Looking for alternatives until the pair trades a bit more normal. Have looked at EJ (Choppy) and UCAD (even more choppy, but brutal breakouts sometimes) so far ... EURUSD is most liquid, but historically awful to trade for me lol.
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Did you sometimes trade UCAD for 15, 20 pips or just the wickzone?

Morning all.

Dax, nothing doing yet. Looks like it is coiling to explode.

Cable, 00-00 4 hour bar. Low broke. I am short looking for a few.
Then trade the 08-00 15 minute break.
Trade well all.

I would bag my percents on The Dead Zone and then often let it run if it looked like it had momo, yes.

Wick Zone is traded for what you can get, so it could be +1, +5 or +100.

No matter what method I have the entry on, once things are running, I will wrangle the trade. I will use my scalping method to add-in on pullbacks and also add-in on the actual counter / pullback as well if the notion takes me.

Me too! Took the earlier +16 from the two tests of a 11728 resistance but missed the break out below the days lowest low.

Wow, how do you keep track of what is at risk that way at all time? So fast, amazing.

If The Monster plays to form, there will now be a period of faffing about and trickery. Usually a good time to go wash your hair or something...careful

I am lucky enough to have a large bank behind me and the proportion risked - while it may seem large as cash - as a percent of that bank it is small, so all I am looking at is whether all the legs are green or red and playing them off one another.

Green, red, green, red, green, green, green.

Hi Lem, yes patience is everything. I've almost stopped looking at the currency pairs, there aren't many days when I can't find something on the DAX that suits my style of trading. Makes it sound like I'm an old hand - but I'm new to the DAX since I started following this thread having had too many SL hits on my usual go-to currency pairs (EU and GU). Not sure Renko entirely fits with this thread! I spent sometime reading through the thread last night - I don't want to dilute/distract from the excellent work - it was the shiny DAX that drew me here like a fly on one of those blue zappy things

Cheers, Dave

Nice... Go for Aussie broker for that if you like.... BTW when would you counter? Did you placed a order for entry or manual?

I missed the first break-up with pending order( wrong numbers), then entered manually on retrace, I was prepared to enter short with same lot at mid line to counter and then on the bottom of the candle with double lot.
I had IC markets in the past, it was good.

I see ... that way you can basically place a 5 pip target and 100 pip catastrophe sl, if it ever happens ...

Nothing wrong with Renko. I like the look of it myself but can't be bothered with the faff of offline charts and all that bumpff.

The core of this thread is to follow Billy's and Claudia's lead. Find a niche, make it your own and run with it.

You are at home here!

I will have a Dead Man Stop based on a higher time frame.

Stops placed on HTF, trades entered on Lower.

It'll never be 100 pips though, lol.

Now that was a fun way to start the day. Closed + 28 after a few re-quotes.

Not perfect but good enough - and sometimes that's fine.

The red line below is the edge of the micro Demand Zone I was looking at price moving to. Didn't quite get as far as I had hoped and I bailed as I was getting turning-point pa (successive higher lows).

DAX 1-min Scratch Scratch +0.5 +1 +1.5 +2 +3 +4 [+12]
