Dow looking weak on China factory numbers overnight.

Looked like it might bounce along with Europe after French PMI came in stronger, but now back down due to German PMI.
 
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???:mad::mad:

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!
 
Trend still down for these markets the china pmi is more significant than te European ones we all know Europe is a mess . Dax holding up on considering I holding a short position from yesterday and expect once the states get in it will test the low if not break it .
 
Also to mention large S&P puts and Vix calls going through yesterday 1550 strikes pretty sure we see 1525 before the bounce puts dax in the 7300 ,s

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.
 
All Germans numbers are always leaked and I mean always Zew IFO etc just go with it when it happens but some traders on here don't even know numbers are coming out which is a bit concerning if you don't know what's coming out u might aswell go down the casino
 
Exactly dick ! Just need to be aware if you have money in the bin and its 5 mins to a number might aswell bank half incase what happened today happens !
 
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.

weakness might be stops being taken out might rebound like dow/sp500 yesterday dow came back from minus 90 during the session
