Don't trade the opening moves - trade the reaction to the opening moves.

Agreed - I am told that works because the indices, especially, have a predilection for "whippy" opens.

Finish at ten
If you thought Dax gave a few opportunities - then look at FTSE ( FTSE not traded by me)

Dow did well again - First entry was a stop out but looking at it I didn't twig that I had entered on the down swing of the " whip" at the open.

Dow - not bad today.
Loser, one "Rabbit in headlight" moment of inaction, and another winner: Comment or hints to improve ?

It's always easy to say you should-have-done-this-or-that looking back on those ''rabbit in the headlights'' moments. In reality, only you were there with boots on the ground. Unless someone else here was looking at the same move at the same time and played it differently, you can never honestly say you'd have done one thing or another.

If you twisted my arm, I'd have said you could have seen the period of ''violent-indecision'' just before the move as a heads-up to be careful but in reality, price then broke upwards from below the cloud in one single, chunky move, with little pullback along the whole way, so I'd say there was no way to see that coming.

If you want to trade the open of the Dow,. Your stop is probably too small ... I trade the Dow half size compared to the dax... Nice trading T. .. Keep it up!

Range spiked up and best left alone for dust to settle. Couple of handfuls of pips so still worthwhile this morning. ( keep an eye on Pivots and round numbers)
Dow later.

Hey turnip15!

Your charts have been extremely helpful especially sharing trades that have stopped out. Do you mind marking your exits for the winning trades? Thank you again for sharing!

Hey Guys,

I took a short trade EURAUD and closed it out when it went against me by 8 pips. Any advice on a better entry?

Dow -done for the day:
Made a hash of early start out of the gate -hesitated and got left behind. But made a few pips later on.

Second Red bar left would make a top of a consolidation ( albeit a small one) -the green line is the bottom area ( not to the pip) of the consolidation. Your short entry is about right and your stop would then be the top of the consolidation. But is this currency very volatile ? Are you trading the first coupler of hours after your exchange opens etc. Read Rockypoint's posts -he is the man. And look at Indices - forex is not the only game in town.
Other people here are more experienced than I am but I thought I would add my two pence -I hope it helps :-)

It was set to 20 pips but I did exit at 8 pips as it moved against me. I didn't want to take the full 20 pip loss.

Thank you Turnip15 - Maybe I need to pick better pairs. AUD was about 16 on the 4 hour power indicator this morning.
