This thread is for traders to use it as a a guide. There is no right or wrong in a trade. There will always be bears and bull traders with different strategies on different time frames.

There is no 100% win and there is no simple way of trading and earning money. It requires serious study and screen time in the beginning.

Markets can only be traded in best case scenario with a good working and rigid followed strategy and above all........PATIENCE.

I trade the DOW also called YM & MYM/SnP500 also called ES & MES/Nasdaq also called (M)NQ/Gold with the Ichimokou indicator/2 MA lines/VWAPs/Market Profile and PP levels.

DOW still very side ways.

My Swing MA line flat, so the price jumps up & down around this line.
Waiting for US macro news and trade war news from the Trump war room.

DAX still bearish
Price even below my Stop MA & Swing MA lines.
If the price goes up, it usually goes to the middle area of these 2 MA lines, what should be +/- 12.100/+1.0% zone

So for both markets no clear Swing trade set up.
No counter trades on the "wrong" side of the Swing MA line.
Just trades on the Swing MA cross as in the NQ trade above

Tnx Brixen.

Its not that difficult as the String theory of Steven Hawking.
Just my simple Swing theory for DAX/DOW/NQ/RUSSEL and GOLD and likely more markets.
The logic of the strategy is no magic formula. Just a consequent/rigid following the rules.

Most of it is written on the first page @ the top.
Send me a PM if you have more questions

NQ Swing trade started again @ 7450. (3th time)

3 lot sold +25p
2 lot to go
SL BE again/Last 2 lot will be BE or 7500 zone

Still jumpy and sideways

If the price can't cross the Todays ETH POC @ 7470 zone, it will go test the 7460/50 again likely

First target to reach and conquer is 7500

Moved my SL 5p below my entry (2 lot). Maybe I survive in this trade.

7449/53 is the RTH POC & VWAP. Maybe they try to hold this level

Made +75p on the first 3 lot, so I can't get hurt with few points loss on the last 2 lots

SL BE again last 2 lot. Popped again from the POC level

OK Dutchy D.
I hope one day to switch to a more relaxed way of trading...if this way exists for me, and so I'm interested in this kind of trading.
Thanks again.

DAX still bearish and it takes time for a new Swing trade set up

DOW still sideways in a 1% zig zag waiting area. All my MA lines are gathered.
If any good news comes, the DOW could pop above the 26.100/+0.5% from Y close.
There I will try a Long Swing trade
