{quote} So 630 zone straight to 760 zone.....interesting , in line with a wild horse move, take into account!
686 is on that thart too. Not drawn because a little under weight. But it's stopping us premarket today. Yes, we rallied a lot already, and games have not started yet.

Take into account that:
1. today 1st day of freedom here and there are more than 20° at 9CET;
2. my little daughter wish to go the sea after her school video lessons;
3. I'm flat;
4. I probably will not buy anything above 700 zone;
5. I'm thinking to take 1 day off and go to the sea with a couple of my sons........

Anyway prices above 700 could lead to last week gap close 770 zone, no way.

I'd say you probably need a day off.

{quote} I'd say you probably need a day off.
Many bills to pay Caiuss, mortgage H1 payment , 2 sons without job for this Covid, another need cash to start his new real estate business (suspended by Covid for now), some previous paymenst due to my beloved Mum, ordinary/extraordinary expenses large family, no other decent source of income, only expenses....
If I stop trading, there could be consequences here!
and even when I take an half day off I feel not comfortable on this scenario!

+70 pips DAX CFDs.

FLAT again.

Probably I'll go to the sea after my little daugher school video lessons at midday.
I will take a decision until midday.
For now stop trading.

GM - continually buying the pull backs / higher lows - last but one
for +50. Then selling the LHs.........KISS

Now banked as another HL so a wedge is forming - time for coffee

Hi Islander, I have a question.

You're indicating the HL with a precision under 1 bar (i.e. you're spot on the bar). This is easy in hindsight, but how do you know that exactly that bar is the HL before the next bar forms? Further, can you pinpoint the moment of the low on that bar, so you can enter in a low risk trade? You can't use the chart as that is lagging. What else do you use?

Hi Caiuss - I posted this chart from my laptop as an illustration for buying pull backs. I actually trade off a dedicated desktop which I only use for trading - nothing else, not posting, surfing, emailing etc. I also have several M5 charts open on my laptop with additional levels marked

On that machine I have only S20 and M1 open, so I am seeing 3 candles every minute which makes entries around my selected levels much easier and with much less lag. I'll copy and post a chart later

Via my laptop, I post live in a small chat room

Regards

Islander

Thanks Islander. I too use dedicated computer(s) for trading.
I don't ask for spoon feeding. Just curious about your decision process here.

OK - as I posted earlier, its coffee time, so I was able to mark up, save and transfer to my laptop this S 20 chart. Hope it helps

20,000+ hours of screen time, 1,000s of saved and analysed charts and 1,000s of day's with every swing analysed also help

Thank you Islander. I take it you only use charts?
I still don't understand how do you know those "will be" the turning points with a reasonable degree of probability (as it seems from your chart). Perhaps you don't trade all of them ?

Below is a chart from my screens on FDXM. This is S10. You can see where I mark the X. Those are failed swings that actually looked good candidates for a peak.
The V instead mark the successful peaks that were only visible after the fact, most of the time well after the fact and are hard to trade because of a very low R/R.

On a failed entry, I'll usually average scaling up the position and reducing it on break-even (Brixen style, but much tighther).

So far the DAX moves much more that it trades (i.e. quotes move on no-trades and no-volume) and this is the issue I'm struggling with hence the question.

It seems markets don't care about US/China rhetoric and focus only on real money and facts. This is a fact, a real fact...... {image}
There's a difference between trading and investing. They bought Carnival, Facebook, Boeing, the banks and a lot of other depressed securities. It does not guarantee those don't halve in price before coming back. They can probably wait a lot longer that what we can.

Hi Caiuss - I'm happy to continue this discussion, but I don't think Brixen's Trading Journal is the correct place. I suggest my old thread would be better
