Its getting a move on now, thankfully ive been busy all day so wasnt tempted to enter any earlier, ive learned over the years to let it do its thing before jumping in and getting burned.

Yeah I don't like days when it's uni-directional like it has been, everyone says trade the trend but trouble with trends is you never know when they're going to end or indeed if they have already ended.

I managed to make +36 today all long DAX against the trend. I was very careful to pick only the best opportunities where I thought there was likely going to be a bit of a reaction off a pivot or some other level. But mostly just sat and watched the index go south

It tires you out doesn't it.
+36 is still a good tally for a day's session, don't forget that mate

Gidday Steve
I am scratching my head at the moment when looking at your post, your chart says the daily low you entered above is 13393 were as my chart is displaying yesterdays daily low 13474.
All of my charts index, gold etc post the previous days low.
Just thought I would mention it.
You and everyone are putting up great posts.
Cheers.

Hi dusky, it's my broker uses different start times I think, I'm not great with pc's so just use pivot Prof as is without any tweeking so my levels may not match others. Still works a treat though

Yes guess it comes to the old saying, do not fix anything that is all ready working.
