UC DZ rocks again. Did you run it as a break or as WZ? Either way, it's all good.

Set-Up for the DAX v1 06:00 - 07:00 but really didn't like the look of it...too much wick, not enough body. If there is any one look that causes hassles with this thing, especially the early variant with its larger spread, it's the doji-style one. Stayed out.

DAX 06:00 -07:00 - Not Traded

Folks I'm dying here, dunno whether to laugh or cry
OK so went short GU at 1.3189 on breakout of the 15 min bar, the b@stard IMMEDIATELY REVERSED YET AGAIN!
Got a stop loss at 5 pips and that's it, closed out
OK maybe the stop is too tight but I absolutely hate being on the wrong side of a trade.....rather close than risk losing even more
Have a good day y'all, need to ponder
used to be undecided but nowadays can't make my mind up

Second batter up...

Took a little bit of work though. Small head-fake up into the body (I was expecting this long move) was followed by a drop back out and I was in a counter-trade situation.

Unusual signs of indecision from The Monster meant that I had to spend time adding-in and working the trade but it all worked out ok, with me eventually closing it all out for just under +5%. It's all good...

DAX 06:00 - 08:00 (Done WZ North into the body of the candle...eventually). +5%

GU H4 ran clean on both a straight vanilla break of the low as well as out of the Upper Wick-Zone.

AU hasn't been so straightforward, with no Billy-Break so far but it looks like the +5 would have been bagged on a WZ move short from the Upper Zone.

Tough one, Buddy.

Looking at it (always soooooooo easy to see it all in hindsight), even though it would have looked initially like a short was on going by the higher time-frames, down on the m15, I'd have been cautious of the PA on the 08:00 bar...that's one big wick down there! If anything, I'd have been tempted to scalp the retrace.

Of course, I am also using the Schaff indi and it was pointing to a long bias as well. That adds a good bit of weight to the decision-making process for me now.

As an aside, though I don't trade it often, if I do, I prefer to trade the previous bar, as it seems to show a smaller set-up bar and moves away from it cleaner.

Just my tuppence-worth. Billy will set you straight and after all is said and done...sh*t happens.

AU on the H1 is a classic TooSlow 1-2-3. Wish I'd seen it, lol.

There's some risk off in the market, look at drops in UJ and DAX......
Be interesting to see if they come back
@Lem thanks for feedback, will study.....like you say sh*t happens, like it did in 2008 and the markets have been in 'fooked up mode'/'Central Banks control everything' ever since

Certainly something going on. Just picked up a hefty short on my Diff account (Wall St 30 / GER 30 Future Diff (Dec)).

A cross-post but hopefully ok in this case.

Probably regret this but that chart has double/triple tops - add in NZ news ........I'm selling. For the very brave only. High spreads getting quoted around 5.
