Easy, buy at resistance, sell at support

If I try to lose money I bet I'd still lose money, where as when I try to make I still lose.

We are all in our own personal matrix, where what ever we do fails where everyone else around profits.


Anyway, Call out, Town ( secretarys ), trade US session, take girlie out for dinner.

Hi, no real preference, I'm just using normal S/R and trade breakaways, psychological levels etc, same as I was using with FX, however I'm finding these indices, especially the DOW, love their trendlines and respect technicals alot better than FX.

I missed a nice inside bar yesterday on the 5m chart on the dow, right on support aswell, it then proceeded to move over 200+ up.
Yeah, I noticed that the indices do tend to be a little smoother riding than FX at the moment. Well, here's hoping the yourself and Turveyd keep up the posts so that hopeless numpties like myself can hopefully one day emulate the results you guys achieve.

Yeah mines mini sized futures, thats what it says anyway, I'm finding DAX likes to find support or resistance at every 10 points or around these areas, so 6490, 6500, 6510, 6520 etc easy 10 pip scalps ^^
With a 1 pip spread for me and min 5 SL makes 10 pips actually scalpable.

DAX literally, moves up a few pips, pauses for like 1min no movement at all, then reverses.

The germans wouldn't like to have a messy market

I'd leave me outta that for a while, unless you really want just 4 pips LOL

Getting head sorted, so results should improve.


Dax would of just hit my SL +4 way better than -9.

No worries, I'm finding this thread more of a journal for myself to analyse past trades etc.

DOW & DAX are falling both rejected their respective fib levels. ftse broke through that trend line. Right now currencys just looks messy

dax is screaming to me sell, support turned to resistance....5min chart, no clean break through the trendline yet though...waiting, waiting...

I did spot the GU long, before it's big move up, I wasn't expecting the big move but you never do, I was expecting 10pips and repeat.

FX isn't that bad, some okay setups but there all risking 10 to make 5 for me, where as index's are definately more point and shoot, this week anyway.

My main focus is DAX, I just love the 1 pip spread it's as cheap as chips, 3pips extra say 50 trades per week that adds up.

Bounced off my 500, sitting over the 250, my plan is enter on visible support near the 500 and see where it goes.


Just ordered a 5.3" Samsung Note phone, I tested 1 in a shop and found it big enough to trade off, while not being to big to carry around / hide at clients, means I can trade over the holidays with the kids full damn time easier.

DAX better make me £26 per month to cover my costs LOL

Nice, I can't trade on small screens, I'm used to this resolution @ 1920x1080, anything less and I'm not comfortable, guess I'm used to seeing the candles certain sizes etc, weird! I recently got myself a Sony Vaio E17 laptop, its faster than this gaming PC I trade on, quite silly really!! lol

I don't read candles as such, just got to be able to see my MA's and not go blind in 10mins like I do with the I-phone, being able to trade in the park or at a play centre, or at a client is a bonus for me, Ipad is a bit to obvious and hard to carry and nickable.

Shame on the bad timing of the call out, a lot of money to be made there


Woulda possibly turned me positive on the week.

the DAX is looking so easy they might aswell just send up the cheat sheet for the day and get it over with, or better still a few Mil!!!

Ohhh I did see the Asda ones looked nice and big, tempting!!

Food I think first as I've not eaten today expecting a big meal, then take the mountain bike out and hit some hills as I'm in Scotland next weekend riding and my legs where weak as weak last ride.

Compared charts DOW to my US30 and they match price wise, explains why my 00 is working, does yours seem to ?? you might be better off trading via a Dow chart / US30 rather than the future price as you get back the 00 entry which we both use.
