My apologies for a non RT post.....I hope the Boss Lady will forgive me.......but I think yesterday's action is worth a comment.

On Thursday price managed to get back above that hourly downtrend line that I posted and this was despite this "DAX constituent BASF released poor earnings and is down 3%"

Then on Friday the German Info Business Climate release came in at 108 vs expectations of 109.6......and price went up after the news, putting in the day's high - a Lower High - half an hour later. I missed the significence of this failure and did not sell until later, after the US Open.

Even then, patience was needed and it was only ~20 minutes before the London Fix / Europen Close at 15:00 gmt / 4pm London that the fall really started with a drop of 120 points in the next hour, with 70 points coming in the 8 minutes into 15:00......some drop!

FYI, the coloured S&R rectangles on my chart are hand placed S&R levels that update and change colour if appropriate at the open of each bar - the second indy in the file attachments in my old thread.

Now price has tested the .386 fib on the higher TF charts - for the third time. Next week should be interesting......

In the last hour or so S&P has gone from -2 to +1.5 and DAX doesn't seem to be responding in kind.

Patience is the game - especially before LO, where the LH suggested a retest of Friday's low into the supply area around the BRN. The hourly closed as a high volumed marubozo having spiked under Friday's low. I took an initial buy there and am now waiting to see what happens ~ today's opening level of 9650....chart later...

Each to their own way of course. I trade m15 with 200 ema as a filter - long above short below. So therefore I am in short mode specially as price has been below daily open (based on London open not Frankfurt - too many false moves in Frankie time)

I too use MAs as filters......actually 3 and as the longest - the 100 EMA on the 15m was sloping down as was the 21 EMA, so my buys were only for 1/3 of a position during this morning and I sold when the US traders and the S&P failed to move up. I just took partials as price stalled at todays S1 level of 9580....my next level is a fib expansion at 9548.....TWT

We did and my fib was actually at 9546......a nice afternoon, having sold ~ Friday's low

The poor US Housing data sent the S&P down and the DAX actually fell 44 points in the 14:03 gmt bar.....

Can someone please code a position sizing indicator for DAX which can be calculated in terms of percentage risk per point or pips. I search almost everywhere on the internet, even the almighty Google could not give me what i want.

for mt4?
do you mean something like:

(stop=100 pips, risk = 10%) size 1
(stop=200 pips, risk = 10%) size 0.5
