I am done with longs on DOW at above 43820 for a while, closed all longs
Looks like Elon has put some of his engineering into the back side of the DOW, great takes off and controlled landings, in order to repeat the cycle.
Missed D Pivot established on the 14th November almost hit, within few points, partly the reason to close longs, as well as hitting fib band upper zone
VIX and USD index rising, zo out of caution get out scenario
control landing in progress into the support zone
here we go again and so and so the dance goes on
Thank you Elon!!!!

Another very busy day
Traded after London Open and before US open - large swings, traded both ways, took advantage of the usually unusual moves inspired by ... possibly MM .... who knows, what is sure that they were there and gave huge profits
Than came NYSE open and good intra day swings were there, taken more longs that shorts during the session
What has been an important part of todays trading - when there were signals of the possible smaller PB, large profits have been taken at the points/price zones I pay attention to, these they have been mentioned on many occasions
Over the last few weeks I have added another indicator to M1 and M5 - at this stage it is too early to say anything about it, but it seems to be suiting intra day / scalping type trades. Some of these scalping trades harvested over 200 points, some scalping!!!

DOW is already over 2900 points higher from 4th Nov Low
then PB and since 19th November almost 1700 points up, that is some motoring up.

Gaps on DOW atm
There is always a choice to trade aggressively using shorter TFs M30 - M5 /M15 - M1 or less aggressively D1 if one is patient enough, that H4 - M30
PA and S/R principles apply to both

Going through your journals, it seems we have a similar way of trading and also the same pair as i also trade only us30.

So am thinking of posting my trade analysis here too, if that will be okay by you.

Hi martinez
That is perfectly ok with me
You are very welcomed!

First page is the most important as I periodically update with things I fend useful.
Do not torture yourself by reading the whole journal, the last 5 or so pages should be plenty, as long as the concepts mentioned on the first page are taken care of ether accepting the utility of them or rejecting them in relation to your trading strategy.
I am not insisting nor suggesting reading all posts, it is a journal and some wandering is certainly there with postings to prove it.
In trading profits are more important, being right is fine but less important than profits.
Wishing you many positive points.

Thinking to short DOW to close the gaps
Bitcoin is going down after hitting 99k area
shorting is very dangerous, only short after some kind of confirmation and aligning with H4 and M30


DOW can easily hit the BBIIGGGGG number above and Bitcoin is shall hit 100k, so one needs to be careful and keep the profits, still few days left this week, we shall see

Have scraped short on DOW for +80 points
Gaps shall eventually close, but not necessarily today
There shall be some profit taking before Thanksgiving kicks in proper
for me and a break
