{quote} Hi Dutchy! Do you trade such breakouts with an limit or per market order? Thanks
80% of my trades are Market orders. I don't care for one or two ticks less profit on my entry.

US markets are a little heavy.
Trump hang over already?

FOREX:
The developments over the last few days, including the strident tones of the inauguration speech, the dispute of the number that attended the inauguration, and the nearly incoherent speech to the CIA may be a small hint to investors of the unpredictable nature of the new US President.

DAX has a GAP to close up to 610/615 zone. Not today I think. No prediction. Just a feeling.

Once we get/stay below 11.560/550 zone DAX could dive to the last Week Tuesday POC @ 11.475 zone
11.500 is the -1% from Friday close.

Thanks Dutchy, agreed on all points. Also with your previous comments on the reasons why the market could turn south. I think the market underestimated till now how uncertain the times are. And uncertainty means first we sell then we see how things are and maybe we buy. We dont first buy hoping the best case scenario materializes...

DAX Long @ 522 COUNTER.
Overbought. To far away from my SLOW MA line(s)
Target 550 zone

T1 +11p x 2 lot
1 lot to go.
SL BE last lot.
FLAT BE last lot.

Can stil drop to that N POC @ 11.0475
If the price gets there I will look for Long again.

No news today except waiting for Trump Tweets.
Depends what US markets are gone do today.

Well.... one thing is sure. We will see some nice Trump rollercoaster moves the coming Months. (whatever direction they will be)
That will keep us busy!

Probably up first and then down. Trump will bring us volatile roller coaster days. They used to be on Thursdays but should be more often now

Trump seems to be Trump, a businessman who always enrich oneself (& often with outside capital).
Let's see if CIA could verify one of these days that he manipulated regularly the exchange with his twitter statements and other actions...
...by participating over "third parties".

brinkmanship?
...but I don't understand why the Germans started so much tv-discussion over trump, before doing so.
Let's give him a chance and take a look some months later and/or two years later, what he has allthing realized.
Don't forget that America has (s)elect him, that he should make politics in another way, ...in a break from tradition.

DAX tries to close the Friday GAP @ 615
Friday POC @ 608

DAX can still go up for the Friday POC and GAP, but MA lines are Bearish now and we have fresh singles down to 555 zone

Flat +10p 1 lot only.

If US drops later, the DAX will cover those single TPOs down to 555 (Today open)

Dutch and German newspapers:

A group of lawyers specialized in ethical issues, will sue the new president of the United States. The indictment is based on the fact that the companies of Donald Trump do business with foreign powers.
According to the lawyers, it is in violation of the U.S. Constitution as the company of the president receives payments from other Governments. Under the lawyers are also former legal assistants of the White House.

I think it will only be a matter of time.. We can take advatange of his mouth this year to buy the dips and short the pops. His mouth will create buying and selling opportunities
