normally, i donīt advice anyone how to trade. but i think it is not wrong to say this:

NEVER EVER trade on margin without SL, especially on a day like this when high vola is expected: expire date + political events.

sorry for those who took losses. i wish you good luck for the next trade!

D1 - If the Euro tanks to new lows (say 1.07 against the USD), what target would you put on the Dax?

further euro devaluation is likely, maybe parity eurusd within the next 12 months. my goal for dax is unchanged: 12.000 this year, 13.200 in 2016.

edit: this is one of the reasons why im still long only with my stocks portfolio: no sl, no tp, no protective put. dividends are increasing (look at mr and swiss re f.e.)

Agree completely, I see far too many people bragging about never using a stop loss, even though that sort of spike doesn't happen everyday, but with the eurozone finance meetings going on, and after the extreme volatility of yesterday, nothing is too much of a surprise. Thanks to deltaone for giving the heads up on the single stock and dax options expiring today!

Luckily not D1. I make sure I have sufficient funds at all times for something as insane as this.

I see Dax at 9000 before 12000 this year. There is something in the air, trust me. Just my opinion.

hi danvilman,

i have no sl for that position, but i do have a risk budget for this strategy (maximum loss in €). itīs an unleveraged, so called deltaone product (linear price function of dax). if market go against me, i will add every -200 points - an order for the same initial amount. last in, first out every +200 points.

youīre welcome. no open positions atm, waiting for a signal, but not so ambitious, +120 points with a singel trade are extreme rare for me.

Hello D1,

congrats to Your trade..and Your explanation of trading wthout SL is corrct, since I trade with SL I feel better even I got hit this time, I was short, but it hurts less then 150 points against me like if it would be just 30 points this time...
Also all this Greece and politicians and etc..is giving really opportunity to understand SL and use them rather minus 30 a day then account is gone.

Have a nice weekend all.....
