Frequently asked questions
Where do the levels come from?
From Straydogtrading.com. The indicator only draws the levels you paste in; it does not calculate or predict levels itself. You need an active Straydogtrading.com subscription to receive the daily levels.
Which charts does it work on?
Only on DAX instruments: the DAX index (XETR:DAX, also the free delayed feed, and TVC:DEU40), DAX CFDs such as FOREXCOM:GER40, TRADENATION:DE40 and IG:DAX, and the DAX futures FDAX, FDXM and FDXS. The full list is under supported tickers on the overview page.
Are the levels correct on a DAX future?
Yes. The levels are quoted on the cash index; on a DAX future the indicator shifts every level to the futures price with the offset that comes with the pasted block. You can fine-tune that offset during the day, or let the indicator measure it automatically.
Nothing is drawn — what now?
Check that you are on a supported DAX chart and that a complete block is pasted in the Levels field.
