fundamental sell-off / trigger
I know, I figured it that much. But for a newbie trader like me it's a "omg, hands off keyboard" state. Most of my observations/pre-analyses and charts are screaming and hiding in the corner until things settle down a bit. 700 pips move in one direction in less than a week, geez.

lol, that was a pure TA "micro" move so you can't complain much that didn't follow especially with the current momentum ...lol.

Well intraday retest of breached daily S (1.389x) completed. "Chop" in a nice 90 tick range around the corner with the next H4 close...we'll see.

Trying to, but it takes a lot of experience and confidense to sell a 500+ pip drop without a proper strategy trigger. Especially when you are trading with real account and risking real money
The most annoying is, 3 days in a row, I get my strategy to give me triger at 6-7 am when I'm asleep. At least, the good thing is that the entries I get are fairly good ones. Just I'm not up to take them
But in the end, it all comes with experience and successful trades. Playing small and safe until then.

And trade a little smaller if you are just starting now. Moves are much larger, so less leverage needed to get a nice profit ;-)

The last 2 days are the kind of days where you either get rich or broke . Wide and fast movements with no respect for any support/resistance.
But its amusing to watch how pros handle those. Codus ppl
Well depends on your TF I guess. Short TF traders that avoid even glancing at longer TFs goes crazy when key levels and directional moves are in play because of the wide ranges intraday (they usually start calling extremes (2.0xxx or 0.8xxx) but if you are looking for a swing trade, missing the first 50 or 100 ticks of a 6 months trend is really nothing.

For example if a downtrend is confirmed now I can bet you that last break out point is probably going to be tested with daily again but not in a extreme panic move so you may load when the action is settle and confirmed and ride it from it or in the worse case scenario you can take the next break when full momentum is aligned....

Either get rich or broke only apply if you can't recognize a directional move in the making and start jumping on every trade....my 2 cents

agree.

Sisse, what are you looking for at the daily frame to have a confirmation of downtrend ? ( to aim for 34xx etc.)

I never understood this concept - if you're right about the market and riding the coat tails of the big money what brokers in their right mind would trade against these kinds of moves to try and take out their retail clients?
