{quote} Excellent entry and 200 full marks for holding, though I really can't understand why you didn't squeeze it out for an extra 12 pips up to R1
thanks. i think i have to obey to my rules. in this case, "exit with +200". i know you place your exit orders for technical reasons, and that is a good way - but not mine, at least with this strategy. i like to keep it simple (with etf). if i close cfd-orders manually, i look at technical reasons, too...

Hi deltaone

Very nice trading

Do you adjust your position size according to your SL ? (might sound stupid but just wondering )

just joking about the extra 12 pips - your overall strategy is excellent and I would be the last person to suggest anything different. As the old saying goes, ' if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

hi rooi,

thanks! thatīs not a stupid question. no, not in this case. i use to have higher risk tolerance with this event-driven trades because chances are good with my set-up to earn bigger profits on these days. but yesterday f.e., i decreased the amount when i got long dax with sl -20 (after the sell-off below 11.200) because it was not guided by news and my daily risk budget was nearly reached. more than 90% of my trades are same regarding the amount i risk (-10/30 dax = -20/60 dow due to the different contract value).

cheers!

our poll has been closed. 2/3 yes, 1/3 no. around 500 points left which is less than 5%. my question to the voters with a bullsih bias:
did that bias gave you profits in trading, or do you just think itīs possible and there is no influence on your short-term trading?

for me the answer is: yes, my bias helped me a lot in daytrading, and gave me several hundreds of points in the mid-term (etf/buy the dip)
