I actually thought the HSI would do a similar thing today. Probably will now but I'v been bullied like a freckled redhead at a S&M convention. :whip 80 contracts in the first hour......and I am......... NOWHERE. (except with a headache!)




 

frustration...TH.

Just looked at the HS, very choppy trading. positive in that is a good end result! thinking of trying a few trades on it but i will spend some time watching it for a while.

other issue i am using IC Markets spread is 8 pts... HS seems to have no issues running 50 plus point though.
 
I've taken a big (calculated) risk on open.

2 x short in the first minute or so @ 6449, stop 6461 - 24 points risk total. More than usual, but not at all impulsive.

Both stops to 6554 now so maximum 10 point loss.


I figure with this volatility around, the chance to nail an entry on open has big pay-off. Last night I probably lost 100 because I only took the one on open.
 
Started out okay today, then cash opened and the whipathon begun, control oneself, controolllllll! Twitching.....finger... :freak3: :dunno:

Need to velcro my hands down away from my mouse. Have tried to stay calm and get a good spot to put a trade on in the direction of what I expect to happen. Lets see...

 
About time I did something right...ish. It worked! A little tooo well

Damn it's hard to hang on to the dax once in a trade, got a big issue with trigger finger, because of the way it moves I feel like I need to jump on now or miss it altogether, then it'll go to my original entry anyway

I need some patience....and I need it NOW!!

 
Whilst this downtrend has been immensely entertaining for a short term shorting strategy I've been playing with on a Forex account, it's been causing my grail some annoyance.

I'll be interested to see if the DAX yet again decides to spring another surprise upswing towards the 10,000 level.
 
Darn it re-entry x 2.

6447.5, stop 6454.5, both taken out in a couple of minutes.

Down 17.5 points.

I didn't adhere to my own rule of having the stop 2 ticks above the high, not one. Would have saved me there.



I'm not letting this deter me.

Short again x 2.

6449, 6455.

If I get taken out here, it will put me down about 30.



Happy with my trading.
Just that 1 bloody tick on the 2 positions I took for the second trade.
 
High around 55, top of potential triangle.

Last entries were 6449 x 2.

Waiting to see if this forms a triangle and then breaks.
 
DAX was nice and rocky on the LON open. i was nailed nicely on a buy. traded my way back to a positive day but i have to really work on holding my trades. main weakness i have atm.

Sam try the 5 min on the DAX i started on the 1 min but found it moved way too fast.
 
Ended up short at 46 on my second attempt.

Nope just my fav number. But as he rode with my fav number I followed him a bit and was watching that race.
