About this strategy

System crashed because, at C2, one can only trade the FDAX. With CFD-DAX this would not happen even for these historically exceptional circumstances!

=======================================

We recommend to use DAX-CFDs with 1 EUR for 1 DAX point, so you are more flexible with your money management. 1 DAX contract is, in general, equivalent with 25 CFDs (check with your broker). Then, to be on the save side, you should have 80,000$ for 1 CFD-DAX; this amount is only necessary in extreme and random situations.

You should be able to be long and short at the same time. Some broker do not allow this trading style.

Be patient; on the long run, you will win!

=======================================

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.
