{quote} Sorry, can never post whilst trading. Hit a couple of mini's (EU5) @ 9586 during pre-trade hour, +20 each. Hit another mini long @ 9604 during XO for 20, exit at Daily Pivot, appears to be resistance so far. Wouldnt be surprised if we finish lower today, given its friday. Good luck, I'm done for the week.
Understood - its very distracting posting whilst trading. Well done getting 20 - I've been hoping for a better rally, now taken a Patience Pill and watching the chop! - heading for more coffee

I made a mistake and failed to put in my SL and took a hit for 16 pts - IMO one of the problems when trying to post in real time and watch three monitors. So that's sufficient RT posting for me.

As posted: Monday 153 pts in 6 trades. Tues 135 in 4. Wed 120 in 7 and Thurs 120 in 6.....so trading the intra-day swings off the 1m chart CAN be profitable, although its hard work! BFN

Hi Islander,

I've been following D1 and your posts closely for 2-3 weeks now and I have to say I am speechless with your trades (both of you). I was wondering if you have posted either in this thread or somewhere else how you go about your entries. From your posts and charts I gather you watch daily pivots, fib, round number, special candles (pin bars etc.). I am trying to put it all together and would welcome any pointer/advice you might have.

Thanks

Thanks guys, enjoy your weekend too.

Just thought I'd post my views - I'm expecting NFP to be over 200k, which may hint of a possible rate hike by Dec 2015. Not sure how the market will react to that, as it seemed to drop upon news of a rate hike delay (in Sept) and in theory should drop on a rate hike (as investors shift from equities to bonds), nonetheless, I expect a spike on the announcement, possibly 20pts. Also thought I'd post the 1H chart, we have broken above 200sma, DPP and 50% Fib, so next level appears to be 9659.3pts (61.8%) - which is also below +150pts for the day so is achievable in my mind. Good luck!

Just thought I'd post a separate message here.

I have been trading with mini contracts lately (EU5 per tick) and as a result I have been getting much better returns. Just like battle, you throw in a couple of soldiers early to scout (targeting a higher TP) and if they hit the target then you have made decent money from taking less risk (Eg less margins / equity used). If the market momentarily moves against you, then you can add to your positions (improving the average position entry when compared to a full contract single entry).

I don't trade with SL's, I find the market too choppy to trade with SLs. If the market turns against me then I normally hedge, I often look at how the market price is reacting to the 7, 20, 200sma on the 1M; but that's just the way I trade and I thought I'd share this tactic with you all.

For entries, I tend to look at MACD, RSI's, the sma's, and the candlesticks.

For exits, I tend to look at MACD, RSI, the sma's, the candlesticks, DPPs, Fibs from previous swing high/lows.

Also, I check the German and World business news daily, economic data, financials on Dax companies a quarterly basis, and I'm probably more a fundamentalist than a technical analyst at heart.

morning, longs {image}
closed three +140 and open one short and remains two longs open, so now i can play with two longs and one short, if move up possible win some points, if move down also possible win. Also you can add positiones in one side, or both. Lot of posibilities.

Hi PariC, thank you for your input, also i sometimes use hegding like one more tool but the problem is the timing to undo the hegde, if not correct then we can have a problem. Personally to undo the hegde, i wait for a clear reverse, better in timeframe higher (15 minutes or more).

regards

Hi

Mini Dax will become available as from 28th October on Eurex, how are you trading them now? Do you mean CFDs?

Thanks
