11 am was NOKIA!! got clubbered on it, as i was unprepared. www.bloomberg.com don't know many others.. Funster, good to hear you can afford that sofa now ;-) good luck with the new house!
Stone & McCarthy's European Section on economic indicators is very good. The German ZEW index and the IFO are very big European indicators that you must be aware of.
I was looking at the ib market data and was curious what is needed to trade the dax. I assume I need the eurex and depth of eurex. Does the dax trade on the xetra also?
depth of eurex is optional. the dax future does not trade on xetra, because xetra is the platform for stocks.
Good morning all! I already hit my stoploss and i must admit, the last trade when I was at -9 for the day (-10 is stoploss for day), out of hope i held on too long. this is the first time since very long i didn't take my loss quickly. and i paid dearly for it! good for me! Problem is also I don't care enough I suppose. I am going to work on that. First priority. I gotta be focused like a leopard on her prey in the savannah. She cares! She dies when she doesn't catch herself food. When I would be really hungry I would go through a lot of trouble to get food I am sure. maybe starve myself and only allow myself to have food when I am really focused and follow all my rules! Or is that too psycho? Out of past trading profits I live a pretty comfortable life. I have (almost) everything I desire. That's enough private information. To summarize, I gotta transform myself into the hungry leopard! Good luck trading to you all!
I have been putting some thinking in how to distinguish between average and very good setups. Basically it should come down to more indicators pointing in the same direction, OR a panic situation. To add another indicator to my trading (except just trading off other markets and taking the other side of a slowing trend); A good man gave me the suggestion of pivot points. Myself i came up with trendlines. (I was already looking at prev. high/lows). Tomorrow I am going to try it. Anybody other suggestions?
