Hello,

I am a novice in what it comes to trading and i decided to give it a go trading DAX ( small spread on my broker/and good moves intraday)
I've read a couple ten's of pages and hundreds of posts but i have some questions:

@deltaone : are you kind to explain your strategy/algorithm ? for intraday trading ? ( as less time consuming for you, i dont want to steal your time)
@deltaone : what target you had? bc i see all this celebratory posts....(also i don't understand anything from your post with all the numbers. where you said target reached on DOW trades ).
@deltaone :if you may...can you point me to the posts where i can find info on what you are talking about in post 37070 for #1 and #2 refferences ?
@littspaniard if you are kind : what is the indicator that shows red arrow on the above posts ?
@all : what kind of trade amount do you use ? ( my platform let's me pick from 1-500 indices). what volume you use? how much from your total margin ?

And i dont know if this kind of requests are accepted or tolerated and for that i will apologize from now(or if it is already happening):

Is it possible from one of the experienced traders to post Technical analyses for dax (higher timeframe) to see if it is bull or bear trend , from time to time ? so that the rest to know it and not get caught with the pants down?
Bc i've seen in page 1834 on deltaone's post that he generally trades intraday the direction the market is already going (bear/bull)

P.s Also, some explained examples of entry points would be appreciated.

Thanks.

hi shabba,

thanks for your questions. since family is sleeping and iīm a night owl, iīll respond:

first of all, an advice: if you are a novice to trading, you should stay out of trading indices. most likely, you will blow up your account in a short time - without any knowledge of what indices are/how they are drafted, which fundamentals drive them, which trading hours they have and so on, itīll be very hard. thereīs no short cut to wealth or success, esp. with this underlying. it took me many years (not only that relative short time since iīve started this thread), and i donīt want to write a trading book. even if so, you would not make it by reading that book without years of experience.

ad 1) i will not explain my algo - esp. in an open internet forum. no one will even sell the goose that lays golden eggs. i hope you understand. in preparation of your further investment of time, you should start at page one. no pain, no gain.

ad 2) i will not declare which goal i had. firstly, this information is strictly private. secondly, that number is useless because itīs only my goal and you have to make your own goal. why are you trading? how much time can you afford? financial freedom is relative and also the price someone is willing to pay in order to reach it.

ad 3) just go to my network and search for older posts of ata and any post of bones. iīve never read a trading book, but if i had to name one, it would be bulkowskis work on candlestick patterns.

ad 5) my sl for manual trading equaled -1% and my tp +3%. daily risk budget was -5% and zero tolerance of a red week. i would have changed parameters after a red week. but again, this is also relative. you should think of what you aim at and what you want to risk for it.

again, you might take a look at bones: he is mostly into forex, but if you search his posts, you will find also higher time frame analysis of dax. or you search my thread for posts with attachements. good luck!

all the best

rule no. 1) posting trades after they are closed is an absolute no go (like "i got long this morning, hours later i made profit.")
rule no. 2) if you have a trade idea, please be so kind and post long entry/short entry, sl and tp before entering the market or within minutes after doing so.
rule no. 3) make sure that it is clear for others which market you are trading (cash or future), and which instrument you are using (cfds/futures/options).
rule no. 4) please state a reason for your trade idea. charts are welcome, but not a must.

Your comment means nothing otherwise!
