{quote} Hi Derek. The discretion always alters depending on the look of PA at the time and what went before; {image} In this instance, there was also a Market Profile line (blue line - extreme from previous day) at that level and look left, it worked as support a couple times before too... it just 'felt' as if it should react there as a minimum. Regarding the -8. My auto stop is -10, but i will alter it, if i have an EW count in my mind, then i will usually not expect the last sig peak or trough to be broken and i would prefer to make the stop a...

Bit scrappy today, had a couple of taps but no fills for what would have made a big difference me thinks, still;

I know I said I wouldn't trade Dax spot, but I don't anticipate I'll be back today because of meetings etc.
+20
Edit, there were better entries but I was late getting up!

I'm done. Two trades on Spreadbets. I know, i know, i'm going around in circles... I simply feel the need to trade live, but i'm still not ready for contract size trades.
So i've used the 400 trades chart for analysis, but taken trades on SB platform (doesn't have tick charts). Yes the spread as a percentage is horrendous. The Dow would be better, as would the Dax, but i've tried them so many times now and they just don't trend the same way. All things considered, i still prefer to trade the NQ.
The great thing is, if i can get +21.5 points as i did today, that equates to +86 in ticks, so i would just need to run bigger stops to replicate in contracts!

Can't resist switching to demo on 133 tick after the open hour, but...
Don't you just hate it when this happens;
There once was a time that i would have been happy with a +12)
I hate it when there is a further retest to take you out before immediately going to target!
Not quite sure how it spiked me for a -1 though. If i were live with this, i would be going mental right now)
