My personal portfolio
An in-the-money stop triggered
Fortunately, I placed an in-the-money stop on my German DAX long after the spot Index rallied, with the help of US employment figures, to test the range highs just above the psychological 10,000 level. I had purchased the DAX September contract at 9920.8 on 2nd July. When it rallied sharply on the 3rd, I placed the stop which was triggered on the 7th, at 9940, including all spread-bet dealing costs.
