"Former ECB President Mario Draghi, whom I met with regularly during that period to discuss this very issue, understood and fretted about the fact that the Germans would be very much against the move to QE. He nonetheless chose to protect the entire euro zone economy from deep recession and possible deflation, incurring the wrath of ECB hawks and Germans in the process." https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-03-11/coronavirus-europe-needs-a-robust-response-from-the-ecb " hint of a “too little, too late” response that significantly raises the odds of a soaring euro and recession." Draghi please come back with the helicopter😷

Too early to call a bottom but some higher lows needs to take out 12 000 Needs to wiggle around and shake out some weak hands (long) and some shorts to squezze out😉

PRT Code - Breakout from first candle
Kodiak replied to Bopperz's question in IG Chart Support - Charts, MT4 and PRT
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 -
