US & EU markets have different agenda's. Central banks QE and roll overs

EU markets could go up and US markets could drop or vise versa.

I trade/judge every market on what I see on my charts.

Can anyone explain to me why volatility has completely dried up on the DAX the past few weeks?
As far as I can tell, it's not holiday season, so what's the deal....?

Cheers

Hi

As I wrote already: the DAX is waiting for the ECB on Thursday. Rate decision and QE Yes/No.

Also the rollover to the new contract somewere next Week. That all keeps traders on the sideline. Including me.

The DAX made a nice rally/up move started Aug 28/29 and now last few Days they scratch there heads and wait for further develoments/news.

There is no single reason to keep going up in the DAX. Bad numbers in Germany/Econ slowing down, so the only reason the DAX went up last few Weeks is the hope for (new) helicopter money. Not because of the good German data

Good to know, much appreciated. Sorry, I only just found this DAX thread and hadn't read thru.
I scalp the DAX so I'm generally quite ignorant of fundamentals and larger tf issues.
Does the market always slow at contract rollover like this, as I hadn't noticed it before? (3rd Friday of the month isn't it?)
Also, since I've been back trading the DAX again, I've noticed that it doesn't seem to move much at all on news - certainly far less than it used to a few years ago. As a scalper this suits me fine, but any reason for this? Are there any specific news events other than ECB rate decisions that actually move the index significantly?

(3rd Friday of the month isn't it?) Yes correct

it doesn't seem to move much at all on news -certainly far less than it used to a few years ago. Yes correct

Are there any specific news events?. IFO & ZEW (next Week) it often reacts (a little) and ECB as you said already.
ECB expectations is now the main driver of the DAX

On IG I trade CFDs. German 30 CASH CFDs. No Futures on IG.
For Swing trades only/mainly. No scalp trades anyway.

China will win the trade war and wean off American technology in 7 years, strategist says

 

  1. “China will never trust the United States again (and vise versa), and it will achieve its technology independence within seven years,” he told CNBC’s Squawk Box.
  2. Chinese tech firms have traditionally been reliant on American suppliers for semiconductors, modems and jet engines. But recent developments in the trade war have called this relationship into question.

For instance, it is developing its own chip industry. Under the government-led Made in China 2025 initiative, the country aims to produce 40% of its semiconductors by 2020, and 70% by 2025.

“China will never trust the United States again, and it will achieve its technology independence within seven years,” David Roche, Independent Strategy’s president and global strategist, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

China has traditionally been reliant on U.S. suppliers for key tech components such as chips and software, as well as modems and jet engines, but recent developments in the two countries’ protracted trade war have strained those ties and affected businesses from both sides.

“It is a conflict between a rising global power and a declining global power ... It’s not just about trade. It’s about technology, it’s about the free flow of ideas, it is rapidly becoming about the free flow of individuals,” Roche said.
“So it’s a really wide conflict, and it’s simply not gonna go away,” he concluded.

DAX tries to reach that Monthly Res. level @ 375<>400
Its hopefull for ECB stimulus.

DOW is already on its Monthly Res. level. Hit already and couldn't break it. Maybe they will try again.
And I still see (little) divergence on the (non reliable) CCI and Stochs.

Last ECB meeting, on 25th july, DAX and DAX Futures had more 300 pips range in less than 2 hours, but in the past you can check several ECB Meetings where we saw 4/5% day range or even 7% on that day ( march 2016)...I guess is it enough to destroy or to explode any trader account!

I use Ninja for at least 6/7 Years now. Made nice software for N8 which I don't want to make on PRT.

Last time I checked PRT there were no good RENKO charts.
Only advantage CFDs is hedging option and no roll over

Blackout no idea. Happens to me as well sometimes without a reason.

Fair enough with the charts, don't blame you. PRT is nice though, very slick, but yes I have noticed their renko can be a little buggy/limited.
Was the first time I've experienced an IG blackout, everything just dead for like 45mins. I'm sure they're still cleaning up the mess lol.
Do you have anywhere outside of this thread that details your trading style, successes, etc?

Yes, it was thursday 10 march 2016 ECB meeting, a 6% day range.....and the free fall started after few minutes Draghi press conference, as it happened on july 2019.
Then they recovered all losses in a couple of days, wild horse is terrible!
