{quote} Well I can only speak for myself, but I find that crude oil is very technical looking at H4 and Daily supply and demand (areas of consolidation followed by large sell-offs or rallies). But it can be very whippy if you don't know its behaviour. I wouldn't be looking at "explosion moments" as such, but generally crude oil moves the most after NYMEX open. I would be looking at a larger tf analysis.
Thank you for your comment, really appreciate.

right now, I'm studying price action only... however my idea about "explosion moments" is because If I could filter these moments, when the market goes sharp to a side (does not matter which side), and use bars like renko bars or range bars, I could make some nice trades...

can I post a picture here?

Hello guys how are you today? any idea for dax?

GM - I bought the spike down to the DP at LO.....a push up towards yesterday's high would be nice.....SL 1 pt below the open, so I have a free, profitable ride....

Edit: out for a quick dozen on stop.....now watching the DP / BRN confluence.....patience.....

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.
Try this indi (maybe this is the same as before), I use it for CFD and FX.

My Internet was off for the most important time of trading DAX/FTSE.. That said, was short DAX at 9626.2 since yesterday.. Will continue to hold shorts.. Ideal target is 9254. Let's see. Oh and FTSE just triggered a sell as well.

I'm using Ninjatrader for charting as well, was planning to open Futures trading account but not quite got the funds so looking at CFDs. Do you trade CFDs with Ninjatrader? I can't find a broker that offers this.

Also sorry if asked elsewhere in the thread but I couldn't see, most brokers CFDs quotes seem to be from the cash indices underlining prices, do any of you guys use a CFDs broker that uses the futures as the underlining? I've being trying various demo and FX Pro offers DAX, Gold, Oil, ES, YM all of which match very closely the futures prices, so I could keep using my Ninjatrader for charting.

Their spreads are 2 ticks on DAX, ES 0-1 ticks (peak times), YM 3 ticks, but Oil is not great at 4- 6 ticks, plus commissions, seem ok?

Hello spacepip, no I don't trade CFD via MT4 or NT and have no idea if you can trade it on NT. I daytrade futures on NT and swing spot on MT4. As you know, margins on futures if you want to hold a position are extremely high (well, it depends on instrument) so it is suitable for daytrading, at least in my case. Hmmm, lets see 1978/80 on SP...

A stronger open in the US has the S&P above its 61% retrace and the DAX has made it up to yesterday's high which I was looking for earlier and its 50% retrace.....I took partials there from my buy off the 5m HL....we need to watch the US Consumer Confidence in two hours....

Edit: good earnings from several S&P heavyweights seems to be the main driver.....

for this type of calculator you have to consider a few things... your currency base (account currency), currency base of the instrument, etc...
if none of them work, email me and I try build one for you... seems to be simple

nice moves

market nervously awaiting fed and nfps, we are not going to see new record highs before, and if we break the highs, its going to be a quick fake.
