Just curious is there anyone in this forum (DAX and SPX) that uses Value Area and POC as a basis to their trading strategy?
do NN count?

I tend to use Value Area for intraday stuff, but in combination with VA falling into a larger and older S/D and then I look for a move confirmed by tick range chart + cumulative delta + candle pattern on m15. Sometimes for intraday, I will miss the first push to see if the momentum is building, but then catch the major move until it's exhausted.

However I don't find point of control that useful, it doesn't tell me anything new that isn't already obvious from the chart. I think it also depends on the individual trading style. I have a way of figuring out the most likely turn points through cross timeframe analysis of S/D and volume so I have no need to know if buyers took control yesterday at a particular price. For other people, they might be only looking to analyse hourly charts and they will find POC useful.

Not sure about that - today price touched a previous untouched POC (9192) and stopped in its tracks.
Tomorrow we may still move on to the next untouched POC...

Yes me too, but you have to know the market conditions and the overall sentiment of the market. cant just follow S/R blindly or you wont do very well. Bought 5 contracts at 9130 holding for 9500

Different brokers have different gaps, and maybe it will but it could go 1000 points away before coming back! Or maybe it doesnt close the gap for 10 years

Hi Godan94,

I read somewhere that statistically at least half the gap fills 81% of the time. There are many strategies on web where traders try to make profit just by trading gaps. Since you will never be 100% sure of any trading day's fill, you have to know what you are doing.

Happy Trades
Focus only on what truly matters!

Most gaps are closed on most pairs including the Dax. However the Dax is not always to be relied upon for gap closing. It all depends on which broker you use. The reason being that not very few brokers run the Dax 24/5. Most brokers run the Dax 15/5. In my case I have no Dax feed from 7am to 4pm. 4pm my time is when the German exchange opens. I often have "Gaps" at the German open on my trading chart. Luckily trading on the Dax is just a little sideways movement from 7am to 4pm my time. To counter this I run a chart from IG Markets alongside my trading chart so I can monitor the Dax until German opening. I don't trade with the IG chart because their leverage, spreads, stop loss spreads etc are pure crap. Not trader friendly at all.
The IG chart hardly ever shows a gap. It also gives a truer reading of price action due to it's 24/5 candles. If you look closely at these 2 charts you will see the differences.
