It is none of my business but markets are constantly shaking off both buyers and sellers... it is all about timing and location. Not to mention bias. Very difficult to trade this way, up and down.

Last 2 contracts taken out at break even. All in all, still a bit rusty and really dislike daytrades but it's ok to get a thrill here and there.

Thank you if you're being genuine. But, I have a sense that you are not, so then maybe the age from your nickname has something to do with it. Besides, if you know what are you doing, losses are also part of the game... but not big losses, only small ones. Also, you don't have to be right at all but if your management is sound you minimize those losses as well. But, hey... you are smarter then me. Very smart...

KISS off the 1m chart, using an MA as a filter and signal line with volume as an alert and TVI for divergence.

Knowing when NOT to trade is important too and as its now 5pm in Germany with a 220 pts range today, its time for a beer....

PS apologies that this is not RT, just for info....too stressful to post and trade....

After such a powerful surge it is going to take a long time for the market to get back into some sort of balance. I tend to watch 170 SMA on m1 as one of my preferred equilibrium points, waiting for price to come back to that, which is similar to AO on m5............... True enough the ability to short is useful for hedge funds and cfd traders, however at the end of the day I suppose it's our pension funds which are suffering............
