TecDAX
Fourth down day; trend is still up; long entry would be possible, but (1) I‘m already long two positions here, and (2) I have a downtrend in the other German index, so a long is defnitely not a good option here. SL(bd) 798.

Stocks
CSTR short The (a) position was liquidated when it hit its target on Tuesday. The stop loss of the remaining (b) position will be moved to +0.5 R at 45.07 now. It’s actually good that I wasn’t there last week, because I would have been stopped out at this price already. SL(b) 45.07.
PBR long (a) position was closed with a profit at 23.48 on Tuesday. The remaining position would have been stopped out, and PBR isn’t going anywhere anyway, so I’ll just close (b) market on open tomorrow.
