{quote} yes, that's the great thing about trading the 1m charts - plenty of opportunities - super trade on the south bound express New low for Dax ~its 38% extension, but not for Dow / SPX.... with Dow holding ~S2..... I'm finished for the day - BFN

Hi Islander,

I take it you scalp trade the DAX? If so, how many points do you use as a stop??? I notice Deltaone uses a fixed 10 point stop..

Thanks for your response

Good luck with the Dow short, I'm sort of hoping it bounces off the BRN so I can short higher lol
used to be undecided but nowadays can't make my mind up

is the word for desertion a "rout" ?

nobody wants to own the stuff tonight!!!! Bearing in mind the main market closed 4 or more hours ago we're gonna look at one helluva gap in the morning at this rate


RSI on all TFs is dredging the bottom. But is there such a thing as over sold? Some people might say no, and that price is just the point at which buyers and sellers agree

And so it goes on.
Here are the real Dax targets with bounces on the way & of course daily bounces back to the Daily pivot or there abouts. Cheers

All of the late fall was due to Wall Street and both the Dow and SPX are decently above last week's lows - as is Dax, so we need to see what happens to Dow / SPX after the FOMC Minutes later today......meanwhile, there will be intra day pips waiting to be plundered

The 38% retrace of yesterday's range is close to today's DP which I have at 9064.....I'm already up a few after an early buy....

Hi there, Just a quick question- When you are scalping DAX do you have a set stop loss per trade ? ie 10 points etc...

Thanks

good morning,

today we will start with a huge gap - but i will not try gap-close atm, with that downside move behind and the minutes + alcoa starting earning season ahead.

good luck!

I start with a 10 pt SL and move it to -5 and then +1 as soon as I can.

Just now, I bought in the 6:56 gmt bar and got +5 on my quickly tightened SL......

@ 2be

Edit: sold early in 7:05 bar, out +10 at yest close level - a 1m hammer with high vol
