Topping Out the FDAX

May 27th, 2011 8:12 AM UTC by admin Leave a reply »

That FDAX is a great trading instrument because of the volatility it offers and good liquidity.  Here is a bid ask Footprint chart on a 1 minute time frame from this morning that I couldn’t pass up showing. It offers two valuable things.

  1. A topping pattern that you would only see on a Footprint chart. (longs stuck at the high) and,
  2. Short term reference point based on an area of volume that served as resistance.

The second screenshot below developed as I was writing. Notice how this trade continued to play out in our favor!
