{quote} I have a different broker, but it's a retail broker like yours, mine is listed under "spot indices" as "Germany 30" in my symbols menu. I had to look for it.
Activtrades only has future cfd contracts. Just found it on Pepperstone, they are quite close now (dec - cash). Nice run up, would that break the floor now in EU? Sold GU too at 40, sl 11 pips. Or might bail out all 3 when pl=0.

Closed all, +6 eu, +16 uj, +4 gu. Really don't know what I want to do today. Offset some earlier loss in uj +some profit, but maybe I shouldn't be trading today, I just hit random trades.

What if it's gonna range through the whole day? (hope not)
Mondays it usually does.
To me they need to go firmly below 15-25.

Btw. divergence on RSI m15 (early phase).

Maybe GU is a better play today. It hasn't followed EU big fall but usually it does with some delay. Downside after 5330 is clear till 5270 for a quick one if it decides to drop soon.

sl @be now 5347. Gonna close half at 5270 if we get there, though it might just be ranging and take my sl.

Closed half at failure to break 5330 sup for a few times now. Rest sl at be+1, tp 5165 (or 5320 more likely ). sl hit, made (1+13)/2=7 pips on this one, not bad.

{quote} lookin for a failure of that test. DAX future is starting to fill the gap and cash is still holding and slowly creeping up....EURUSD down. USDX just needs a few ticks follow through and we may see 1.0995 in a few minutes ////////////////////////// Was thinking about taking off my short at 30 but will hold, so either BE or under 1.10...just getting another sell sig from a diff indie now so holding. covered at 346 so plus 3.2 AND reversed long at 338 //////////////////////// DAX has double topped down and cash/future spread is minimal, looks...
Out of pure curiosity, which indie gave you sell sig around 25?

Bought at 38, sl 10 (just below 1m 100sma). 2nd run up on 30m to break the ribbon. If it fails then only shorts later.

40 top OR, m1 and m5 were overB. I hope they won't hit your stop.

Waiting solemnly for sl now, bought for breakout which didn't happen. Gave myself a bonus of 2 pips (sl now 26) just in case sl hit.

This thing I found early last week, a day before the fall...I tweaked the settings and it locks on to trends but gets trashed in a tight range...I found it on mt4/5 site...I'll try to find the page and get more info on it, you can then look through the code, from a glance, it uses a weighted avg and macd as the triggers.

The arrows are cross currency confluence indies that I made. As you can see, right now the sigs conflict, but when they are together....

I changed the name of the indie last week and can't find the original page...I look for it some more. It does not repaint.

intraday and couple days...

Now it's got me thinking...should've waited to add on longs. The sell line was/is still active...

Other than me putting stops too close *and one mixed signal, my buy/sell ARROWS have not failed me this morning, so I'm still long, will reverse on opposing signal.

My longs got trapped and ate this mornings profits. The dangers of suddenly NOT trading with tight stops looking for a HR.

I reversed to short at 23 hopefully not chasing it.

Bit the bullet there and did not short after checking rsi (friendly recommendation ). Still not sure there is much space up due to 200/100 res on the 1m. sl is at 10, tp 73. If no breakout above 30 in the next few min I will close at be or about -1/+1.

Well done, learning fast
That 25 was also perfect short scalp.

USDCHF is hot, wondering why EU resists so much...

Closed +1. Did not like the 1m bar coming down so fast.

Maybe due to eur/chf longs.

Sold 18 due to dax & chf (had it removed from charts). Expecting quick move down or will close manually at 26. Might be at bad timing due to us open in a few though.

Tried to fight my system again with those longs

Good decision, I'm selling the bounces, will stop when I see indication of strength. Getting mixed sigs atm.
As wrote earlier 15-25 is critical.

Back in biz. Now bid at 9/10. That funky ma/macd hybrid line indi, it's scary ON sometimes with these trendy moves, but awful in ranges, not accurate to the minute or 5mn but nails trends.

before it gets to that levels it will go 1030-35 many times my friend 1000 is a very big bouncing level and at that moment it barely reaches 04 where are early bouncers

Yeah, I can see that now on the 1m. Anyway trade is free now so might take the half at 1004 if it retouches and bounces there and let the rest on the hunt.
