Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

long @34.801, no sl, tp open.

again long @34.801

I want to test myself for 4 hours on Russel posting entries/exits. Should have already been long at 2228.1 ....

long 12.22 2234.1

my entry was too quick, not patient. Lesson, wait for confirmation point, not catch falling knife.
I moved out the sell to just before 4 o'clock.

OK, usually I focus on only short trades, but am trying to extend the time frame a little, and yesterday my buy was correct, but early, and the sell was correct, but late (I had gone away from the screen after making the prediction..
The buy had a 10 point range, the sell 17 points.

So, today I am working on improving my timing while using the mix of time frames.

tried a short buy cut that short quickly.
still look for the right timing.

758am time 2238.2 short Russel

I added more contracts (M2K) at 2239.2 area.
I have to do something so will aim to hold this until just after 10am (almost 2 hours).
stop 2 points above previous high.

good day,

still holding all dax longs, position now in green due to add-ons.

with fomc minutes ahead, i understand this move down. big boys creating another dip, maybe BIG brn 34.000 and afterwards up (ofc. only in my book). just in case, placing heavy buy orders @34.005, 34.001, 33.999 and 33.995.

vola ahead @20:00 cet - good luck!

long @34.215, sl 34.199, tp open.

long @34.225, sl 34.199 tp open.

long @34.231, sl 34.199, tp open.

long @34.221, sl 34.199, tp open.

sl hit for all. red start.

long @34.175. no sl, no tp.

@34.175 again, same.

long @34.170, same.

the buy I was expecting for just after 10am was perfect, so that was a +25 point move down, and then a 23 point move up. Enough for today.

I will do a few more calls tomorrow-this helps by sharpening my focus.

ps. buy here at 2226.0

cons and good luck for your future trades. would be nice if you would focus on dax and dow while posting here.

very nice. sl to be.

ok, tomorrow I will post calls on dow and rus
