hi , i have read and listening some news about Mrs Angela Merkel has some important problems in his political party due the crisis of Syrian refugees and maybe her political career is over in the next days or weeks. This "earthquake" could be a catalyst...for some financial asset. Please I would like to know how plausible are these news. What do you think?

thank you

...news are like monkeys - they jump everywhere.
Information? - What sort of ones? - Which parties has an interests of its publishing?
Most of them seems exclusively black-and-white painting.
What else is new?

Hi Fxcube, Yes I agree, but that does not mean, knowing that news move or drive public opinion, can not used in our favor.

hi LS,

trying to answer your question without political bias (i have one, but this is irrelevant):

yes, there are many in CDU/CSU who are definitely not happy with the actual situation at all. but this makes it not likely for merkel to resign. donīt forget she studied physics and is the most efficient political tactition. she knows very well she is the most likely next chancelor (gabriel has no chance at all, except if a left wing coalition including the ex-communists could be formed after the next election) and that if there would be earlier elections now, the likelihood for the right wing AfD is relatively good to be a part of the bundestag, taking a lot of CDU/CSU-voters away - which is clearly not in the interest of the CDU/CSU-members sitting in the bundestag right now. i think the likelihood of a resign is below 10%

IF there will be a resign, market impact might be huge - but it is unlikely.

{quote} Why do everyone target 20-30 pip? I prefer riding the trend down when the initial risk is small, and than lock in profit as we go. How do you guys trade?
Not "everyone" here targets 20 - 30 points - FYI pips are a Forex term - here we use either Points or Ticks, check out Investopedia for definitions.

Taking one trade an hour for a 20 point profit would earn a trader 170 points a day during Xetra hours. Both Deltaone and I have demonstrated many times, in real time, how these small profits add up.

Perhaps you could show us how your suggestions work - in real time. I am always happy to look at new ideas

Regards

Could not agree more. For my part I am very content with 20 - 30 points a day let alone 170. I supposed it depends on your point value. Trading long term trends up and down sounds great but very few do it with any real success as you need "cojones" to sit through the inevitable drawdowns

I am not suggesting that I trade all day - very much the opposite. I have said many times that knowing when NOT to trade is also important. I am content with a couple of hours in the morning and a further couple of hours in the afternoon - US Session.

The last two hours being a good example.....there were 5 x 1min lower highs ~the opening of the US Session - the US Bond pits in Chicago. Even the lowest of those offered 30+ pts into yesterday's closing level.....and that's without looking for higher volumed dojis / pins

Then waiting with patience and discipline for a higher low which eventually came ~today's DP for another 30+ points back up to ~ the 76% retrace and that's my afternoon's target hit - back to my book
