Went long on opening price after initial move had already bounced once at it, and was close to 50% of previous high to low on daily chart. Scratched as it came back, but price subsequently moved to 4510.

On third test thought it could break to the downside. Scratched after it came back from 5 ticks on side. Then went back in again but this time I was wrong, so I got out of my position after reaching 1st downside limit.

Entered after price had reversed at a daily support turned resistance, which served also as a bottom neckline and it went through some support around what had been the POC of last thursday. No volume to support a breakout came about, so this was scratched.

Shorting at the higher extreme of the range, with a stop target just above the high. Took some profit at previous support level (shame it went 4 ticks further), then nicked a couple of more ticks on the reversal.

Still aiming to short the extreme expecting a solid moved down. Close tracking S&P retracement levels continued to indicate a bias to the downside because of a failure to go much further above 15565, and DAX was still bearishly hovering below 8000. Unfortunately, that 8.000 mark was broken in a rally which forced me out.

Rally in DAX was holding till Bernanke opened his mouth.

Overall I failed to believe that despite it's size, the market still wanted to fill the opening gap.
