{quote} Daily high here 11016.5 - definite variation between brokers as always!
And the worst part is this difference changes every day.. also not to forget to mention the different dax versions on different brokers can lead sometimes to misunderstandings in signal posts where you tell you entering on Fdax let's say 9550.. but that point is for another variation of Dax at 9565 for example.. and then we have so much confusion among thread members who act based on these values.. really annoying.. anyway I always add my daily high if I share targets signals etc. I recommend everyone here they do it too..

Happy Trades

{quote} Have faith. My worst case scenario for shorts is to close 10,930-40 range but I am sure will see lower.
I think I missed an opportunity to exit at 10950.... Not sure if we'll see some de-risking/selling before the Greek meeting with ECB, etc on Monday morning. It will be interesting to see what happens in Ukraine over the next couple of days. Keeping a very close eye on German news.

I am still holding short. Maybe it will cost me but it's all part of learning. If it keeps going up then I will hedge with longs. Also, it looks like there is a strong possibility of the ceasefire being broken given that fighting has escalated last night and new vehicles may have entered from Russia.

I think all we have is a few skirmishes in Ukraine now and that will halt soon, it shouldn't impact markets going forward.

Hi Ata - this problem comes up often and delta1 initially asked us to define what we were trading - cash or futures. IMO, its simpler to put the time of our entry
based on a 1min chart. That way any person reading the thread can see the entry on their own chart and relate the move to their chart and the number of points / ticks gained or lost.

Sunday IG chart. {image}
Where exactly is this from and what does it represent? I can only find the normal Germany 30 chart that closed Friday night at 10,984.7. Is there some other way that the price is influenced when I thought all markets are closed?

Oh ok. Pity it's not showing on the website. How can they trade at this time though? Surely all markets are shut until Sunday evening UK time when Asia opens.

Edit: I've found this: http://www.ig.com/uk/sunday-trading

It appears that Sunday trading is separate from normal weekday trading and I imagine the volume will be ridiculously low but I suppose it's very useful if big news comes out that you could take advantage of.

Hello,

hope everyone has good weekend, here in Slovakia we got finally a little warmer 5 celsius, very happy for it after long time.
There is a critical thing this week of Greek BS( sorry for my english ) because they are playing funny, they borrowed money and not lets say..I will pay just half..who will pay rest of it??
Nothing against any person from that country, I have a fantastic friend in Kifisia in Athens, love island Mykonos...but politicians are the one who will decide and make always decisions for their " voter " same like separation of Czechoslovakia...what a BS who lost..people...

Marcel

just my opinion

Your solution solves the entry price issue but the "pending order" issue is still there.. The real problem occurs when we share a pending order. To solve this issue I am planning to always add my daily high or daily low (the highest high or the lowest low of the day where I am declaring my pending order). This way people who also want to put a pending order can compare their highest highs or lowest lows with mine and thereby easily figure out the difference.

Yup. Seems rather quiet for now - The news from Copenhagen and the ceasefire haven't moved the markets much. Expecting the DAX to test 10950 level again before a move to the upside.

Hardly surprising. Sunday afternoon will just be a minuscule number of retail traders so the volume will be tiny. What price are you getting for the $DAX atm?
