{quote} (it hasn't worked yet....think you need some more support Billy) Took another 10 from DAX today. good bounce off the monthly pivot - prior reactions to this pivot in Sept were always very strong so, having missed the original short off the pivot, I still felt comfortable shorting for a few on the break of the close of the arrowed candle. {image}
got a couple off the high break.
i have finished for today.
still running at -2.

in 10 minutes "they" will announce flash PMI...they didnt announce it two hours ago.

i think this news announcements out of the plan makes the market more difficult.

Had an unusually clear afternoon so have been watching charts off & on and just took another 10 pips on DAX. I've noticed the 5am body working quite well as a zone on occasion, so as price appeared to be getting sucked nicely towards a fairly fresh demand zone on M30, I decided to try another wee punt as it crossed into the body of the 5am bar (arrowed). Trade was open & closed by the time I was back with a cuppa. I think I'll definitely leave it for the week now - I've really been pushing my luck!!

This is the M30 chart, to show the demand zone.

EDIT: Just for my record....the zone was touched nicely before price pulled back!

It's going to the pivot at 70 area. Could be very wrong though it's a tough day.

Soooo it got there in the end, though it drove me round the bend,
I lost pips, lost pips galore, an' it left me feelin' sore,
Buuuut, it got there in the end, Mr Green is now my friend,

Tried something a bit different today. Plan was to take the open of the 9am 1 hour bar as a reference point (line in the sand, if you will) and take trades in the direction of the 5 minute bar close. So, short if the 5 minute bar closed under the open of the 9am 1 hour bar, and long if it closed above. Took trades in both directions and it worked out very well. Seems to work fine most days. Of course we will get losers but as someone cleverer than myself once said, price has to go somewhere . And the winners seem to compensate well for the losers. Taking profit is subjective of course. Aiming for obvious targets (pivot, daily open, yesterday's high/low etc).

Hi all,
00-00 4 hour bar break, both cable and e/u have broken low but i have left it.

We'll see hope my 08-00 trade goes.
i am -2 down from yesterday plus overnight charge.
which i class as an overhead.
Trade well all.

Hi bud, looks like a good idea.
The uk open and break trades have been going for a long time,
i trade the 08-00 15 as you know, the 1 hour break is good and with your 5 minute bar even better.

You make a good point with aiming for pips.
Just keep your stats.
What i am trying to say is and nicely, i get 5 points and rip it, if i tried getting 100 which is ridiculous i would lose, if i tried getting 50 i would lose, if 20 lose.
i would have winners with 20 but when i got a fail it would be difficult to fix.

..right it is 08-11 and nearly time to trade the 08-00 break.

good contribution, the london open is very important.

you can also take the 9am open from the day before (yesterday) and see how the hourly closings behave.

it will probably still make 5 points , its just very close to the 00-00 high, so maybe get bounce .

Nope... would not be worth his/her while..... that's my creative bolt shot for life!! Extra verses can be added if anyone wants to shoot theirs ...in terms of 'feel', think banjo, beans & chaps.
