DAX: Short 6,986.

 

I think it is generally down, and am positioning for better shorts, unless it swithces to up.

(ideal short would be 7,015 (low of yesterday)

 

(dont normally play indices, so bear with me)

 

EDIT: sorry. the LOW of the afternoon part, not the absolute end of day.

 

out for -14. (6,998) poor entry; should have got in around 95, would have given me more breathing room.

Typical. Trailed stop this time and ended up with +3, whereas a manual close could've netted 12 or 15. :doh: and double :doh:

Moved stop to breakeven - 650 proving to be hindrance.

I have 660-670 as resistance... although the NQ went up higher, YM still relatively around the premarket price.
