If only I could fly..

I wanted to start this journal to write down some adjustments i try to make to my trading, mostly experimental ....this can be related to MM, entry, exits, time related bars vs only price related bars....about trading platforms, things i learned, what i have to do still etc......also a place to interact with fellow traders,not all traders agree with me on that but i like also to be a little social.

I dont know yet how this journal will develop....we will see

At this moment i only trade cfd's : DAX and NQ ......in de future i want to add a third index so there is allmost allways a index wich i can trade during cash index opening hours.....




Today's dax key zone was Yesterdays Low.....

Today I stayed on the sidelines . .. And tried not to look at the charts. I have the weekend te evaluate my trades.... Happy about this week but December been better.. . That said what do you guys think about risk/MM.

you can go all in all out.. . Scale in scale out.. All in scale out or scale in all out... I prefer the first one as I tried all.... I have a max risk of 0.8% but prefer not to get let it hit.... Try to close at 0.5% if it just not works out .. And structure is broken... Offcourse everyone likes a good RR but I take this only from my past trades as you never can be sure where price will go.. In hindsight it's easy... But live its different ...

There are so many things I can still work on and that keeps it very interesting. ... Have a nice weekend ladies and gentlemen

A early morning dax chart.....for another time it looks like the YL or in this case the Friday's low zone is a important zone again ...let's see what the rest day will bring ....

Another great day on the dax.....not totally expected price would make such a move down....what i loved again about today when price went through YH zone price came back to the zone for a litlle visit and made another nice move down.....was a great day this far for some scalping.....

and back there again.....

Last week was quite a difficult week especially for the first 3days....the last 2 days of the week where quite similar .. I had some moments I thought I saw this happening before .. Closed another week positive in the end . I found out that I have to improve on losing vs my psychology luckily I stayed calm took a step back and didn't tilt.

Another thing where I am struggling with for a while is daily, weekly, monthly targets ... I discussed this issue with several people already and didn't came to a satisfactory outcome .... About all possibilities there is something to say about .. . On some days you can be happy with a certain amount or pips but on other days there was much more to grab... What to choose what to do? Should I look at €.... Or at pips/ticks. . A max number of setups? Or trade every valid setup up within a pre defined time frame... I think I need a sort of a target but still not sure ... I see a few people have €or pip targets ...

Soon I hope to find an answer to the question ....

When did you switch to only cfd’s? You used to trade pairs right?

Sorry for the late reply .. just saw the message.... Yeah traded pairs.. But my trading style fits better to indices. Since I changed and got focused on just a few instruments my trading improved tremendously....
