DAX dropped hard today. I had a few good trades out of the few bounces and drops that took place. Out for now. Best to short spikes and bounces. Numbers in Asia are bad and in America they are not good either.

We're back at S2 and the weekly low. I would expect some recovery from this level.

A good break of 15900 should give a large drop

Hi everyone,

Juste a small question, why the choice of DOW instead of SPX500 ? (spread, commission, required margin, ...?)

Thanks in advance and nice day for all

Yes generally if you trade the S&P you will take bigger lots with less swing... the Dow and Dax offer smaller lots but more movement... depends on your trading style which would be more suitable.

{quote} I find the emotions of trading the most difficult thing to conquer. It does not matter how many years experience you have you develop fears of innumerable things that cloud your judgement. I record these so I can later analyse what I need to change in my belief system to enable me to be a better trader. This was a classic example of fear dominating action. As a result I left lots on the table. Anyone with good suggestions of works to read on this feel free to pitch in. I am ting to read hidden gaps and supply zone stuff. Again if...
Check our old thread - I copied Hidden Gap's latest post about Supply and Demand.....

If you want big movement one might also consider the Japanese Nikkei JPN225,..
offers huge swings and very large daily ranges, often nicely correlated with the other indices,

however it's quiet a wild untamed horse though,..
if you're in for a wild ride one might give it a try,
definitely worth some investigation, on a demo first pls.
Trade what you see not what you think,..happy trading

BoJ just sent all Equities flying, and JPY plummeted. Wish I had some trades on!

At the Monetary Policy Meeting held today, the policy board of the bank of japan decided to introduce "Quantitative and Qualitative Monetary Easing (QQE) with a "Negative Interest Rate" in order to achieve the price stability target of 2 percent at the earliest possible time

I just bought the Nikkei on retracement for a very very quick long trade for +50. In and out. And now as I type this, all the markets have fully retraced back to where they started. Even the Dax spiked after-hours by 120pts and dropped back completely.

So, 2mins later, I re-entered for another long trade on the Nikkei for another quick +50. I don't think these trades were longer than a minute in the market each.
