Congratulations and thanks for all the work!

Thanks for compliments

In fact - I was checking my best weekdays to trade the Dax
with this system.
Found that Wednesdeay is the best (counting 18 months) where
trades gave double of Monday and of Friday - over all weeks.

In this case...
a) sleep well on Sunday
b) do not get up on bloody Mondays
c) stretch all day long on Tuesdays
d) Put ALL IN on Wednsdays...
and
e) spend all gain on the long weekend

After having seen some impressive upmoves recently, we are now exactly
before killing the 9'000 in the DAX. Another ATH then.
If it is seen today - ok.
In any case some pullback will arrive tomorrow.
Up to the moment the day had a range of 127 points - a trade
tomorrow will be ok.

Good trades

Have checked the Fib Levels for the Dax out of the last movements here:
Seems that 9K is not ripe just now.
Fib-Levels are
61,8%: 8'999
100%: 9'142
161%: 9374

Some extra bullish power needed to reach next levels above.

Dax short 10:30 to 14:30

GFIs1

GFIs1 · (login for full post details)

Normally the bigger moves in the Dax are seen on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
This week the first attempt to kill 9K was on Tuesday with a big boost.
Tomorrow Friday we will see IFO numbers (10:00).

Scenario could be: today attempt to make the jump over 9K - turning at 9033.
Friday's IFO is then alreday "included" and some retracing under 9K could
finish this shaky week.

Good trades

Above scenario did not really work..
There was a peak in the Dax future over 9000 yesterday @ 12:08 but closed quickly lower. The
Dax itself did only reach 12 points under 9K.

Looking at the bullish Dax - there is one last possibility to consolidate above the KUMO
to near 8600 and not crossing the Kumo.
Details:

GFIs1 HiLo DAX Signal

Looking at the bullish moves in the indices we have to see that the october was
a very bullish month this year.
Price in the daily is still hovering above Kumo and signals are strong to see some
higher prices before year ends.
There is one scenario …

This scenario is good for the next 2-3 weeks - Then the futures might be pushing into a year end rally.

Hi Alex - everyone awaiting a "healthy" retracement before higher highs are seen...
Today it did not show up.. even Wednesdays normally show some dosed shorts in
the mornings.
Tomorrow ECB decision - and even now - no conso in sight.
As this indecided Wednesday shows - one has to be cautious on shorts - as well
as jumping in long right now. - For sure the bulls are not tired yet.
Good trades! GFIs1

Today - the ECB decision brought exactly the up jump - which leads to
a NoGo for a GFIs1 system trade tomorrow...

Today had a 169 point range - which prevents from taking the
usual Friday trade...

For all readers who are listening carefully - I will send out a trade proposal
tomorrow - but not after my normal rules then.

Now we are in the last weeks of the year - time to compare how the system went over time.
In the thread is discussed how the rules were slightly optimized - I will not repeat here.

Last year week 46 was at the year end result - the last weeks 2012 were not changing this any more.

Points made end of week 46
Year 2012: 1011
Year 2013: 909 (expecting here some more points in the coming weeks)

Actual chart of weekly points made in 2013

Discussion:
Both years show quite similar returns. There was a steady gain development without big drawdowns.
In 2013 were less trades taken than in 2012 (normally 3 per week instead of 5).
So given a gain of rough 1'000 yearly future points X 25€ (per point with IB) this nets 25K € in year per car
on a margin which ranged between 6400 to 10'600€ per car in the given 2 years.

End note: The system (rules) looks quite robust over 2 years under the pressure of so many very
different influences and quite different development of the Dax in both compared years.

Thanks for all your inputs! I am learning every day more

Was only curious what other traders are getting with their brokers.
In fact - as I am trading mainly € accounts - there is no need to put more money at risk putting
it into another currency.

With IB I have the possibility to treat several accounts with one order at the same time.
This is called advisor account. The splitting is made first - then the execution goes to all
attached accounts.
I am listening carefully - if you have this possibility too with other brokers.

I think it should be possible with almost every broker, that the account/s gets managed in Euros. And also your need to have accounts attached to a major account, shouldn't be much of a problem to adapt. The most brokers call it institutional account. Just make a request und you will see.

I have an account in euros too, with amp. Can be done with mirus as well. But it should not be a big concern for you if you operate large accounts. What you described is called block trading. I think you need to talk with brokers' account managers. There is very a responsive guy here at futures.io (formerly BMT) from Mirus, maybe you can check with him.

It's been up for so long and so much it gathered huge momentum. It can't break down without a lot of turning. Like a Titanic.

Indeed, that's why I've taken profits for today as the fast drop is still more likely to be a 'C' wave for now - but there are still some small icebergs around.

Once we've seen an outside week or month then we can start to think conditions might be significantly changing, otherwise I'm still net postive with Gann and Santa, but nevertheless with a steadily widening weather eye for cloudier and bumpier times.

The foreseen (slight) move was a real slip today. Up to now the range

If so we will not have a normal wednesday short as usual.
In any case a recommendation for a trade will be announced.

The Dax is in a very strong correction phase right now.
Today we had 9089.5 in the Future as a intermediate low.
Looks like the needed low for reversal is not yet reached:
8950 has to be hit (watching the 4h chart) to see
the next (little) reversal.
The scenario described in previous post is no longer valid:
New Alltime Highs within this month are no longer possible.

My trade is always after Initial Balance (30 minutes) and exit BEFORE US numbers.
This prevents from surprises.
Of course price (after US numbers) might bring gains in new hights - BUT: not always

So being on the secure side means sometimes less plus points but for sure:
LESS minus points during hectic markets too.

Looking at the Dax chart with Ichimoku there are some important points reached right now. The red and supporting Kumo (cloud) is now exhausting and forming a Dinosaur head. At the same time with today’s price red TenkanSen and blue KijunSen lines formed a cross - means a price reversal.
Green lagging ChikouSpan is moving to the blocked area of Tenkan and Kijun.

Scenario for price into January:
1) interim low is reached now - some slight upmove for year end to (blue Kijun) @ 9206 is foreseen!
2) From January price might fall and cross red Kumo until mid January at the thinnest point to come down to the same level as Chikou will have resistance @ 8796.
3) A quick reversal from there to resistance of Kumo @ 8958 area is of short interval until
4) the next down leg (this one longer) should reach first goal of @ 8435 eventually @ 8356.

The described scenario is highly probable. The picture is great for Swing traders.
Some day to day analysis is necessary to see at which point the big picture is no longer valid.
Keep alerted for the next review.

GFIs1 who has to watch closer next time

You really CAN'T have / get 'em ALL...

Nevertheless, another great GFIs1 trade to start the week with, congrats !

Just reviewing Monday's straight strong move up to now (15:00h): update 17:30

Day range: 181 points 197 points
Volume low: <60K 85K
Difficulties: - FED news Wednesday, - last week before Christmas

Hint for Tuesday:
NO trade (rules) as range is >150 points
highly possible chop chop before FED announcements
9206 should be reachable - maybe on Wednesday

Best to stay at the sideline and protecting capital.

Had been asked if these points are on ONE contract:

YES -
ALL results in this THREAD are on ONE contract Dax Future.

just to clarify

Today is IFO day and in the evening FED announcement.
Friday then triple witch - so some volatility expected.

for the brave wanting to see some more points: go long 15:30 to 17:00

PS: this was the last trade December 13 Future - next on Friday will be the March 14 Future

Hi @podski

Thanks for compliments - you are right - >90% of Wednesday trades are a short.
But there are some rare exceptions - I can tell you in 50 minutes

Because Swiss-German is unwriteable?

p.s. Best Wishes for the holidays, looking forward to the March contract.

The contrary is true - thanks for asking:
To avoid that NSA gets to much out of my emails - I am writing important things
in Swiss-German. Works great!

PS: Happy holidays to you!!

Hi @podski

Thanks for your wishes and compliments.
I try to finish this year with the last trade(s) next week.
For 2014 I see no change yet - the journal has quite
some followers: THANKS all for reading and making inputs.
This motivates to be even more accurate and disciplined
in the future!

Have a great time
