I bailed for 24 pts on that buy. Whilst I can see Dax going higher, I am more worried about the Dow, which has IMO could continue to fall another 100+ pts to its 38.2% retrace ~27,6780.

As always, TWT - and the arrival of the US TRaders....

Dax & Dow M1 this afternoon.

No surprise that Dow was the one to trade, with a 1360 pt rally before its first Pull Back to the MA

Great stuff Jono.
Thanks Handy - hope they may be of some help.

Stay safe

PS after the huge rally, especially in Dow / S&P IMO we should expect a much narrower range - subject to any new news shock

So this happened. After the initial pre Cash Open (XO) fall there was 4 hours of sideways action in a 75 pt range. We left after an hour, with better things to do.

Then ~ 11:15 GMT - chart time, so 12:15 in Europe Dax had another fall of some 175 pts since which time, Dax has again traded side-ways.

Let's see if Dow offers any better trading opportunities

Whenever we see a lot of wicks and tails on the M5 candles we know that its a difficult session to trade.

However, one of our group went back to his screen late in the session and sold near the highs for + 600 pts. Well done R

Note how the first OB Band (envelope) helps show potential shorting areas

yes the bands are useful and I ajust the paramenters to different TFs
Bands also are v useful with volume candles
Make sure losses are small and profits are bigger!

Agreed and not only do different time frames need different values, but so do different market conditions as seen via the Average Daily Ranges as in Keltner Bands

I use keltner channel and/or bollinger with a higher STDV, good for trading to the mean (against the trend as perceived when taking the trade) or with the trend
Static and dynamic band/s, a good mixture

Use the higher Time Frames to check which "levels" are in play and then trade during the most active periods. Walk away from your screen when in doubt

So its was "the early bird that caught the worm" morning with Dax up 150 pts in the first half hour before XO.

Most of the move was done by XO +15 min which I consider the start of a long - in m1 terms - consolidation, so coffee and exercise time till the US wakes up
