Morning Cat, I was long earlier as I managed to scoop a few mini entries when it dipped on pre-trade open, but I was with you, it was hugging the 200sma on the 1m as if it was ready to drop. Hopefully during Xetra open we may get a nice dip for another long entry.

Morning mate! We are currently bumping our heads up against the H1 200ema, and I'll be surprised it we get much higher than this today, but of course it's the Draghi show later, so anything can happen.

GM - so far this morning price has risen up to my first target - a S&R zone from last week's PA, with the 61% retrace just above at 10,193. The 76% retrace is at 10,265 with a cluster of daily POC levels including a Virgin POC at 10,241 so I would expect these levels to be hit today - barring dissapointing input from Signori Draghi. TWT

Note: The 5 day ADR has now fallen back to 192.....last Thursday it peaked at 460! and so the endless cycle of expanding and contracting volatility continues.

Got that one wrong - now I'm looking at the 76.4% @ 10,267 which is also R1 to perhaps halt this, but apart from that, with H1 200ema broken, H4 is looking pretty bullish up to 10,400 or so.

DAX, Short @ 10'060 (x10)
Hey Forexcube,

Just curious are these 40 short contracts that you have open/live the standard contract size (Eg EU25 per tick per contract)? Hope you get a sell down to cash these trades in...

I got caught on the wrong side of this trade today. Kudos to the Bulls here who made good money on today's pop. I got a pop in the face with this pop today and exited today's trace with a loss. This week was great till today. Try again another day.

Yep, that happens sometimes

I see we have very different pivots. I have today's DP at 10,070 - which I've checked manually on my contract - with R1 at 10,179 and R2 at 10,234. I guess we are using different contracts?

PS Looking to buy this pull back ~my MR2 at 10,206.....if PA etc confirms....

I would think that a stop loss kicked in on those contracts.

I have two DPs, one at 10,090, and the other at 10,093. Actually, I'm a bit annoyed with myself for missing the upmove because I had a perfect green light to go on the 30 sec chart but didn't take it because I allowed the higher time frames to dictate my decision, which is a habit I used to fall prey to a lot but which still creeps into my trading from time to time. Better to go with a signal if it looks good rather than sit and wait to see if it would have been. As Wayne Gretzky, the famous Canadian ice hockey player once said - " you miss all the shots you don't take " .

No positions atm, too early to short and too late to long

Same here. But if Draghi later will say something about further QE this can skyrocket.
