I'm out of my long at BE, downward momentum was always against it.
Same here on DAX, although I survived on ES (SP) because I moved stop few ticks lower. We'll see.

Funny, just noticed we entered again long on DAX at about same price... mine was at 9449.50. Nice.

I am looking at Spanish and Italian Indices, and they look bearish, why DAX would be different? Anyone knows? What your analysis tells you?

There is possible ABC formation on DAX, it has been mentioned earlier on this thread, with possible termination on B around 9610, which is 61.8 fib retracement from the last move down on Daily. I am not advocating to catch this top, but the lack of daily close well above that zone will indicate that this ABC is in play. If so, this will be followed by a good move down in some relation to the first move down. This possible scenario would make Dax bearish for a while, with a possible targets even below 8000, just below it, if so from there the Christmas...
9320 zone is a very possible target after the current pulback has been finished, marked with a blue zone and brown S/R horizontal line, this zone also coincides with 141.1Fib EXT @ 9342 which often is a minimum target of a move still against the trend on a higher TF.
The current pulback might re-test the previous H, if so that shall be again a great shorting opportunity.

My calculations give me similar value around 9310.. so what Is your target price for the top of the upside retracement? At what price would you short? Do you mean 9600 as the previous high?

(Since I am stuck with a long which I opened at 9550 its crucial for me to get some ideas about the turning point, otherwise it will be a real pain, and not to offend you but I thought my charts are messy lol)

Looking at 50% retracement minimum, this is the first move down on dax, with max at 86.6% creating thus some kind harmonic animal (like butterfly or crab) with precise short entries.
9550 was my confirmed short entry displayed in the top left corner of the chart.
By previous H I mean 9607, a good retest of this zone when rejected will act as strong confirmation of the move down.
Yes my charts look messy, but if it helps me to make good profits regularly, I do not care.
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!

I've just left a post on another thread that you guys might like to see. We could be in for troubled times within the very near future!

 

  1. To me this whole blame game that has been heaped on Russia during the past few months is all part of an orchestration leading up to next week's NATO summit in Wales to label Russia, through propaganda, as a threat to international security. If this is so, as I strongly suspect it might be, then next week's summit will be used as a call to extend NATO into Ukraine and right up to Russia's border. The US has been working towards this for years. If this happens, what will the Russians do? One thing they will not do, and I lived there for five years, is do nothing. We are in, dear friends, for one hell of a big sell off in the world's financial markets if this comes to pass over the next few weeks, and this will be the very least we can expect.

when spx reaches the range 2020 - 2050, short it and hold for target 1974 - 1954.
Options expire on 3rd Friday of September. Your target for a short before or after options expire in September?

Russia will do what it has done for the last few centuries. STOP who ever tries to invade them, just like they did with Napoleon, Hitler. US won't be any exeption.
But for sure it's gona get tipsy on the markets if we come to such a point. Even it will be nasty for the common folk I think it will be a Heaven for traders.

Well.. just looked back on monthly charts and lately there were a big long monthly bear candle 2008 January and 2011 August. (3 years + 8 months distance)
So statistically that big fall would not start inside 2014 if the cycle repeats itself like this.. it is 2015 March but IMHO his analyse sounds more like the 2012 prophecy..

Well yes, it might well be just as long as no one decides to start throwing nuclear weapons about, because then no amount of technical analysis will help any of us!

well, i will try to say this as polite as i can:
this is exactly the kind of posts i didīnt expected when i joined ff. to me this is a kind of xenophobia like it has existed in my country 70 years ago: a fallen empire, with ethnical minorities behind the boarders (which had changed for good reasons), abused by a leader in order to preserve his own power, saying he will do anything to protect his people no matter where they live - and that he has a plan to restore the glory of the past.

can we leave the private, political opinion aside, please? this has nothing to do with trading. if you would say: this conflict will increase and might irritate markets, i totally agree - had bought a bundle twice (long usdrub, short gazprom, long raytheon, long statoil), first when the maidan protests began, sold with nice profit, and later when mh17 was shot down, again with a very good profit. this is a kind of speculation many people would call immoral (not knowing that i transferred a good sice of the profits to ukrainian aid agencies)- thatīs okay. the market is not a place for moral apostle, itīs just + and -. all one can do is to think what can be done with the profit, and thatīs his own thing imao.

sorry...
