calculation of returns.

Hi, sorry to see you getting on the defensive. Your efforts in educating and writing here are appreciated and your openness to discussion will be appreciated even more. Or you risk talking to yourself
My question was short and to the point in an attempt to show you a fault in your line of thinking.
You're tying margin on both positions with nothing to gain. You're paying more to your broker in commissions. Your mark to market is still there and your NAV is the same if you close position or if you "hedge" it.
It's wiser to close the position and wait for new opportunities with your capital invested in a short-term interest paying instrument rather than being used as a margin collateral and bear costs. You only gain in the illusion to avoid realizing a loss or to keep a profit, but that is an illusion only. You'll have to unwind the position eventually.
What you're doing is OK if you have a complex portfolio of different instruments (usually stocks or etfs) for which you have calculated a beta to the market. Then you could hedge that complex portfolio with the appropriate number of futures to achieve some market neutrality to keep you going trough the increased volatility period with no need to unwind or rebalance the portfolio, which would be much costlier. When done properly this is cheaper than using options for the same means.

Ok, hope you find the above constructive. It's not meant to bash you.
