Just as I was patting myself on the back for 70pips on the DAX, it's off a cliff. Some German data must have sucked.

Same here... lost it all and some then within seconds.. WTF happened???
Don't you guys keep an eye on economic news/figures being released?
Pre-market was weak overnight due to China factory data. French PMI was good at 8am, hence markets went up quickly on open. German PMI was below forecast at 8:30am, hence the fall back.
Europe PMI next at 9am.
Plenty more to come today - the market is whipping itself all over the place so don't get caught on the wrong end of trades!
The sell off happened at 8.28 before the figures were released... this was the forecast.."Germany's flash PMI figures are due at 3.30 am ET. Economists forecast German manufacturing PMI to remain flat at 49 in April and services PMI to rise to 51."
That's the problem - we all get screwed because those in the game know the news before the public do.
Good morning
According to the FXstreet calendar the German PMI figures were due at 8:28 and were only considered to be of moderate importance. Stopped doing indices for now and am sticking to shares and even got that wrong with a short on MKS at 400, only low stake.
