{quote} Congrats for pips. I admire Your holding position during weekend. I am still in stress to hold positions in Euro and DAX during weekend. My thought is that level 11830 is another possible stop before we will go to 12000, but also S&P is in almost all time highs, so if ( IF ) they will try to pullback, maybe DAX will go down. My opinion and my view is to go down till end of this week. Just my opinion. Good Luck to everyone
Thanks Capetown,
I'm more a kinda fundi a. and event driven trader. Don't usually go overnight though.
On friday there was the german parliament's vote on Greece but no reaction on Dax. Next should have come the first aid and their banks reopening. So I decided to hold the long.
in any case I believe Dax is still long and could go again over 12000. 11800 resistence could remain in play for some time though.
Happy trading, my friend.

Eur usd looking to start a slight move up, so can expect Dax to start dropping - IMHO. Will look for sell opps (11740 - 11750 looks like a good spot)

watching the 1hr 100 sma for possible buy opp - around 11690 - more than likely be a quick scalp

Edit - also looking at the 11722 level for short entry

Sir, I wouldnt recomand buying dax today, I will look for pullbacks to sell. However i wont be surprised if we see a hard fall in DAX.

I suggest no special levels, look left for structures and possible targets, I do not see any moves to the upside today. Only potential shorts.

I have been waiting almost 24 hours for my short target to hit and dont like the silence of DAX going on. To me it symbolize indecision and can be a volatility bomb ready to explode.

I will await London open to consider new positions in DAX.

Fully agree - but always nice to grab some scalp pips while looking for selling opps. US opens in 5 min see if it has some reaction with the DAx

If you say so sir. I stay on one side to minimize risk, taking trades only from specified levels, there are really tons off opportunities every day in the market, if i can minimze exposed risk, i can increase trading size.

The market will respond to my trades also tomorrow.

DAX fell right off as anticipated however i had no position due to the price not being in favored area.

Thanks and happy trading

Now I see exhaustion in very low time frame but in medium time frame DAX remains to the downside. my guess is A: consolidation until London open where i will have new clues. B: continuation to the downside.

Keep your exposure at minimum is my recomandation, a scalp entry for longs will provoide low risk but also low probability. Shorts will leave you with high risk but decent probability, neither suit my style of trading.

Can I ask how you minimise your exposure as you last trade you held almost 24 hours to hit your target?

{quote} Can I ask how you minimise your exposure as you last trade you held almost 24 hours to hit your target?

I was exposed for almost 24 hour, but there was no significant risk i was exposed to. The Stop where tight, if i where to short at this time my risk exposure would be great as i don't see any reason to jump into a trade if you think your stop will hit.

Only position i will consider after such a down move is a reversal trade if there are good clues that the market will reverse, which i suggest there isnt at this time.

New shorts will be considered after Tokyo session if there are still no signs of a reversal.

EDIT: In the post you quoted i stated risk exposure and not market exposure, just to clarify

Happy trading
