Yep and I think that is something that traders will drift towards, more and more. No brokers notes to worry about, no profit warnings to shaft you. Nice movement in currencies which has long gone in indices. Get some data on the DAX for 1.5 - 3 years ago and look at the swings, it was tradeable.
I still see FTSE rising from here, not sure yet on DAX. Not much slippage to come I dont think. FTSE is clearer to me than the DAX right now, but I guess if FTSE plods slowly upwards then DAX will be there as well.
Didnt see the DAX rise coming but had FTSE as a strong buy late yesterday. Longed at 4422 for +22 this mroning, so maybe no real surprise that DAX moved up as well, though I have to say it was not a buy or sell for me at the close last night. Stuck in no mans land on my trading signal.
The Dax has been like that all week really, there is the US unemployment figures out at 1.30pm and G7 meeting is today I think, which may or may not affect the markets, we'll have to wait and see
