Phew... no need to post a clip of Gus Fring killing Viktor in Breaking Bad (ghastly bloodbath).. ... but bad exit & it's our exits that make us $$$ image

Pity I reversed out of my opening 689 short image Action stations : bloodbath positions !

Come on ! image +1 OK, without Brixen to move the markets, I will take a break - I have made enough for at least one cappuccino ...

Just couldn't get myself to press the Buy button at the yellow dot - would've made this a profitable trade : image (the 875 Sell is the exit from an earlier trade; current trade was a Buy off a non-existent VWAP bounce)

DAX Futures June 2018

+1 874 Looking for quick triple break of 878 or out. Hmm, it broke to 889 (my target was 894), so will take a +2 or so, rather than risk a loser. I often feel these lyrics are so relevant for a trader : (we won't mention the whores on 7th Avenue : ...

You are so darned good at closing out formerly losing positions at a profit, Mr Houdini

DAX Futures June 2018

"And the winner is..." handy148 Apparently, the exchange will indeed offset margin right down to $1k for a +5 FDXM -1FDAX position... but the darned broker is not so generous and wants the full $7.5k. This was a public service ...

Back in single lot scalp mode this morning, short 809, rev long 808 (and a Bund scalp, but Bund in sim; Edit : Bund chart alongside DAX chart is a distraction for me at the present time, so bye bye Bundy). So much for scalp mode...., another order ...

"You don't need to make a lot, to make a lot" ! I used to know a bond scalper (US 30 yr bonds), he traded a 10 lot & only tried to make just 2 ticks a trade.... $630 a winner, less comms. Sometimes he'd have days with 10 trades, all winners. He only ...

Holy Moly - just closed out this simulated disaster at +€222.50 (totally unrealistic, of course, as in a Live acount I would never have held the DD, which reached slightly over €10k at one point as I held 1 x FDAX short, in addition to the 5 ...

Haha, CG, only the Brits will understand that one (he was a neighbour of my late mother) Hope you're back in one piece & trading well.

Plan the Trade

B - hypothetically, supposing at 828 the market went on down to close at 728, then headed down further tomorrow, as the DAX can. May I please ask how you would deal with such a situation ? Would you attempt to enter / exit every pullback to keep ...

Hi, KF - may I please ask which broker offers intraday margin of $500 ? I have $500 for US Index futures and FX futures, but Eurex : FGBL $1,000 FDAX $2,500 FDXM $1,000 ... although as Dutchy Daxy pointed out the other day, EU brokers typically have ...
