Question

Good morning ,

 

can anyone give me some advice on the issue i'm currently having when i place a trade on the German Dax ?

As an example this morning the previous close for yesterday was 15661 and the open this morning was 15651 , the gap wasn't really large enough to encourage a trade but as i am new to trading i decided to try a trade . I put my entry point 2 points above the high of the first 5 minute bare at 15654 , my stop/loss 52 points away from my entry point and when i attempted to put my exit point in ( 2 points before the previous days close ) i get the message box come up saying - ' Limit level is too far from the current market price ' . I just don't understand where i'm going wrong when indicating my limit/exit point , any help from experienced traders would be very much appreciated , thank you .

Hi Steve,

Is that the error message that you see on your deal ticket?

You might need to put your entry point level at a minimum of 10 points away from the current level

Hi  Arvin , many thanks for your reply on the issues i'm having getting my limit/exit point correct . The deal ticket seems to be accepting my entry point , stop loss okay but when i indicate on the ticket my exit point i get the message come saying ' Limit level is too far from the current market price ' . I have just finished studying John Pipers spread betting course and in it he says that your exit point should always be 2 points before the previous days close , but when i do this it gets rejected , i must be doing something wrong .

This morning for example yesterdays close was 15511 , the open this morning was 15574 so that's a good 63 point gap . So as it's an up gap i was looking for trading down , the close didn't however move downwards so no trade as per John Pipers rules . If the first five minute bar had closed in a downward direction i would of put my entry point 2 points below the low of the first five minute bar and my exit 2 points before the previous days close 15513 , do you agree with those calculations ?

Look forward to hearing from you ,

 

Regards , Steve

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
