i don´t trade gold, i hold 10% as a long-term insurance for the (unlikely) worstcase.
i don´t look at silver, it´s a hybrid to me (half an industrial used heavy metall, half a bullion).
oil is falling on decreasing demand which is not a good sign for global growth rates - this is bad for german exports...

Fdax (4H)

Now everybody can clearly see the flag pattern is building itself nicely. That's a typical complex wave of 4. Maybe tomorrow or Friday this wave will probably end and we will have a nice fast move to south.. right now I am just scalping smaller timeframes like 5 or 15 min.

Happy Trades
Focus only on what truly matters!

I remember all too well what equities did this corresponding week in 1987, (coinciding with the UK getting hurricane force storms), and the market has done similarly in Octobers sometimes since then.

Gimme some good news. Everything is a bit bearish these days.

Took 56 pips by going short on Dax after LO, pity I got out a little early, but it was a nice profit. Rationale for the trade was price going below SMA of the previous 3 hours (170/180SMA on m1). And break of support on m5. Rationale for getting out - I think 26 is a nice TP to go for on m1, and when I doubled that, while baby sitting the trade, regardless of anything else, I just pulled out. Alternative would have been to tighten a trailing SL, but actually some retracement before another wave down followed might have rendered me worse off by choosing to do that

It's called ' Seasonal Affective Depression ' I believe.

Maybe you're right. Anyway it's good to be able to trade this stuff short as well as long, most equity fund managers other than hedge funds don't have this possibility, they can either own stuff or not own it.

Best to short the bounces until we see bottom

Back for the pre US Open 1 activity.....I missed the first spike down in the Dow, but got 25 pts from the next part off its falling fast MA.

The new low was at its MS 2 level, taking Dax down to its S 1 - 12 pts above yesterday's low.

Dow-wise - is this a "sell the rumour, buy the news" in front of the US data?.......TWT
