That sucks (having retraced strongly) my feed only got to 1.5439 so didn't trigger:LOL:

Long way to go this week though.
 
Thanks for your reply Isa. Interesting what you have to say about the competition helping you to focus - in my mind, being focussed is one of the more difficult parts of trading on one's own as there are so many opitions & opinions out there that impulsive & ill thought out trades can be all too easily entered - combined with work commitments, it gets even trickier.
 
Trading is 75% a mind game so having a plan, sticking to it and ignoring news, views & clues (it rythmed any how) is the way to go. Just trade the charts.

Pardon the French, but I think the a r s e is going to drop out of the DAX tomorrow.

7205 first, then 7125 then 7000 ish during the week.:clover:

[edit] wow. Didn't even bother with 7205!

Just got bought out first thing this morning. The entry price being 30% above my entry point throws my plans off.

Stop @ 29.2
target 33...

Thanks A_fr. I did notice them mention it before the open on CNBC today and thought you might get a bit of high opening price for it.

Unfortunately it looks like you were right. Think I'm going to be stopped out if it doesn't stabilize soon.
