Part Two:

Next to my Daily Future trading I follow/trade DEMO CDF charts (IG) on the same markets I trade Futures (for several Month's already). DAX/DOW/NQ & GOLD

In Daily Future trading I'm more focussed on (sometimes exhausting) scalping and therefore less focused on the longer relaxed and also profitable Swing trades.

Its also hard to trade Swing trades in Futures during a longer period then in CDFs I think.
If you open your CDF charts next Day you won't get a heart attack when the price dropped 100p.

CDFs can be traded in smaller fractions then Futures. Such as E1,00 or $2,00 contracts.
In CDFs you can also trade different directions at the same time.
You can stay in a longer period Swing trade but do some counter scalps during that Swing ride.

On longer/slower TF charts you filter out a lot of PA noise.

In smaller CDF contracts you can scale out easier then with one or two Future contracts.
Five 1 Euro CDF contracts is approx. the same value as 1 Future contract (DAX & DOW).

The trading strategy is based on the same stratgy (MA lines/%%%/MP) I use for my Futures trading, only trading on a slower TF chart and less risk because of lower point value per contract.
The smaller profit per point will be compensated by the longer runs (more points) you can make in a Swing trade

So not a new strategy. Just a different way of using the knowledge there is already available.
In my previous post I explained already my "Swing" MA strategy. In CDF trading it will be more relaxed trading.
Trades will take 1 Day to maybe a Week in some cases. Most of the time 2 or 3 Days per trade.

On the CDF platform I use naked Minute/Hour charts, No indicators, since I have all my info already in the Future platform. Very simple. KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. (or whatever the last S means)

I will post a little later what my further ideas are.
US market open soon.

DAX pulls back and looks like a H&S pattern here

NQ wedge is getting smaller every minute. I wait for a break out UP or Down

DOW has no idea where to go to.

DOW up and NQ down. I remember the opposite from Y open

NQ is gone test the 7500 now

Back up to its ETH Dev POC @ 7525 zone

Not following/trading the DAX now

Price on POC and for now in balance/waiting/sleeping

I couldn't take the DOW long while I took the NQ trade. Went all to fast

Hard to trade in 2 different diretions. Mind breakng

Not gone jump in the DOW anymore, Riding train goes to fast

Maybe counter short when +0.5% is hit (@ 115 zone)

The 26.050 should have been a good break out long as posted earlier. 50p or more

Techs are really hammered. Down again

Testing the -0.5% again . Goes deeper then -0.5%

Heading for -1.0% it looks @ 7450
