Thanks. I think it's clear. It looks like your bank calculates your account value (or margin) once a day using the settlement price and not the mark-to-market price in realtime. Correct?

the expansion on the daily would indicate a 13600 zone in 14K cracks. Very bad scenario, perhaps not today. I'm a believer and managing a net long position too. Same boat with you

When you have the time, I'm not sure I understand what you mean exactly. Are you referring to your margin or to the calculation of your profit and loss or else?

gap closed. we're free to fall now.

DAX Futures June 2022

Yes, getting ugly. But comes after a few up days so we might even close at the lows and still be up for the week. so, caveat empor

I have 413 as new reference and it's holding so far.

DAX Futures June 2022

However, losing 430 I'll be probably short down for 300

DAX Futures June 2022

almost the same 560 530 500 480 450 420 - 400 as brn 380

agreed

DAX Futures June 2022

Having some time off the screen and sharing family and freeing your mind for the next battles: wise decision. I'm probably going to follow in your steps.

DAX Futures June 2022

indeed

I'm probably going to wait until '900 to start building a position. So much negative stuff is being pushed on news outlets that I think this won't be a quick crash and pop of 1-2 hours. Perhaps we'll recover some in the afternoon.

Vacation? LOL perhaps I should take one. I was a little detached from the DAX in the last few days. Only light trades and well spaced in between

Hey Brixen. Just a quick hello from me. It's been a little quiet here, so I thought I'd write a couple of lines. Nice trades this morning. I woke up this morning in your same position. Luckily we stopped and reversed, as DAX usually does. Not sure ...

120 (Future) looks like a good place to start building a long position. But, there's space below for spikes. Most expansions from yesterday range were broken so it's now or never.

I'll give you an example: You make an RSI based system that will short the market on overbought. Perhaps you'll make a filter that will only short the market when the price retraces below a given average that you have carefully designed (i.e. ...

Yes, common sense. MM just "works the order". That is if you need to place a large order you don't chase the price. You lower the bid and wait for the market to come to you. And many other tricks. Then if you have connections, your friends let you ...

DAX Futures June 2022

I largely agree with what you're saying. It's knowing when to break or not the rules and which rules to follow or not in any specific situation that makes a difference. I think I'm suggesting to be discretional in gauging the market, then act based ...
