    Wow so FESX hits a 2 year (probably) low, I wonder how much lower it will go.

    Next test is the March 2009 low.........

  3. :D Leave it to the deep pockets to buy some of this! Buying below 5030. Put options in place 5000, 4950, 4900, 4850.

    With other words: strong buy.

    See you later.

  4. I'm glad that I read your message ... :)
    I also had a hint that 2+ % down in the morning and other indices in the strange

    I bought 5000 Sep puts in the morning,
    closed a bit at 5k,
    then went long few mins ago around 30,
    closed bit of longs 60+ to be flat delta
    and let it run now.

    Still, DAX is dog in da house ...

    What reward ratio are you guys using at the moment?

    I am playing with 1 risk : 3 reward, I might reduce that tho because the markets are getting so choppy.... maybe to like 1:2 or even 1:1!!

  6. Better short any bounce..

    @Eric: it depends on strategy. If you are a bottom fisher, you better have a large stop :)

  7. im looking to change brokers, currently with cmc markets and they are changing their spreads to variable spread depending on market conditions, which i dont like.

    does anyone have any recommendations, looking for a broker with a tight spread and low margin.

    thanks

  8. Exit 5338.00 first part. Investing some of the profits for a 5050.00 put WALL ARMADA. Good luck bearz. Everybody is so negative out there that even taxi drivers are talking about making a buck or two shorting the Euro.

    :cool:

  9. Tell me about it.

    It was a good day today but it was mainly about reduction of leverage rather than closing winning trades.
    I sold my longs at various levels, 5210 - 5331, average 5290
    Also sold Sep/Oct 5200 puts, still hold some 5000 and 5200 puts, just in case something happens.
