And the trading day hasn't even started!

DAX Futures Sept 18

Good call! I guess a trader should know when he can brake his own rules. We could probably see 400 today.

Thanks. It was actually doing ok, but things went downhill due to surprise news. Don't you hate it when some unexpected news change the profitability of an already planned and opened trade? Oh, well. It's part of the game i guess.

Good for you Brix. You did the right thing. I had two winning trades this morning and now stuck in a losing position. I'm going to hold overnight, but with the trade war news, etc. don't support it much.

I guess we have to be flexible and adapt risk-taking according to the current market conditions without emotions. Kind of like an algorithm.

Thanks! I do believe there's a chance we see 880 or 900 tomorrow or even today. However, catching falling knives is nerve-wrecking and i am done for today.

And out @ 12,848. A very sloppy entry and slightly sloppy exit.

Bought some at 12 834.5. Let's see how it goes.

Absolutely! For me it was tough, can't imagine what's it like for you. Having multiple entries, averaging, etc. You must have nerves of steel to endure this everyday! Tomorrow doesn't matter at the moment. What matters is to be profitable and flat ...

Hi again, Brix. Thanks for your replies and feedback. This is a wonderful and informative thread, sharing your ups and downs in real-time. Yes, i am still holding my 10 CFDs bought at 13,000.50 (with the spread). There's a bit of a rebound in the ...

Hi Brixen. I'm also stuck with a position at 13,000.Do you think this level would be revisited today or tomorrow?

DAX Futures June 2018

Thanks for the info. Dax seems scared from the suggested China tarrifs. Do you incorporate fundamentals in your trading, or is it technicals only? I for example used to trade intra-week trends(indicies) and even held positions up to two weeks/a ...

Considering that 95-99 % of the retail traders lose over the long term, a holy grail would be a system that has generated profit over a span of at least 2+ years from a sample of, say at least 500 trades. It would also need to have positive ...

What are the minimum requirements for a Holy Grail?

You are absolutely right! However, for someone working a regular job and trading on the side watching 10-20 instruments even for 2-3 set-ups might be an overkill (i used to track that many 3 years ago.) As stated above,and in my opinion, the best ...

Do you trade one or multiple instruments?
