I'm a bit frustrated. Everytime I leave the desk, suddenly I miss a large move, lets say 60 points.
And when I stay, I'm stuck in range mode and close losing ones early.
I don't get it.
How do you manage not to miss large moves ?
Whatever the mind can conceive, the mind can believe, the mind can achieve.

good morning, i still believe in the buy the dip scheme: bought again a dax etf position because we have -200 points from the last high. tp +200 = 10.100 but i allow myself to take shorts again today. good luck!
sold my last dax etf position: tp hit. +200

some use signal alerts, some use news alerts per email/sms. i think islander might help you with more infos about that (i don´t use any)

Assuming QE is announced, do you see the DAX below 10,000 in the near future?

no. even if so, only temporarily - and i will buy that dip if it´s there.

hmm ok. I have seen predictions ranging from 8800-11,000 so there are many pips to be made or lost. I just wonder if the QE is a case of everying buying the rumour and factoring it in, and then we get a big sell off soon after it actually gets announced.

that´s possible, but unlikely. qe is a game changer. look at dow/s&p after first qe.

When it was announced, it rallied for a couple of days before selling off to a price lower than before. When the QE was actually started it gained several % and then gave back all gains + more.

1) that´s likely - and that´s why i´m bullish in the short run
2) that´s possible - and if so, i will add more stocks to my portfolio because that dip you described was a great opportunity to buy (and i missed it, one of my biggest mistakes in finance). there are no alternatives for investors: cash has no interest, investment grade government bonds are no better, gold has no interest/dividends, real estate is illiquid and expansive referring to the cash flows - so what do you think pensions funds will buy?

i´ve bought the first tranche in october, and it´s @+18%:

Wow 18% is impressive! Regarding the ECB QE, as it's now being treated almost as a certainty, the QE may be nearly fully priced in, so maybe there will be a short spike (like the inverse of what happened on Thursday) when announced and then a fall to low 10,000's?

thanks. as an ex-banker i should at least know which stocks are worth a buy

buy the rumor, sell the facts? possible, but likely? something i think about is the following:
what if ecb is not only announcing qe = 500 billion (what will meet there goal to increase ecb balance sheet to 1 trillion?) i mean, qe but without limit? that will be "whatever it takes" + " belive me, it will be enough". also an increase of negative interest rates is possible (like snb did - not the same figure but let´s say -0,25%?)

http://www.ecb.europa.eu/home/html/f...trates.en.html

don´t forget draghi is an ex-goldman - he definitely understands what markets want him to do, and he knows this is his last shot. i think it will be the bazooka.

Thanks for your reply! Maybe I'll have to wait for the week after for a drop when Greek election results come out.
