The DAX has been good to me in the past Tar. ever since Brexit though it has been difficult, with very little intra day movement, and if it did move it was one violent move and then flat, relatively speaking. I stuck with it untill the new year and then decided i had to look elsewhere and the...

Just thought id Update as its the 1st Feb When the DAX went into that flat range it wasnt giving me the opportunities that i need and I focused my efforts on USDJPY, so far it suits my trading style and has been going well. So this DAX challenge went on the back burner as i can only...

19 days of flat trading for the DAX, incredible sitting on hands still!

I agree with you 100% if you were trading for a career, the losses would be unsustainable over a longer period of time. This is a challenge though, a combination of a bit of fun and a steep learning curve when it comes to trader emotions. I am doing this in addition to trading my regular...

you never understood it! that says it all

The turnaround starts when the pros start taking profits, the buying or selling in the opposite direction should follow that! My nan said bottom pickers get smelly fingers!

You never responded to my challenge Nero, calling tops and bottoms like can would make it a piece of cake..

your having a laugh right? i posted the spreadsheet trade 9 starts with a trade balance of 5k you risk 2.5k if you win at 2:1 then thats 5k 5k + 5k = 10K and no one said i could only risk 10 points yep you must be having a laugh.....

Hi Guys thought id update the DAX still hasn't moved out of the 15 day range and as my method for this requires a trend then any signals i get are questionable. I am still at level 3 so i guess happy enough, i went through a few days of literally 10 trades or so win one loose one because i...

Well it needs something to get the DAX moving have you seen a chart of it the last 15 days Flat flat flat and it just doesnt fit the model i'm using for this.... so inconsiderate

I blame you Tar if you hadn't questioned my maths i probably wouldn't have gotten into this :lol:

Fair comment i suppose maybe i'm getting a bit sensitive too :-0

so another poster is thinking of leaving the thread, i can see now why my thoughts of getting a few traders willing to join in were doomed its hard enough trading without having to justify what you are doing to people that probably cant trade their way out of a paper bag. i say ignore them...

Be a shame to loose you Pipstream Keep us posted as to how you get on, even if its by PM Good luck with it, i hope you make it to level 9

feeling that took a long time, and had quite a few scrappy trades along the way that are not worth talking about like i said i will make videos once (if) i get past level 4, that will prob put more pressure on but lets see. The money is not a problem at the moment, loosing a couple of k on a...
