Narrow range so far this morning.. The 5 day ADR is at 360 and so far today's range is only 96, thus fewer point available

Using the S20 allows for tighter, more advanced entries

Note how the WRBs and spikes in volume help

Agreed. I took the 20s for a spin this pm. 90 points in no time I also added the MA related to your envelope, and I found WMA13 handy for timing entries.

GM - WMA 13 on S20 is very fast....

Dax suffering from that big post close drop in Nas re Facebook's 22% fall. Only 50 pts range since XO, so just trading "levels" aka SS

Makes for easy scalping. Candles here coloured according to close above/below WMA13.

Failed continuation off of WMA13@20s signals the end of the strong push down, and signals for 2.06pm long entry.

How do you know if the above zone the aqua colored will act as resistance or will break like butter like it happened on this case?

Thank you for your post.

As you will remember from reading my post at the top of Page 300, I only trade Dax and Nasdaq indices Intra Day on the lower time frames and this requires me to look at the higher time frames each morning before I start my trading day.

If you will be kind enough to re-post your chart giving the same information as on my chart posted below I will answer yo question as best I can.

FYI, I have noted 1 piece of information from your chart and called it C-1 and I will refer to it in my reply to your anticipated post.

Regards

Islander

The overnight action in Dax stayed above its hourly MA.& its 15,200 BRN and it failed to get there in its early action after XO, suggesting a move higher which duly happened.

The failure to reach the 15,350 SS was another clue which led to Dax turning back down

USD / JPY M1 Chart as per Frag383's post

Before FO at 07:00 GMT we can see the poke up into the Supply Zone, followed by a Lower High at 7:09 which then held ABOVE that earlier Low. The 2 candles following FO were, as I would expect, with higher volumes and I see NO special significance WRB-wise in either.

Price then dropped into the area of the prior M1 Low, actually making a Lower High, C-1 (Clue 1)

The 07:12 candle was small and had very low volume, C-2, an alert. This was followed by the High Volume WRB at 07:12 which broke up thru the 50 SS. Again, Sellers pushed price back down to the MA and there was another push up into that High Volume Spinning top. This is today's high - so far.

I would have Sold after the Lower High at the SS and then looked at the higher TF charts to find the potential support areas.

WE can NEVER KNOW IN ADVANCE which area will hold, but by researching our chosen contract over at minimum of 100 Trading Days on all TFs, we may obtain an idea of what that contract has historically done in similar situations
