Sweet Jesus! What just happened there?
possible one factor is maturity options, the big boys are plenty of put options. if the price move up, put options sellers win and the big boys continues winning with their long positions( covered with put options). After the maturity options, a posibility is the market made pluffffff.
The only constant is change

What's your take on the DAX now? We've broken some key support levels. GREECE seems to be creating a lot of concern here...

yes possible Greece is relevent this week. Anyway important USA news in a few hours, so everything can change with a spark. For now my tradind plan for the next hours is like this.

This DAX move is very concerning. I have an open long at 11950, which is currently killing me.

As said above, depending on how you do your technical analysis, we've created a triangle at the bottom of this move (either regular or flat(ish)). After one or two falseys we've had already, we might see a break up/down soon.

Maybe put in a stop loss below 11750 or so, just to limit your pain if it goes against you further.

That's exactly what I need to do. Limit the pain. What's your target from here on? Nothing has changed fundamentally, and there remains a lot more room on the upside with the QE in my opinion.

No target just yet, I don't have an open position. I missed an earlier entry, so I'm going to Sit On My Hands and wait for the next.

hi, these days are very nervous and as time passes this space under your trade is filled with "fuel", so a option you can experimement is combine two types of stop, one a security stop loss clasic and other one based on time, for example, if the price hasn`t move after x candles , close the trade. The first occurs. And reenter is posible if you find another oprtunity.

I know the second we break 11834 - we could just as easily reverse this move down. But for as long as GREXIT is on the cards, and the Euro continues to strengthen, it does remain a pretty scary scenario.

Little did we know this time last week when Dax was climbing to the stars that we'd come down 700 pips...just goes to show that there's wisdom in the saying that the best time to sell is when everyone is long! I wonder how many people with open long positions are going to have a nervous weekend?! See you all next week

I'm probably one of them
Right now I'm just praying that we go back up to 12420
Hopefully once this the whole greek drama gets resolved we stand a better chance.
