Let’s just jump to the Key DAX Levels for 16-09-2020 in a moment. There was a cautiously optimistic mood on the DAX yesterday after good economic data. The economic expectations of German financial experts have surprisingly brightened. According to the Mannheim Center for European Economic Research (ZEW), the indicator it collected rose in September. Analysts, on the other hand, had expected a decline on average.

That’s pretty much all there is to report on, not a great deal to say today; everyone is waiting for the Fed decision. I personally find it a bit of a non-event; I don’t care too much for the Fed rate and I don’t care much for trading the news. Today is another one of those days that only really starts in the evening. Everyone gets so excited for the Fed announcement and more often than not are disappointed about the outcome.

DAX Trading Strategy

FTSE trade earns +3%

The main highlight yesterday for me was a nice long on FTSE from the daily signals that I send to the member’s channel around 9am UK time. The long ran to target (which had a 3:1 reward ratio). This comfortably covered the previous loss I made on a FTSE short earlier in the session. I took a total of 5 trades (3 DAX trades and 2 FTSE trades). Breaking down my DAX trades, 1 was from the DAX trading strategy (DTI) and 2 were from the regular morning DAX signal. Both my FTSE trades came from the regular morning FTSE signal. Overall, I hit 1 winner, 3 losers, and closed one trade early.
