Yeah, Futures quotes are different to Cash Index CFDs. I think it has to do with Dividend estimates and a few other things being inputted into the quotes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we drop in a typical friday fashion through the course of the day. There could be mini bounces of buying, although it may be limited, around these levels: 9800pts: BRN, 9791pts: S3, and 9741pts: 61.8% Fib. I'd be surprised ...

Very close, with staying in EU a slender lead on these two polls: url url GBP should strengthen you would think if they stay in the EU.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Strong USD is good for the Dax... It makes German exports cheaper for USA to purchase, which in turn leads to higher Dax company revenues/profits. According to trade data from Germany, the USA is the number 1 importing nation by dollar value for ...

Been buying and closing trades as they hit the 7sma and 20sma on 5m TF. Loads of mini trades, not good trading, I'd shift to shorts, but concerned we may get some swooning once EURUSD stops climbing. EURUSD climbing is not helping the Dax, not one ...

I trade Germany30 Cash CFD's through IG Markets, its continuous pricing 24 x 5. Bought at 8am CET, right on pre-trade open. I think the 200sma's on the 1m, 2m and 5m will be hard to break today, it will need burst buying on XO to break it. EURUSD ...

Long at 10,004pts. TP TBC, possibly 5m 200sma at 10,040pts. Will wait for PA on XO and decide.

Yeah, I am hoping we experience month-end/quarter-end swooning, where the Funds pump the index higher to show improved returns on their statements. So one more day of buying, and then Friday kicks in with some typical risk-off selling.

A short at the top of that channel would be a nice entry, would be close to 200sma on Daily too...

Nice trading yourself. Well done mate. I re-entered at 10,003pts, sold 3 mini's for +10, then sold the last one for +20. I think the Weekly 20sma is the major resistance level, which is around 10,040pts. We may breach it temporarily today with some ...

TP hit. +15 x 5, +40 x 1 = 265pts Might sit out now, and hopefully we a get a new interim high today or tomorrow. Then I may do a swing/intra-week short trade.

Bought quite a few at 9953pts on breakout, closed 5 of them for about +15 each in 1 min. Left one to run with TP set for 9993pts.

Nope... Waiting for XO to see what happens. If EURUSD wasn't up so much over night, I'd be long here. I am expecting a possible interim top today or tomorrow though on the Dax, if so, then that will give me the signal to short based on time series ...
