Evening shipmates
I have made the grand total of 0 trades today though i did win £100 on a scratchcard so not a total loss. What a slow rubbish day today on Dax/FTSE
Edit that, 45mins of movement on Dax and then more Zzzzzzz
I'll be back at it soon, i just have a lot on my plate at the moment and lost my mojo somewhat

Quoting haribos
Thanks, I am improving with the help of PivotProf and also having looked at hundreds of trades you and Steve have made. My main issues with trading that I've had to work on are: 1) Patience - generally I know where the market is going but in the past I've expected it to go there far too quickly so have got in way to early and then it does X retracements, stops me out (or I have to use big stop losses which cause big drawdowns on the occasions I'm wrong) before eventually going where I expected it to go. 2) Accepting when I'm wrong - I come from...
Hi Haribos, good solid observations, that in itself separates you from the herd. If its any help to you at all, one of my biggest achievements in trading that took me best part of 20 years to hone was to feel nothing at all with my trades, 0 emotional attachment either way, its just a binary pursuit right/wrong, and if your management is sound thats all it ever should be, though with pivots and a good grasp of price behaviour you have an edge.

DAX ranging between D-PP and D-Open at present with price mainly below D-PP. FTSE though is so far ranging just above D-PP ith little volume

DAX - Long

This is a cheap shot from the bottom of the range, just above D-Open.
Ideally, I get a low cost run at D-PP allowing me to get BE. Worst case it's a very small SL

EDIT: BE set
EDIT: Closed BE but that was a zero drawdown trade

Dow - that is a nice clean bounce off D-PP
It is still lacking a bit of momentum though... hopefully see a high test off this

Dow - Long

off D-PP

EDIT: BE after a slow grind to nowhere
this is second test since open S&P has also touched D-PP this time - so wary of a break through...

below D-PP
momentum suddenly picked up when S&P moved below D-PP giving this trade a quick boost

EDIT: Closed D-S1 +100
