I am still having serious doubts that we will end up for the day ... the way the USA traded yesterday does not seem to bode well to me: short-squeeze and ending at the low of the day ... so I am still holding shorts there in Dow ans S&P ... my opinion is the USA will drag down Dax with it later this afternoon ...

An ugly resistance zone is waiting ahead once price falls 9500: It's a barrier between 9480 <---to---> 9466 therefore I am hesitant to go short.. maybe a scalper..

yeah, basically I somewhat got the same view if just would look at the dax without the USA, it's the bigger worldwide context that made me go short ... moved my stop to be now ...
also it's the second inside bar that broke on the downside in the 15M chart ... that gave me a better technical context ...

I see... yeah I have the mini-dow here and I see it has some 140 points room to test the 17.000 again.. could pull dax with it..

Btw... could you try to use to the "Quote" button please.. most of the time we cannot understand who you are referring to..

Price neither can climb above 9511 nor fall below 9480.. I think FOMC will be the real judge of the day.. coffee time for me..

In 30 min. we will have USA red news.. once dow moves dax might move too..

{quote} the best words...if U want to be RICH in one year or etc...forget it. I was doing well, my EGO went sky high in August, I felt like a ROCK in two weeks, lost money like crazy.. I believe every day You need to be humble to the market and appreciate everything what U get from market and thank God. Also spending time with trading on daily base, learning and forums like this are very helpful. Good Day to everyone.

Not sure how one can being doing well and then lose everything in Two weeks? If you use a set percentage per trade and lose 20 trades in a row, you should still be fine. Make that set percentage 1% or even 0.5% and you would have lost between 7 and 15%... So unless you have no clue on using MM, you should never be able to blow your account, Bad period or not

Read his post again, he never said he lost everything. Your comments regarding MM are appreciated, but I'm sure he is using it.

Edit: sorry, off-topic.

In my overall point of view I am still bearish. As you can see there is not much bull power. The big trend still wants to head south because there is so much unfinished business. Russia is also in big trouble. Oil prices are suffering and economy in many countries try to get ready for upcoming difficulties.

9550 area is a very important level.. even if price climbs up higher sooner or later we will come back here, or.... maybe price can't even climb up above 9550 even after FOMC and we just continue the downtrend.

Long story short: bulls.... be careful!!!
