I would say that trade has been done. I know a handful of people that had that.

Hi Wizard,
I have a general question. You mentioned in your earlier post that you are waiting for a rounded retest on Silver.
It has found support on a higher level (yellow rectangle) in this case.
Would you take a touch trade on the double top if it gets there in the future?

No, I never try to sell a former high on a touch because that is pre-empting that there will be a resistance there. I am only interested in acting on confirmed levels.

The exception to this is if we get swing failure. If you see that at the former top in Silver then you can start looking for shorts.

Sorry, I think I have not write it clear.
I meant the double high, the lower horizontal line.

missed this long on bund for a few pips, at 127.55

Nice level at 128.28, gap level+resistance. I'm not going short there because stock indexes at daily resistance

Tom, what do you do when you have a limit buy on a nice support and price reach it fast with a big red candle? Do you think that it's risky because of strong selling?

I love acceleration into my level but I want the market to have been moving that way for several H1 candles in a row. I don't like trading the first H1 bar that is accelerating out of a sideways congestion.

ok!
When trading bund, do you pay attention to its correlation with stock indexes?

Good Trade. How are you using ATR lelvels to your trade ? Can you please explain a little bit here ?

Hi Cprao

I just use this as an extra confluence for my levels.

So if my level on the daily chart pretty much lines up with the ATR top or bottom when I switch to the hourly, it adds more weight for me that we will get a reaction (bounce or B/T and rounded r/test) at the level.

It's just another layer of confluence for me.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Heres an example.

Not the greatest level but hopefully you get what I mean.
