oh its real. make sure the emotion is controls

 

1 thing about many people do not understand is, do not open an account $5K in order to trade futures. $100K is the minimum to open a futures account.

 

Many people do not realize the risk involves trading in the futures market.

if the fund managers are trading million dollar margins, why would a small traders trade with only $5000 in the account?

 

i would never trade any futures markets with less than $100K

so if it didnt rebound would you just keep averaging and averaging?

 

it will rebound. that is the nature. i first started trading in the futures and stock markets in 1981. In 1983, was the worst ever i experienced. I lost more than $300K all because i didnt believe the market rebound on a single day. i almost did that again in 1987 stock marke crashed. those lesson taught me the market will rebound, but at a great cost/loss

i guess why did you decide to go for +30 now as opposed to the +1's you have been taking?

 

because the market dropped so fast, it is not wise to go after 1pt based on the extreme extreme volitlity. when this happen, i decide to place my stop at breakeven and let it right up. my goal was to have the market hits my breakeven, however, it jumped 10pts past my breakeven less than a min, and i decide to keep my stop at breakeven.

-83 pts at one point?

 

83 ES pts?

 

If it is real, then you got some serious confidence to hang on like that.

 

Probably easier to just post your blotter/statement so we can see how that trade looked.

Mr Brownfan, i have never seen u post any trades. why dont u post trades instead of stating your opinions?

 

The way i look at u now, u probably a teenager or a very young adult living in your parent basement critizing other traders trade, but never post live trade.

 

dont hide and post live trade

    • Date: 19th February 2025.   Is the DAX Overbought After Rising For 7 Weeks Straight?   The DAX rose by 20% in 2024, however, in 2025 so far the DAX has risen more than 15% in only 50 days. The DAX has risen for seven straight weeks, driven by rate cuts and strong earnings reports. Can the DAX maintain momentum or is the price overbought? DAX 40 - What’s Driving the Bullish Trend? Three factors are driving the price of the DAX higher. The first is the European Central Bank which has cut for 2 consecutive months and is likely to adjust a further 0.75% in 2025. The lower interest rates and expectations of further cuts are known to support the DAX due to higher consumer demand.     The second factor driving prices higher are the positive earnings data. SAP SE is the most influential stock and has risen by 18% so far this year. SAP’s latest quarterly earnings report saw the company beat revenue expectations by 2.60% and earnings by 1.40%. The second most influential stock for the DAX is Siemens AG which has risen almost 20% in 2025 so far. All of the seven most influential stocks have risen in value this year so far and only 17% of the whole DAX have declined this year so far. However, traders should note that not all companies within the DAX have made public their quarterly earnings reports. The third factor is the expectation that the Ukraine-Russia conflict will end or reach a ceasefire in the first half of the year. Traders should note that an end to the conflict is more crucial for European indices in comparison to Asian or US indices. This is due to the nature of Europe and European geopolitics. Is the German DAX Overbought? When analyzing the price movement the index is trading in the overbought zone on most oscillators and on most timeframes. However, price action and previous impulse waves indicate the price will not be overbought unless the price increases above 23,250EUR. However, the intrinsic value of the DAX will also depend on US tariffs. If Germany is able to avoid harsh US tariffs, German stocks may continue to increase higher as sentiment improves. However, harsh tariffs are likely to apply downward pressure on the index and increase the likelihood of being overbought in the short-to-medium term. If the price indeed declines, traders may first target the support level at $22,437.58, which will likely fall in line with the 75-period Moving Average. The main bullish breakout point is at the 22,724.30 mark. Tariffs on Foreign Cars A key risk for the DAX as mentioned above is US tariffs, particularly on cars. The DAX index includes Mercedes-Benz, Porsche AG, BMW, and Volkswagen. Total new cars sales in the US from these 4 companies make up almost 10% of the overall sales.     Donald Trump remained defiant despite warnings that his proposed trade war could disrupt the US economy, stating that his administration might impose tariffs of approximately 25% on foreign cars within weeks. He also announced that semiconductor chips and pharmaceuticals would soon face higher tariffs, speaking at a news conference on Tuesday. Key Takeaway Points: The DAX has surged over 15% in 2025, driven by ECB rate cuts, strong earnings, and optimism over the Ukraine conflict. SAP SE and Siemens AG are the top-performing stocks and 83% of the DAX has witnessed gains. However, some earnings reports are still pending. Despite trading in overbought territory, the index may continue rising unless it faces harsh US tariffs. Potential US tariffs on foreign cars pose a key risk, impacting major DAX-listed car makers. This includes Mercedes-Benz, Porsche AG, BMW, and Volkswagen. Always trade with strict risk management.
