{quote} Had questionned the thread about the gap left well below dax actual level. Still trying to go for it. Good trades to all.
Went out just after the news. hopefully reloading short higher. Or lower. We'll see. Still looking for the two opened gaps (the lowest around 9130/40). Good trades to all.
edit : my out price was 9665

+51.8 at 9650 - got an entry at 9598.2 - must be beginners luck :nerd:
I chose 9650 cos Dax seems to like round numbers, I just need to get a consistent 50 pips/day and I'll be happy

Great entry .....I got long off the S3 9602 and had my target at S2 9665 or the 50% retrace of today's range at 9673 so I banked nice points too .....Dax likes the daily pivot levels too

Thanks Islander, I enjoy trying to understand your charts, you're obviously a very good trader
Something fishy with one of these feeds, 2 UK 'sources' showing completely different pivot numbers

Now continuing the "trade for the gaps" - back in short at 9616.5. Sometimes a pity to have to followyour own rules but... it's the rule.

Edit : so yet 9870>9665 then 9616.5> ? Objectives on zones 9480/9500 & 9130/9140

You will always get small differences in the actual Daily Pivot level - like the December contract prices vs cash prices. However, the normal calculation uses the close of the US markets at 5pm New York. Just add the day's high + day's low + day's close at 5pm NY and divide by 3 to get the actual Daily Pivot - shown as a Mauve Dashed line on my charts. That allows you to quickly check if you have the base correct level. This is the "most used" calculation.

It maybe your UK sources are using the UK close.....

Scaled out half on 9596; keeping the rest until corrective bullish sign. Same objectives. Have a nice evening and good trades.
edit : I mean until bullish signs on bigger timeframe (back on the 4H scale)
