Same except my short trade was 2 ticks off the high but on tiny volume because I was really worried about the top blowing off... big time!!

Did manage to add a little to it after the push down but wasn't in the mood for hanging on with size after the ride I was taken on on the open....

I was short this.....!!!



Nothing like a 160 point sweep both ways in 1 minute! :22_yikes::silly:

Wow, thats ballsy...

I usually don't get so keen to reverse, but i just couldn't help it when i saw bids getting hit so hard. Then just after it topped, they really got hit, and the price just hung there...that's when i hit it...a little late.

Practice, practice....

Rest assured TH - if I knew ahead of time I would. I'd even PM you first!

Until then I'll just humbly pay attention to the mkt and let it tell me. Though sometimes it lies to me

Today the DAX gapped open to 6980 ish, then after a bit, tested higher and higher towards 7000, finally 7005. I assume this is the locals bidding up the market in a test for buyers. Given that London hasn't opened yet, what are they trying to achieve? Are they trying to bid it up to 7000 to load up on shorts so when London opens they can unload a heap and get an early positive inventory? Whats the logic here? There is not allot of size in it, so I'm just guessing its the locals...

Who are the "locals"? Domestic German instos as opposed to overseas based institutions? How are their considerations different to overseas ones (aside from the FX effect)...
