Anyone Daytrading The DAX Cash?

I should have shorted DAX up next to the 9640 resistance today and just held it for the 9542 support as per my post this morning. 9542 has just been hit. Very possible that 9500 is next.

Ticks and indicators I have done away with, except for avs and Bollingers, which are on the main chart. The rest of my help consists of trendlines, support, resistance. I have good times and bad so, maybe, I won't change my style too much.

This morning I lost 17 points because I was trying something new on the 30M and my SL was a bit far. I, also, missed that round number 9600. Those numbers need watching.

Nice thread, Dax. I'm, normally, on FT and Dax so this one fills a need.
 
In my humble opinion, selling rallies while DAX is below 9640/50 is the best policy.

Only above 9640/50 do the bulls come back with commitment. This is still a consolidation phase of an up trend, so until it breaks out, to the upside or downside then it should be traded in a consolidation/range trading manner.
 
Below 9542 on DAX today would most likely see a push down to 9462 and 80pt drop.

IMO its going to take a snap and hold above 9640 for bulls to show they are back and pushing for new highs. Only a break/hold above 9640 do we then have a chance at 9700 and 9732 today. And then an eventual push to 9800+ this week.

But while below the 9640/50 as I said previously, selling rallies is the best policy and then buying the good dips.
 
Add to that last post, only below 9400 now changes trend to bearish, so between 9400 and 9640/50 is the consolidation boundaries of the uptrend today with various S/R levels inbetween as I have posted.
 
Personally I would love to see 9462 today for a buying opportunity with a stop below 9400 and a target of 9732 and 9800 as a swing trade.
