Hopefully a strong break of 238 will give us a nice BTD even if its short term

My scenario is some ranging here with a break to the downside like yesterday around this time

I think the Yankie Funds might be onto the Dax at NY Open, as the EUR/USD is very low today (1.113 atm), favourable for US investors. Dax is now more than 200pts below its high.

This may be a relief rally, but I think we may see more selling over the next couple of days due to the March prophecy.

For me, the failure after XO making a lower high and failing to break above the **25 SS was the signal to sell and there was another LH UNDER both the day's open and yesterday's close that confirmed the sell.

As usual for me (!) I did bank too early at yesterday's low, but then sold again and waited for a wide ranged higher volumed bar to bank again. Any fast MA helps remind me to stay short - here its the 21 LWMA

The lows are at the 38% retrace on the hourly chart, also a prior accumulation area, with the next area ~the 50% retrace. Now I expect a retrace into the Decision Zone (38% to 61%) with a half sized buy as price broke above the fast MA. Now a break until the US Session

Howzit Islander! Would you mind if I hijack your thread with a few of my DAX grabs?
In life you get 3 types of people, those who can count and those who can't.

Hi HP - fine to post them in my old thread, especially if they are not in real time - most here know where that is if they want to look too...

{quote} It was way overbought like 7 winning weeks in a row... Some people were betting on a retrace 2 days ago and here we are... Its profit taking and some shorting on the retrace but imo it wont keep on doing so for a long time... probably already draghi can push it up again with some fireworks
Thanks a lot Now I am still a noob but will keep trying to study more so I might get to be able to analyse the market like everyone else

Hi Islander,

Could you give me the link or share this Daily Range Indicator with us ? You seem always to have some nice MT4 features.

Thanks

{quote} What goes up, must come down - any market that moves this far from the 200 day moving average must sooner or later come back towards it. Il be surprised if this doesn't go all the way to the H4 100sma at 11,062. Whatever level it stops at, it's going to be a great buying opportunity.
Thank you I have traded in a pretty bad result now with all the futures, main of the reason is I am still lack of money management

But this should be the easiest part of trading - the market we have no control over, but our money we do. Determine how much you are willing to risk to find out whether you are right or wrong, which should be no more than 1 or 2% of your account, and stick to it as if your life depended on it.
