nice trade by the way - eurostoxx just tested yesterdays lows this morning but the dax was way above - did you catch that rally yesterday, was nice move - now we need for the U.S. to start moving back up, which is not a certainty as the recent up move was long and large, so may need a bit more...

FYI. interesting article in TRADERS magazine this month on using the CCI with DAX for systematic trades. foale - do you have a link to this article? - thx

you are noticing the properties of the statistical normal distribution - think of it this way, as an example, for simplicity - on average, the market doesn't move on a daily basis, i.e. the average daily return on the dow is 0% - however, the standard deviation is 1%, i.e. there is a roughly...

ok, thx DoubleSix - this makes sense, i was guessing they must have some sort of a correlation type model - although the last few months as you know the european indices have been correlated with the u.s. much less than normal due to the big runup to the new highs...

however, i think they do adjust sometimes, like on the morning after the German elections, that big gap down.. - they must have some sort of a way adjusting, don't know if it's anything sophisticated...

hm interesting - ok thx - so you mean they just slap a wider spread onto the eurex closing price? - looks that way most of the time - i am wondering because i look up their dax quotes at times when there is a big u.s. move after the dax close... - and it seems their quotes are quite way off...

i know some dax stocks must trade in Japan/Asia for example - i am wondering if anyone knows the specifics of how they quote dax futures overnight, i.e. outside of the EUREX trading hours - how they they hedge them.. also would be curios to see if anyone knows how they calculate / hedge their...

hi Jetheat - i suppose one thing i am wondering about is "mechanical discretion" in your signature - i presume that relates to your chart setups - i am curious as to how it relates to your charts - one of the reasons i am wondering is because i myself have studied the tried and tested chart...

"poetic bullish engulfing" vs "do your research" - jetheat, am not trying to raise the heat here but really, what kind of research is this - i can not agree more that preparation is critical before trading - but what does a chart with lines and annotations tell me - what i want to know is that...

sbullimore - where's the £35 on amazon? - i have just checked, not seeing it - i was recommended this book by a trader w/10+ years experience, he said best book he's read in years.. - if your saying you are getting depressed etc. if it's because of trading, perhaps reading this book might be...

first, go backpacking, take a break and enjoy when you get back, get a job at a bank or a hedge fund - get a lower level job if you have to, that's fine, just be close to the trading area and learn, eventually if your smart and good worker, they will let you trade - don't apply to arcades or...

hi Arcadian - thanks for the update - well, i have been trading from home for a year and a half - from time to time, i have thought about joining an arcade - however, most of what i have read about arcades has been negative or neutral to say the least, very little in terms of positive...

hi Arcadian - i recall your posts re. arcades - was very informative - just curious where you have ended up, if not in the offce at home.. and how it's going.. of course only if you'd like to share, thx, all the best. regards.

hi there all - in my recent experience, eurozone news releases (i.e. around 9-11 London time) typically do not seem to move euro indexes as much as the u.s. news releases - the only exceptions are (i) ECB announcements and (ii) Nokia results / news - now i track Nokia's earnings release schedule...

ok Johnny / others - we can spend eons fretting over the details of this system here - there are professionals out there whose business is to test these rigorously - they have the resources and expertise in doing just that, and have been for decades - for example, check out www.futurestruth.com...
