Break for me, too. Think i'm done with trying to short the markets, full stop! They're just so rigged, the odds are in the favour of my long trades rather than my short attempts.

There will be few days for shorting indices after this move up has run of steam, than short will be an option. There are different emotion to rising market and falling market.
Optimism matched by the governments interest to look good and( not to mention the state of pension funds related to the performance of the market) usually accompanies the move up.
Panic and blaming anything and everything apart of the decadent western governments, many playing with socialism is usually part of a major move down, yet to be experienced again. These "crushes" are fast and furious, yet they are necessary, clearing the board and providing opportunity for shorting while the drop lasts.

Interestingly, dax went up while the ZEW news release was weak. Contrarian move so far, but eventually this move up will run out of steam, at least for a few days. When? Who knows. I would like one or even two up days, than a good pull-back before the up move is resumed.
Us open might provide further stimulus for taking the previous Hs, when it comes I shall be there and let the mice (the IT vermin) do their work

Those Germans just dont know when to quit.
The Dow is ready to go down on open but it hasnt got through to Daxy yet.

2be, can I ask what the 2 yellow lines are on your chart?

Dow provides a much selective and narrow perspective of the market compared with S&P
Dax is more in sync with S&P but at times on intra day the enthusiasm of DOW is also effecting dax
Attached charts to compare

Hi Dinos
Yellow line on MACD histo is Linear Weighted, Period 8 Shifted 2
Yellow on the chart is a Price channel EMA period 5 Shift 2 High and Low
on other monitors I use similar PA channel with H A candles, comes as Synergy_Pro_APB indicator it does similar job to the EMA5 H & L

Well it hasnt gone up since I shorted so thats an improvement on yesterday.
But it hasnt gone down either.

looks like dow has closed the gap, often the case
I do not see any confirmation to go short yet, in a bigger way
Intra day presents opportunity both ways though I still have a slight bias to the long site (it can be v dangerous to have a bias, but ?)
