DAX wasn't very fluid today, it was moving on low volume early but with little pullbacks, I did one decent trade early and should have held the runner. Tried another trade late, chop has started, one stopped out after BE kicked in for -1, closed the other one at +1 and +2. Small steps to reinforce discipline and belief into the system. Milebuilding.
To comment on DAX, I start liking it more and more for scalping. It is not very liquid, yet it's not gaping up and down like gold often does, it does not make too much crazy moves yet it is moving sufficiently not to get bored. And best of all for scalping is its price point: one tick is 12.5 euro, i.e. 16.5 dollars, while commission equals that of gold or crude which have only 10 dollars per tick. So it 40% cheaper to trade. Yet it is even better if to compare with it's relatives - NQ and YM, which is resembles a lot. There it is 300% cheaper to trade, as 1 tick there is only 5 bucks as compared to 16.5 for DAX, with same or similar commission.
You may enjoy the slower, more relaxing pace. Your momentum system is very good, though so I am sure it is hard for you to stop watching gold. Technology should be a good play soon. I've been waiting for dips to complete. ZN is also cheap to trade.
