{quote} thanks & you to @hadox But what about the technical part? I mean, it really respects trendlines , S/R, fibs etc.. But why? How i understand it, one can not move the index with big money, but only the shares in it right? therefor why does it bounce of a resistence when there actualy aint no real money pushing the dax back? Is it just the human behavor that reflects on the dax, what happens on the real shares? Hope you guys understand.
you´re welcome.

you can move the FDAX with big money. this is done by the big boys - sometime it´s event-driven (f.e. headline-algo), others scanning eurex-orderbook (in order to detect high volume orders), some are based upon levels/indicators/etc.

also, the dax is a capital wheigted index - as hadox stated correctly. so one can get 90% of the indexperformance, buying only the 10 heaviest stocks. this is often done at esbat (?) ("großer verfall", "dreifacher hexensabbat", next: 19.9., 19.12.)

Dano12,

why don`t you believe me that the Matrix Add-on has a bug in the MC3 (black) time frame ?. You must invert it to get correct results. MC3-18 is a high not a low.

I do follow Delta counts on DAX, and DOW/S&P. Yes MC3 has inverted some long time ago. So LTD/MC3 18 (Black numbers) is High.
Saying that, lately the counts are very challenging.
I trade momentum and the structure using Fibs on intra day as I find it difficult to hold trades for longer periods atm.
I grab what I can with a very tight SL.

Every one wants the Dax this week, this morning has seen smart gains, but I can't help holding the reservation that a repeat of bad news out of Ukraine as experienced Friday afternoon would see the bottom drop out fast again

tight stops needed

My guess is we gain Mon,Tues,Wed. and see a correction on either Thursday or Friday. Let's see what happens this week.

Hi All,


Just wanted some expert advice please.


On Monday before DAX open I had a pending order at 9134, the market close as shown on my platform was around 9131 on Friday night. The market, as I was expecting, opened gap up around 9240 and went up till 9246. My broker filled my order at 9240 which was suppose to be 9134 fill entry.


Now when I questioned my broker regarding this fill, they say it is okay as per them as market moved up quite a lot. I know sometimes there can be slippages but this was way too much. I did manage to close the trade today in positive though but was not happy with the fill.


I have raised a complaint with the compliance team of my broker but wanted opinions here as to what is right and wrong, what is the best course of action for me.


Thanks you.


PS Add: As it is DAX related and I was looking for expert advice, I have posted the problem at another thread as well and will come back from seniors reply from there as well. Cheers!

Just a natural occurrence that happens with the Dax every day. Nothing can be done about it. You are using a broker that is not "open" until the German exchange opens. By that time the "Gap" has moved the price, in this case to 9240. Nothing your broker can do about it. regard yourself as lucky to have had the forethought of a pending buy order in anticipation of a move North. Just unlucky 1/2 the move was pre opening time.
Edit. Advice for all. Get yourselves a demo platform from IG Markets so you can watch what happens with the DAX during the Asian session.
