{quote} Don't forget options expire on 18th if this month which is next Friday. The day that options expired in Japan this month Japan saw its largest gains since 2008. It was milked up almost 8% to where every short got caught and squeezed out along with every stop loss order being hit. Probably safest to trade now around Monday the 21st of this month when new contracts open up. If you take the high of this contract period and low then divide by two you get around 1990 for the SPX500. DAX30 usually goes along with the market in America
thanks

Not only Index Options, but also Index Futures and Stock Options - its called Triple Witching, making it a real "Freaky Friday"

In Monday most of the trading in Index Futures "rolls over" to the next futures contract - the December Contract.

Do we get the same happeneing in the Dax? - I'm not certain how active its Options Markets are....

Bearish start to the day especially being a Friday (EoW) and EUR up. Bottom of the upward trend line is approx. 10160 (attached below), I think we'll get there at some stage during the day but not sure if it will rebound or smash through it. I have some concerns with Indices next week as we lead up to US Fed Res Bank's rate decision (18 Sept).

Price is currently at the mid point of this week's trading range ~10,340 and also at the descending 5m T/L across yesterday's lower highs. I have my first support ~10150 / 60

Weekly seems indifferent, monthly also & daily could go up or down. Excellent aspects for some Hedging ones. DAX, Long @ 10'205 (5x) DAX, Short @ 10'205 (5x) I think that the DAX is ranging around +/-200-500 ...& maybe I'll execute some scalping trades here and there. FXcube
