Does anyone scalps DAX on M1 ?
I use the 1m chart - especially on days like today when the downside momentum is lessening and the direction MAY be changing - to trade the ID swings for 20 - 40 pts.......some may call this scalping - I dont!

I just bought the NYSE open and banked 20 minutes later for ~40 pts.....

Today my choice of action was looking for a larger move, although there were plenty of up and down moves inbetween. It did pay off well, over 100 full points...

{quote} I have the 8980 to 8770 area as a potential target.....it includes the first fib retrace and the weekly TL.....and so far, no divergence from the TVI on this or the 4 hrly charts..... TWT. Meanwhile, as you say, some great intra day swings / scalps both ways {image}
Absolutely, In all of the l/t charts I analyzed , they have one thing in common ... 8750s pops right up ...

Right now I'm watching 9135 w/ great interest for a long opp

You're welcome.. I am scalping always by watching the trend on 1H and Daily timeframes together. If both are green on my "UFX Trend multimeter" indicator I only scalp in direction long. If both are red I scalp only in direction short. If 1H and Daily trends disagree with each other I don't scalp.

Happy Trades

Morning guys!!!

  1. Some support formed at 9114, with a possible bounce. My next level to watch is 9214
  2. A continued rally closing above 9364 and i'd view as DAX back to being bullish
  3. A break of 9114 will see 9014 and a bounce again, which i'll see as the last rally before the index nose dives

Russia started off with its sanctions y'day but I bet there's more to come. What's scary is their plans of targeting country specific sanctions which is clear that they want to teach EU a lesson. Finland y'day already noted that their economy could take a hit and expect EU to compensate for the possible losses coming out of the sanctions. Germany would very well bear the brunt of financially having to support the rest of EU.

Good luck and trade safe!!
