Quoting Fifth Axis
Hi D1, why are you trying to go long / counter trading instead of going with the stream ? You are also often counter trading with Daily pivots and S1. Why ? Is there more profit to make ? Or is it an advantage you have towards the other participants ? Thanks, 5th axis
please use the "quote"-function.

counter trading has a high likelihood for sucess with my setup, esp. during the last 2 hours on nyse. this session gave me no profit, except for the immediate reaction to the fomc-release (20:00-20:01 cet) which was +60 for me (to fast to post, but with announcement). the trades later were either +-0 or -20, summa summarum +40. of course this approach is not easy, but itīs my style and as long as iīm in constant profit on a weekly basis, i wonīt change. and again: everyone has to find itīs own way to success. no one should follow blindly anyone.

Can someone explain this selloff?
The US markets have been in a downward trend on H1 since 3 days. Trend means there are in general more sellers (or buyers). That tendency continues over time spans, meaning trends tend to continue more than they break.

Considering this, the positive FOMC news was a good opportunity to sell shares by large holders, as the news brought (retail) buyers into the market. Those non-professionals believe that news are the driver for price movements, so they bought at the positive news. A large seller would have his sell triggers and limits spread above the price before the news. As the positive news broke, price spiked up, buyers were filled until there were less and less of them. As all those buyers had acquired their positions, there was noone left who still wanted to buy, but still some selling. Price fell. Buyers found themselves in a losing position and in order so limit their losses they were forced to sell, creating even more downward pressure.

Mahlzeit.

If DAX holds around 10575 then I think that a move to 10650 and above is feasible. If it gives way then it will depend on 10,550 support. If that is lost then we could go 10,420 area.

Apologies if it's not that clear. (I didnt want to spend too long as i need to get some sleep lol)

575 and 550 provided great support previously, 650 acted as both support and resistance a number of times over past few days and is easy to spot on shorter term timframe like 10 or 15m. It is a bit easier to see these on the 10m chart but im not able to fit a long enough timespan in that is also easy to see.

The area around 10420 has a huge gap above it, which, once filled could be pretty supportive. We also have the trendline off of the Jan and June tops.

good morning,

first idea: gap-close (xetra-close was 10.710,97) - and trading the news, there are some today. one is missing on ff calendar: €zone business climate at 11:00 cet.

good luck!

good that 10,575 held in futures trading and it's now having a second attempt at cracking 10,650. Deutche Bank did better than expected which has helped/will help this morning.
