HSI freaks must be having fun with the 1300 pt range!

Read a rumour that Trembling Hand was net short after Christmas and has now returned to his humble existence living in a tent at Byron Bay.

:cuckoo:
 
Any of you fellas in on or observe the nice smooth buying action in the circled bit before the breakout?
Hope it repeats more often.
Makes the HSI that little bit more trader friendly with less of this:cry:

That image gives a pretty accurate description of the condition of most of my trading accounts this year! Caught short and long on the DAX too many times to remember. I've bailed on longs when I should have held, held onto shorts when I should have bailed.

I think I need to improve my analysis by investment in some superior technology!

Has anybody got a spare "two up" penny that I could borrow?
(With the aid of such advanced technology, I could expect to make the correct call approximately half the time! This would represent a dramatic improvement on my year to date performance.)

Not much help here Cynic, sorry... I think Sam gave best description for DAX: It's like being in a cage with lion. You never know when it's going to rip your head off.

I do believe there are more rewarding opportunities on DAX than HSI (considering they seem to be two craziest indexes around as far as i know...) but understanding the beast is a challenge to put it modestly.

The DAX and HSI are surprisingly similar. Not exactly the same but close enough to feel like I can see my way around. The Dax doesn't have the nasty 100-150 point sweeps like the HSI which is welcome. Because the book is a bit thicker it seems to cascade more once it gets nasty which leaves room for your stops to be hit with nowhere as gnarly slippage if your are on the wrong side. Pattern wise there seems to be very similar faces popping up.

I'm liking the DAX a lot from what I have done on it but thats not surprising after how stale I was towards the end of last year. Amazing what a good holiday can do for your wallet. :D

The bonds aren't as bullish as i was thinking they might be, i heard there was a long Que to cover....

I never traded the DAX before the cash opened, always seemed too illiquid, do you trade before the cash opens TH?
