DAX Seems the sellers are tired, or maybe lunch? Lets see if we can get a higher swing low? or if its takes off without looking back?

Did you close it with profit or waiting for more profit? Exit is imoprtant trading options they move very fast

Step 1 buy Step 2 add a limit to sell at profit😉 Step 3 the "guy" on the other side make a loss😉

They had something going on back in 2015, but then came mr Wall street 30K alias Trump and ditch it https://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/sec-rule-death-knell-geared-etfs

Bought one of each On demo😁 Where is the limit order😉

Should be 0.98 for buy a call and 152 to sell short a call? "Margin required: 152.12/0.98" Strange If size is 1 GBP per point

a weak, weak buy maybe😉 Needs to take out 13 060

Did a backtest on EURUSD Friday was a winner but had some drawdown lately so its probably time for some tweaking of the settings?

And they are sensitive to change in volatility

This is a DOW version i have had running on demo on 3 min But i dont like it, probably another loser in play? To be honest this breakout systems looks good in theory buy fails when trading them Markets change all the time and risk of curvefitting

Try something like this Its the guys at prorealcode.com that did the job This is a optimized version for EURUSD 5 min that i did in November only one trade a day and a trailing stop I dont use it anymore but could be a starting point?

Maybe if i have the time i will do that? I am not trying to sell something.. Only trying to help and show how TA can be used

Well the signals are in realtime, but it needs a "brainfilter" to be profitable😉 And my brainfilter needs to be optimized😄 The most important are the exits, thats where the money is made ..or lost😉 Only one signal today, long at 13 732

If you think they are wrong Buy SP 500 and sell Dow same amount in money and close both at the same time when you have som profit or Buy SP 500 and short some weak stocks in SP 500

For "buy and hold" Barrier options maybe better? (For those that have access to them)

Yes all the dip buyers make it hard shorting Did not trade today because i suck at trading😉 But maybe something like this for those that can? 2 short scalp 20-30 points or so? If i had placed a trade i had probably **** it up😄

Any reason why we cant use limit orders (take profit) on options? IG Europe options platform (i know the difference with Nadex) https://www.nadex.com/learning-center/educational-resources/videos/market-limit-orders-what’s-difference

I use only 2 MAs as a filter (used the same settings long time) Had some time over and did a backtest buy sell on cross I used a trailing stop and optimized the trailing stop only and for the whole year 2019 and did a backtest (out of sample) with best setting this year from year end until now I know it will probably fail in the future but everything works sometimes the hard thing is to know when And its DAX tick chart When will we have tick charts in proorder?

In theory😁

One thing i miss and would be a big improvement Limit orders on options (take profit) Say if you buy at 30 and would like to sell half or all at 60 But i think i know why😉

You pay 120 for the right to buy at 3400 at expiry, but you can sell it before Take a look at this😉 https://www.barchart.com/options/strategy-indexes https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$CLL/performance?mode=monthly
