Funny how all correlations went to shit. DAX at daily highs, DOW at daily lows, S&P unchanged. FTSE going up along with GPB???? Just wtf is going on? Pre-FoCM capital transfer? It's like 180 turn.
I was also always trading the neg. correlation between DAX and Gold, it worked for weeks/months like a charm, now it's just fucked

Indeed. Took a 20876.5 long at 20.40 with stop at breakeven. Keeping it until the close.

Hello Deltaone!
Are you staying overnight or closing your pos just before the market closes?
Thanks...

hi elpipo,

no overnight-risk for me (with leverage), so i closed in green. no one can foresee next days opening price - pure speculation...

trade long and prosper

As this is your first post, I thought I should honour you and try to be helpful.

I rarely ever hold trades overnight, but here's an example from the 2 March after the making of the high of the year.

The 23.6% retracement of the opening rally of the month didn't produce a strong continuation, and I took a short at 12079.5 (red segment).

When the US session headed south I set stop to breakeven and let it run, set the 38.2% level as target, and woke up with 70 points in the bag.

And that would be the kind of situation to hold a position overnight as a day trader - it's well in profit and going in the right direction.

PS: If you wonder about how the Fibonacci levels were drawn - the bottom level is the Eurex futures opening level, which is a level to keep an eye on.

Thanks a lot for this explanation... I have been trading currencies for too long and need new adventures :-)... Just moved to Berlin and starting a new life as a day trader... I have often stayed overnight/over weekend with currency trading. Staying in for a whole month sometimes... So I have some stuff to learn (still :-) )...
Thanks for your time...

i´ve never traded tecdax-products. one can trade tecdax either via cfd or directly at eurex.
