International markets traders banter

Yeah this is the problem with intraday. The little intricacies are always changing. The DAX at the mo is just smokin'. Just out and out sweet spot for volatility but no sooner will you crack it, it will change. Believe me - have lost count 10 time over on how many times a repeatable pattern comes hangs around just so you get used to it then fades.

Yeah agree, You can see this in the equity curves of my system if tested over a longer period of time. This requires more frequent optimizations, on shorter windows....which in turn means you need to optimize more frequently...'perpetually optimizing....'

One thing i can't figure out about the Asian indices, is who is leading whom? I used to think that the HSI leads the SPI and the K200, but i don't have data for the Nikkei, so i can't be sure...OR is there no real lead at all???

All i watch are the SPI, the Kospi and the Hang Seng.

Today, right now we are following oil down - HHI then Kospi not helping. STW trying to hold up, and Shanghai.

But thats now.

Hey you can get Nikkei (SGXNK) and Shanghai (XINA50) data for free via the SGX in IB.

Done and dusted...:thankyou:....are they liquid enough to trade (checking)?

The XINA50 looks ok, but the NK looks a bit thin.

Geezus!! I'm feeling a little tenderised. Annoyingly I pick the top at 20200 but spewed it up way way too soon.

Where is SCM to tell me how to do it?

I've had 94 losing trades this week. What does that mean? nothing.

 

[CanOz]

Wow SCM, that's great considering the whipsaw volatility. :bowdown:Even experienced traders would struggle with this action. You must be very good at trading the DAX.

I could easily get a win rate like that but i would need a stop 1000 times less than my profit target! lol!
