Fdax Here on my 4H chart, you can see what I call the golden corner Price must pierce through it. As it does volatility rises. If it pierces the horizontal part then price could rally to North again. So I am putting a pending order just below it. Since I don't like shorting these days I do nothing for the lower part yet but it is still a possibility to go more south. New Pending Order (buy stop): 9743 TP and SL not yet. Happy Trades {image}
Set my SL to: 9690 for now, will move it up if I can.

(ideal target is 9806, but will move my SL anyway)

haha Yer I was pretty sure its was going up, but I've never had such a perfect exit point. Seems like a bull day.
Edit: in hind-sight maybe not such a perfect exit, but i'll try not to be greedy

{quote} SL at 9718 now.. Happy Trades
Shooting Star (bearish) on 15m.. so I think price will go down first before it goes higher but volume is low again. Will try to get out with some points profit. If not I already tightened my SL to 25 points.. its okay if I lose.. we will have many more opportunities.. so now I am chasing a good price over 9643 to get out.

good morning,

what a bull market. i donīt have a plan atm. my first idea: gap-close, even though itīs only a small gap. maybe iīll just wait for nfp in order to trade eurusd again. wait and see...

So far I think I missed the chance to step out. SL is still at 9718. I wish price turns back without touching my SL. Now I am leaving it to faith.. wait and see time.

Have you decided to stop DAX trading after your bad run and now just concentrate on Eur/USD over events/econmic releases??
Thanks

He didn't have a bad run! He mentioned in an earlier post that high volatility news events effect forex more, so thats what he trades on days like today. He also mentioned what a good day he had yesterday on EU, so I don't know where you got the "bad run" from.

Good trading!

By the way: In futures we use ticks and points, not pips. Price changing from 9600 to 9605 would be 5 points. But price changing from 9605.0 to 9605.5 would be 1 tick. http://daytrading.about.com/od/ptor/...sTicksPips.htm Just wanted to clearify that it's never pips. Happy Trades
Hi, AT, thank you for clearifying this.
To tell the truth, I really don't know the difference as my native language is not English.
I just trade, never know this.
Thanks.

In the end these are all technical terms. It really doesn't disturb me when people talking in wrong terms.. but I look at it as a sign of "respect to business"..

Traders who respect what they do are getting more respect when they talk about forex and trading, compared to those who don't.
