Am eyeing that daily pivot level.
Not going to fade into it... am looking to short.

I've looked at the Elliot Wave again, and it's possible that instead of the wave being completed at Wave 5, it's actually still Wave 3 and now Wave 4 topped this morning. And we are now seeing the beginning of final Wave 5.

So looking for weakness between 13060 and 13070 (pivot)

It's too indecisive for me approaching Day Close so no trades for today/tonight. Net +233 on DAX today

Nice! I managed to lose money on the DAX today. Oh well! Still learning and there's always tomorrow :-)

Hey EddyL,

It's actually good that you're experiencing the feeling of the loss.
The more it feels normal and less self-critical, the more you can control your emotions, the better you'll be able to handle being in the market.

Look over your trades and focus on understanding why the losses occurred.
It's not just about saying "i was wrong", although that's emotionally a good start.
Rather, it's better to know if an indicator made you trigger a trade.
Was there confirmation bias? Was the indicator signal valid in one timeframe but not on a higher timeframe? etc etc.
Really analyse it to look for a good definition of an "error".

The more you eliminate these "errors" the more you'll catch the trades in your direction.

good morning,

up till now, dax is -5% below ath. if i´m right that this move is only profit taking, it´s about time for a rebound.
if i´m wrong, dax is in correction and this can continue till 12.240 (=-10%).
below that, it´s in baisse mode.

good luck!

Thank you! Really appreciate the comments and encouragement! I think the issue yesterday was a long bias in the first part of the day because of the way the 4 hr was looking (Rejection of move below 13000 and some divergence). Then I had to leave in the afternoon and chickened of putting in a trade that I wouldn't be able to watch. Was surprised to see that it would have been a successful trade when I got back :-\

But, I've made my peace (hopefully for good) with losing money and treating it as a learning experience rather than a threat or intimidation by the market :-)

If you look on the weekly or monthly chart, then not really that heavy. Back to 10 sma on weekly is reasonable. But that's my newbie opinion :-)
